Verse of the Week: Philippians 2:5

Christie Love — Mon, 23 Jul 2012 16:42:17 +0000

About a decade ago, a craze of WWJD bracelets swept the world. Everyone wearing these bracelets was supposed to see them and be reminded to ask themselves, “What Would Jesus Do?” in each situation that they faced. I loved the concept behind this bracelet and wore one for awhile before it became a victim [...]

Big “But”s

I was reading an article the other day that was talking about women and self image. The article was listing the most common areas that women tend to be frustrated about their bodies and desire to change the most. I was not shocked to see that the number one thing on the list was their [...]

Verse of the Week: Colossians 3:1-2

Christie Love — Mon, 16 Jul 2012 11:36:57 +0000

This morning I got up early to spend some quiet time with God before the busyness of the day begins. It was amazing to me how in just the short walk from my bedroom to our dinning room table how many distractions I allowed to detour me from my destination with God. The things left on the [...]

Willing to Wait

Today I had one of those amazing ah-ha moments in my bible study that shook me to the foundation of my faith. This was such a powerful light bulb moment for me that I wanted to share it with you in hopes that you can see things in your life differently in the light of [...]

Verse of the Week: Isaiah 30:18

Christie Love — Sun, 08 Jul 2012 15:08:57 +0000

In the 30th chapter of Isaiah the prophet is rebuking God’s holy people for placing their trust in their neighbors, the Egyptians, to save them from the attack that the Assyrian army was waging against Israel at the time. Instead of looking to God to be their salvation and security they were trusting in foreign governments and garrisons to [...]

Coming Soon: Verse of the Week

I have a confession to make…. I struggle with memorizing scripture. Whew. Glad I got that off of my chest… Seriously, I have the ability to recall crazy obscure facts, dates, and names with no problem… but matching God’s word to a chapter and verse… and I struggle. This has frustrated me for years and [...]

If you give a Woman an hour

When I was a child I loved the book If you Give a Mouse a Cookie… as I have grown older- I came up with my own version of this childhood favorite that I could relate to. How about you, can you relate? If you give a woman an Hour If you give a woman [...]

One day, several years ago, my children and I were driving in the car when my oldest son who was six at the time asked me a question. “Mama… what will you do when I am all grown up?” His simple question caught me off guard and I faltered in my response. I thought for [...]

Lessons from The Waiting Room

Christie Love — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 08:36:19 +0000

Last week I shared that two of my kids were having their tonsils taken out. A simple, routine surgery I know; however, I have found that when it comes to your children there is NOTHING that feels simple and routine. Those short procedures felt like they took forever. It is amazing the way that time [...]

A Basket Full of Trust

Tomorrow two of my sweet children are having their tonsils removed. As I have recently been getting ready for this event I was reminded of a devotional that I wrote for the LeadHer Challenge devotional book that I would like to share with you today: A Basket Full of Trust But when she could hide him no [...]
