5 Steps to Repentance: David as Our Example

David, a man after God’s own heart, is the perfect example to begin this study on the 5 steps to repentance. These verses come from 2 Samuel chapter 12 NKJV.

A Call to Embrace the Moment

My call to embrace the moment began at 4 a.m. I am sandwiched in my king-sized bed between a three-year-old and a one-year-old. Now, if you’ve ever slept with a toddler you know that they do not sleep in a straight line as adults do. So when I say sandwiched, I mean I have one […]

What is it that you lack?

Today’s five minute friday prompt is “lack”. In today’s world of comparison, it is easy to become caught up in things you lack. I am always refocusing and counting my blessings in order to ward off the “I should have” or “I want” or “my kids need” or “the neighbor just got”. As I was […]

I Offer to You my Hand

Today’s five minute friday prompt is “offer”. It was a beautiful summer day 15 years ago. I was hiking along a river with my new friend. The water glistened as sun reflected off of it and a gentle spray touched my face. We were climbing among the large rocks that lined the river. My friend […]

How do You Measure Success?

Today’s five minute friday prompt is “measure” So, I ask you, in today’s crazy world of comparison traps, how do you personally measure success? I think it will look different for each of us, right?
