I am a homeschooling mom who enjoys reading, writing, gabbing, photography, desktop publishing, and letting someone else do the cooking. I love my Superman husband, precious daughter, 2 dogs, my neighbor (that means you!) and Jesus.

The Truth About Trust

everfaith

This is no ordinary holiday season for my family.  There are painful realities every which way we turn.  I am praying myself up for a follow-up CT scan on Monday.  This time I will not go it alone.  My husband is taking me.  Most of all, I pray for peaceful thoughts.  I don’t want to obsess about the contrast dye that will be injected into my vein.  I don’t want to obsess and wonder whether or not my lymph nodes are enlarged and, if so, what that may entail.  I just want to hold onto Jesus and my family this … Continue reading The Truth About Trust

Resisting the Fade

everfaith

Social networking websites are all the rage these days.  It’s apparent from looking at our family Thanksgiving candid photos that I spent way too much time lurking the halls of Facebook. It’s also apparent from recent hardships in my circle of friends that Satan stands ever ready to use any means possible to destroy relationships, including social networking.  Reconnecting with old friends means the potential is there to reconnect with old flames…and consequently, to get burned. So began a true, high-tech “love” triangle between my friend Leslie, her husband Brent, and a man from the past named Les. (Not their … Continue reading Resisting the Fade

With Thankgiving

everfaith

My last post was all a jumble of thoughts and confusion.  I’ve since then experienced peace about many aspects of my Christian walk and beliefs.  As He always does, the Lord tenderly (sometimes not so tenderly!) showed me truth through the pages of His word and through worship.  I am not going to be part of doctrinal dog fights.  I believe in God the Father. I believe in God the Son. I believe in the Holy Spirit.  And I will not clutter my mind with hairsplitting because I think that probably makes the Lord sad.  Church last Sunday seemed to … Continue reading With Thankgiving

Thoughts all a jumble

everfaith

My thoughts are in a jumble tonight. I’ve been reading a book about the Holy Spirit. Much of what I am reading I agree with…but then I googled the author of the book and found that many “apologetics” consider him a heretic. Why? Because he said that in the Scriptures, Jesus never preached the Bible. Jesus preached the Kingdom of God. The apologetic writer asserts that it is impossible to separate the two and that when Jesus was preaching about the Kingdom of God, since the Word is God (John 1), he was also preaching the Word. It makes me … Continue reading Thoughts all a jumble

Singing with my mouth…but not with my soul

everfaith

My fingers have been itching to write over the past couple of weeks, but carving out time to do so is just not happening on a regular basis. It’s cold today here, at least by North Texas standards.  My spine hurts, my fingers hurt, my knees hurt, and my hips hurt.  I don’t know if there is a joint in my body that is not aching today.  Maybe the one in my little toe… But I digress.  This cold, dreary weather is an accurate reflection of the inside of me at the moment.  My spiritual temperature is lukewarm.  I feel … Continue reading Singing with my mouth…but not with my soul
