Advancing God's Kingdom in the Family System
Have you ever tried being friendly, but you were not treated in a friendly manner? I experienced that recently and it did not hurt my feelings. I remembered grandma Sally‘s comment on my post, “offense“. God is taking me to a place where offense and pride would be costly. So, I am working on being […]
“Be nice to your brother”, “share”, “quit pushing your brother”…a lot of pushing and grabbing have been going on between my little ones lately.

Where, O death, is your sting?” The […]
As I meditate on scriptures about Jesus’ final moments on earth, I am left in awe of Jesus’ humility. My heart’s cry this season is “Lord, teach me to humble myself”. Jesus had the power to stop those who mocked and tortured him (Matthew 26:53). Yet, he laid down His life (John 10:18). Humility made […]
