Because I know prayer changes things, we must pray and keep on praying. Here are some posts that will build your faith and inspire you to persist until you breakthrough to victory.
Everyone wants to make a difference. We want our lives to count. Somehow there is a awareness in us that says we were made for a purpose, even before we are born into God’s family. But as believer’s our sense of purpose, our goal to please God propels us to ask, Father, can I make […]
I’ve been digging through Scripture recently to understand what God thinks about what we think. I’m been shocked by the many discoveries and treasures that I have seen. Not new stuff, more like sorting pieces of a puzzle into colors and then beginning to see where they fit and then as they fit seeing the […]
I’m always learning…but honestly the lesson I learned at the wedding reception surprised me. But, let me show you instead of tell you. Come walk with me and let’s take a closer look at the wedding reception at Cana in John 2. You can hear the laughter and the voices trying to talk over the […]
Catch the wind of the Holy Spirit? Why would I want to catch the wind? And, what do I mean when I say “catch the wind of the Holy Spirit”? The Greek word used for spirit is pneuma which simply means wind, breath or spirit. Many of the attributes of the wind describe what Holy […]
We built our house almost 20 years ago! (Where has the time gone?) When I say we built it, I mean literally. We hired a contractor to dry it in, then we took over. It took us months. We moved in with bare floors and no window stills. We really enjoy working together, so it […]
What do YOU do with broken things? What about chipped things…slightly imperfect things? Do you throw it away or repurpose it? I was faced with that challenge. We, Wayne and I, love, absolutely LOVE ‘TREASURE HUNTING” in thrift stores. One afternoon, I gasped when I saw a gorgeous bowl sitting on an […]
I’m not satisfied with my weight right now, so when my friend challenged me to lose 5 lbs with her this month I eagerly accepted. I’m working on it! I’m eating right and exercising everyday. But, there’s a major challenge to getting that weight off. It’s birthday month in the Holland house. Both of […]
When you sin…you ARE guilty! Don’t get the idea that because you’ve done something wrong that you have you carry guilt. God has a much better plan for you. He came to take your sin and your guilt. But, you have a very important role in getting rid of guilt too! Your role! Don’t make […]
Not guilty. Then why do I feel guilty? And when I am guilty, why do I want to hide it? I’ve noticed, that at least kids have the same problem that I do. One of my favorite television shows is America’s Funniest Videos. Sometimes I laugh so hard my face hurts. The clips that amaze […]
Why would anyone wear a cross around their neck? I’m sure you know what happened on a cross! It once was a place where people were crucified; and it is a slow, agonizing, HORRIBLE way to die! How does a cross of gold or silver, even when it is bedazzled with scrolling or diamonds, make […]
Is there something you can do that will actually help you enjoy your life more? If there was a valid answer would you change what needed to be changed? Maybe you’re cautiously answering, “Well, that depends…” Have you ever thought about the fact that most folks have so much and enjoy it so little? That […]
Maybe is should seem obvious, but sometimes it’s not. That hope filled glow can be seen on children’s faces and in nature’s majestic artistry. Sometimes we see through eyes that are strained with drudgery, pain and struggles. It’s in those times that we need to be filled with hope. And it is in those times […]
