You may have noticed I've been taking an impromptu break from blogging. I promise I will be back in May with more articles and fun content. Meanwhile, this article I posted a couple years ago is still just as important, inspiring, and true in April 2026. I hope you enjoy! I sighed and inwardly groaned. I reached for the TV remote and turned off the news. I can’t even watch the news for more than a couple minutes without being so discouraged, I thought. Almost ever

I’m going to be honest. I say that I want to follow God’s will above my own more than I actually do it. Even though there is literally no reason for me to doubt God’s goodness, His perfect plan for my life, or His ability to accomplish it, I still struggle to submit my will to His.

Abram In Genesis 12, God speaks to Abram saying, “Get out of your country, from your family and from your father’s house to a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and y

Silent night Holy night All is calm All is bright... Have you ever noticed how peaceful and calm Nativity Scenes often are? It may look like a sweet picture of Mary cradling her baby in her arms with Joseph close-by while a few snowflakes gently fall to the ground outside. I hate to destroy this lovely scene, but can we be realistic for a minute here? First of all, it does not snow in the Middle East... Mary was likely not looking -- or even feeling, for that matter --

I once read a devotional that focused on the story in Genesis when God made Eve, the first woman. The point of that devotional always stuck with me, even a few years later. Let’s walk through it in today’s article. The Problem In Genesis 2, we see God creating the universe. After He created man, He said, “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him” (verse 18, NKJV). There was a problem: Adam, the fir
