Through the lense of God.
As a believer in Christ, we are instructed to look at things through the lense of God’s word, the Bible. What does that mean? Well, when something happens in our life, we are to assess the situation looking at it from God’s perspective. “Not clear enough?” Example: If we are waiting for something to happen,…

Lady of Diligence
Dear Lady of Diligence, Do you find it hard to get past the emotions of wanting a boyfriend or future husband? Does your mind constantly go back to wanting a relationship, someone to hug and hold you? Do you imagine a love story like you see in the movies? But… Are you forgetting the task…

Yesterday
Do you ever find yourself saying “remember when”, “I remember the time…”, or even “I was so much fun when we…” of course you do, we all do it. We remember the “Yesterdays” the times spend with family and friends the days when we were young and set out to conquer the world. Those are…

Northern Magic
Last year was the first time I ever saw the Northern lights. My husband got me up in the middle of the night, so that I could sit on a cold dock to stare up at the dark sky. We had been sitting there for almost an hour and I was feeling ready to leave,…

Becoming a Valentine

James 4:6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Why does God give us more Grace?… because we need it. So many times in our lives we stumble and fail in our Christian walk, but we have a wonderful God that forgives us (giving…

Cold… but Sunny and Beautiful.
This is simply the most perfect picture to show what it is like where I live in Northern Minnesota. This last week, it has been between -20° F to 0° F and it only promises to get colder. Many will say that it is too cold, but in truth, this is one of the most…

Live in Awareness, Not Fear
Something that I have learned over the years is that we can’t live life always in fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of the “what ifs”, fear of the maybes, these will only make your life miserable. Instead, live life aware of God’s promises. Meaning prepare for the future, but not worry about things that…
