As I read Mathew 14, what stood out to me and what I wanted to share did not end up in this post. As I started to write I ended up focusing on Herod. A little atypical isn’t it to keep Herod as the main focus of a lesson. God has a way of teaching... Continue Reading →
Ephesians 2:10 “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” As I read this verse it made me think about ‘Purpose’. God created us to do good things that He has already prepared in advance for us. Works do not save,... Continue Reading →

This week passed in a blur for me. I was busy and was mentally drained with whatever free time I had and as a result my alone time with God and His word was not as long and focused as I would have ideally liked. Yesterday evening, my husband gently told me that I was... Continue Reading →

Joshua was the son of Nun born as Hosea into the tribe of Ephraim. Hosea means 'salvation'. It was Moses who later gives him the name Joshua (Num 13:16),... Continue Reading →
Between my husband and me, although I take longer than him to get ready to go somewhere, I usually am ready before him. He has the tendency to start getting ready 5 mins prior to the time we have to leave. Are you ready? This is a question you will find me asking my husband... Continue Reading →
The story of Jesus talking to the Samaritan woman at the well that we read in John 4: 1-26 is a very well-known passage of scripture. God is always teaching us something. As I was reading and pondering over this passage, looking to see what God might teach me this time, I kept getting interrupted.... Continue Reading →
