Galatians 6:9 And let us not get tired of doing what is right, for after a while we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t get discouraged and give up. Last August, for our 13th wedding anniversary, my husband bought me a bicycle. I had never really been a big fan of riding. I had bought a bike about… Continue reading Uphill & Against the Wind
It has been a busy few weeks around Harvestime and honestly I am still recovering. After finishing a week of the Converge Kids Summer Tour there is nothing I want more to do than to curl up on my couch, watch Christmas movies with my daughter and eat junk food. (Yes I said Christmas movies in July…get over it). One… Continue reading Cutting down trees and changing lives
The police department of Lubang kept on getting reports of a man who was stealing sheep, tools, and other small household items. Many times search parties ventured into the jungle to try and find the culprit only to return empty handed, frustrating the locals. Finally on March 19, they apprehended Hiroo Onoda. Imagine the surprise in discovering that Hirro was… Continue reading Ekbello and the World’s Greatest Hide and Seek Player

Bees. Specifically hornets. You know it is summer when these little “friends” come out to play. I am fully aware there is a legitimate reason for hornets and that God created them with a purpose for our ecosystem, but can I just say…I don’t like them one bit. With the final switch to beautiful weather, we put to work getting… Continue reading Taking back the deck
There is this song that we sing called “Holy Spirit”. I believe that it is one of Rachael’s favorites and I feel leery about writing a blog piece about music seeing the only C note I recognize is $100 dollar bill. Being a professional talker, I do know words. The line from the song “Come flood this place and fill… Continue reading Holy Spirit Atmosphere
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the bigness of God. It’s so easy to get caught up in our problems and issues, or perhaps in our own greatness that we forget about how BIG God is. There is One that is greater, stronger and better than us. He is the only one that will never fail. He is faithful… Continue reading Radiantly Beautiful
Have you ever been at church and heard a testimony from someone that makes you think: ‘what am I doing with my life?’ I recently attended the Wisconsin District Summit, a gathering of Assemblies of God ministers from Wisconsin. During the missions portion of the summit, they spotlighted a little girl named Addy. She was probably 4 or 5 years… Continue reading Advancing
“History repeats itself” was a quote some attribute to Rufus Historie in 1553. I mean he had just witnessed the Protestant Reformation resulting in the upheaval of many nations. What else could possibly happen that hasn’t happened before? Unless he believed in reincarnation and was stating that Historie would repeat himself and we lost the meaning of his words throughout… Continue reading U.S. Grant and the Kingdom of God
When I was in high school I was on our dance team. I can still remember watching them as a little girl and wanting to be a part of that team. They were the best in the state and won invitations to the national competition every year. So my sophomore year I tried out and was granted one of the few open places on the team. I can still… Continue reading Fix your eyes
