Walking with God
Romans 2: Religion vs. a Relationship
Are you enjoying God’s word as much as I am? Oh, I sure hope so. I want to encourage you to keep you eyes, ears, and heart wide open for what God wants to teach you through His word and every day examples in life. https://youtu.be/Faav3tSUnas Take-aways from today:...
Romans TWO: God is the Judge, NOT you.
Are you okay with us taking a bit longer than sixteen days to read through the book of Romans? Well, we are. There is so much goodness in here, and the videos can be lengthy, so I’m going to read less verses in order to have shorter videos. Are you with me?...
Romans 1…Dog-gone Good
Hi! I hope you’ll join me as I: Read aloud a chapter from Romans for the next sixteen days Seek to know my Lord more and His plan for me (you) Grow in knowledge and wisdom in Him Transform my mind daily for Christ Keep my God Goggles on to see God’s word come alive...
It’s a great feeling getting into God’s word!
I’m so excited to back into God’s word! Sure, I’ve read verses daily and remained constant in prayer, but there is nothing like truly getting in His word and allowing God to speak to you. I just needed a little encouragement…and a simple email, from someone I’ve never...
Learning character from The Masked Singer:
Opinion piece and lesson learned. I had settled into my couch to be entertained by this reality television show. It is into its seventh season, and I have enjoyed guessing who the singer is, behind the mask, each show. At the very end of the hour-long show, I was...
Why be average?
The pastor was preaching from 1 Thessalonians 4. When we read the words “even more” in both verses 2 and 10, I reread and made the connection. What are we to do “even more”? We are to love and live even more. This got my curiosity up as to what else we are called to...
Count your blessings
In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 NASB God must have really wanted me to get to church. Have you ever been in a group when someone asks for prayer requests, and hands go up, serious requests are...
Holy Week and the Characteristics of Christ
This week, from Palm Sunday (the Sunday before Easter) to Easter Sunday, is considered Holy Week. To me, as a Christian, Easter Sunday is the most important and exciting holiday. Year after year we hear the story of Easter. As a little girl, sitting in Sunday school...
Life is short. Speak. Be Impactful.
Three lessons I learned this weekend: https://youtu.be/-Qoo0rqvO4Q Life is short.Treasure each moment. How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone. James 4:14 NLT Hearing is the last...
Just Breathe
This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Look! I am going to put breath into you and make you live again! Ezekiel 37:5 NLT Just Breathe! This is exactly what I’ve been doing the past two months while we revive the Soaking up The Son website. Up until mid January, I was...
Don’t Block God
Sometimes I think that the texts I send to my kiddos are blocked because they don’t respond. I pray that today's video encourages you: https://youtu.be/yPAk7vr7uX0 Don’t block God. Listen to Him. Read His word. Obey. Obey, and it will all be okay. But if I see that...
In the midst of the noise
Set your minds on the things that are above, not on the things that are on earth. Colossians 3:2 NASB In my dream I was in a locally owned restaurant. I had noticed a friend on the other side of the room and began having a conversation with them from a distance. It...
