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.

Hoping for an amazing story

everfaith

John 14-17 Jesus did not leave us alone.  He sent us the Holy Spirit to remind us of those things we have learned in the middle of those times that we need it the most. Did you know that Jesus prayed for your protection, for the protection of those who are His?  Protection from the enemy is not just something that WE ask for…we can be confident that we receive it because Jesus himself asked for it for us, his chosen ones. Divine protection is much stronger and safer than the most stringent security system in the world, don’t you … Continue reading Hoping for an amazing story

He went to extremes

everfaith

Luke 22; John 13 Usually when I read the account of the Last Supper I focus on the communion aspect.  But there was more to that meeting in the Upper Room than first met my eye. 5 Jesus told them, “In this world the kings and great men lord it over their people, yet they are called ‘friends of the people.’ 26 But among you it will be different. Those who are the greatest among you should take the lowest rank, and the leader should be like a servant. 27 Who is more important, the one who sits at the table or the … Continue reading He went to extremes

What He Wills

everfaith

Matthew 26, Mark 14 Can you imagine Jesus on the night he was betrayed?  He was God, but he was also fully human…a human who knew the precise details of his upcoming torture and death.  Dying on the cross was brutal.  I can’t imagine the dread that must have snaked its way through his gut as the hour of his betrayal grew closer and closer. There are things that we also must face that we don’t want to.  Every ounce of our humanity may scream out NO when we hear the Lord whisper where he wants us to go.  Yet … Continue reading What He Wills

Return on the Lord’s Investment

everfaith

Matthew 25 This revelation that the Kingdom is IN me is coloring so much of what I read in the Bible in a new light!  I’ve always been puzzled about the parable of the ten bridesmaids…five wise ones prepare extra oil for the bridegroom’s arrival, and five foolish ones do not.  When the groom returns, the foolish ones have to go to the store to buy more oil, while the five wise ones welcome the groom with a well lit wedding feast. I think perhaps the oil in this parable is referring to a faith that is always on the … Continue reading Return on the Lord’s Investment

The Science, Machine, and Early Results

everfaith

My fingers have been itching to blog about my experience at the South Texas Innovative Medicine clinic.  I still can’t believe that I journeyed there by myself without the sturdy hand of my husband keeping my anxiety at bay on the airplane…yet, in a way, I can believe it, because the Kingdom of God is IN me.  Jesus’ strong hands carried me through the week.  And although I was lonely, I was never alone. On my first day to the clinic, I underwent various tests.  X-rays of my feet and ankles showed obvious darker areas where the bone was thinning … Continue reading The Science, Machine, and Early Results
