Jehovah Jireh – The Lord Will Provide

Jehovah Jireh – The Lord Will Provide

It sounds silly, maybe – pajamas, a shawl, a pair of jeans. So insignificant in the grand scheme of life, yet these simple things bring tears to my eyes. They are tangible evidence of God’s love for me – something I can hold in my hand and exclaim, “Jehovah Jireh – the Lord will provide”… and He has. Our church holds a clothing drive twice a year, in the spring and fall. It’s a full week of countless people working…

Finding Peace in the Pauses

Finding Peace in the Pauses

Are you in a busy season of life? Summer, the holidays, homeschooling, life with little ones; though they are full of joy, these can all be busy, hard seasons. Perhaps you’re waiting on God… waiting for healing, answers to prayer, or for an easier season. Maybe, like me, you’re looking for peace in the pauses. Human BEings Our lives have been so busy lately. In April and May we kept very busy finishing up our homeschooling before the summer break,…
