Five Minute Friday: Nothing. June 1, 2014. I’m a day late and a dollar short. But I think you’ll forgive me for that. There really is just nothing. Nothing in us that clings or holds tight. Nothing that is good or hopes. Nothing that does that thing that is right. And I know this and it scares me. The nothing scares me. Because I want there to be something, anything. Because my nothing has always been nothing. And His everything is enough. Posted in Five Minute Friday. When Valentine’s Day Hurts. He will...

A Daddy’s Day. June 15, 2014. I wrote this on Father’s Day a few years ago. It’s still one of my favorites…. Once Upon A Time…. There was a little girl and her Daddy. And they went burshin’. Burshin’, you wonder? Well, the little girl was only three and that was the best she could do. Fishin’ was what she was trying to say. They took their little jon boat and went burshin’ and caught all kinds of bursh! Lots of them and they were coming out of everywhere! I mean he shot that snake right OUT of that tree!

February 19, 2016. So I had a baby on my birthday. Nine years ago today in fact. I’ve written about this before. It’s just kinda one of those things that happened in my life that has forever left me changed and so, so thankful. This happened during a very dark and difficult time in my life. Having a baby was the very last thing I thought I needed. But I was so, so wrong. Don’t move him! He’s still attached! 8217; and that’s when I knew what your name would be, because Levi means,. It is in those moments,...

Five Minute Friday: Friend. Five Minute Friday: Nothing →. An Almost-NONE’s Perspective on Why the NONES Have Left the Church. May 29, 2014. I wrote a letter to the church recently. Not my church, but to the church in general. An interesting topic was presented in my Sunday School class a few weeks ago. I was gripped by it. This should concern us. I mean, this should really inflict alarm in the heart of today’s church. It should make us ask some hard questions and find some good answers. This is really h...

A Holding Pattern | live the victory
https://livethevictory.wordpress.com/2014/03/09/a-holding-pattern
Tackling daily challenges and laughing about the small stuff. March 9, 2014. This is where I seem to be. The Lord keeps speaking patience to me. To rest in Him, don’t make any sudden moves. He keeps reminding me that what appears before my eyes is not the truth of what is going on in the realm of the spirit. The preparation process is still active. Trust. Trust. Trust. Certainly, if He is instructing me to do these things then I have the capacity to do them. This would be me assuring myself). You are com...

Tackling daily challenges and laughing about the small stuff. June 6, 2014. This post by guest writer Ashley Bicehouse. Spring weather is here and you know what that means…Spring Cleaning! Did you know God wants us to clean our mind with the Word of God? This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate in it day and night, that thou might observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Tackling daily challenges and laughing about the small stuff. March 23, 2014. It’s not fair! We are not promised a life on this earth that is without pain and suffering. We have an enemy here that rejoices in our distress. He daily plots out attacks, distractions, and presents us with fears. Abandoned. Perhaps a childhood was tragic, and the hand of God felt far away. Why doesn’t He step in? Why doesn’t He stop this? Well…Here is what I have come to know. 11 For I know the plans I have for you, says the ...
