By: Belinda Young “Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” Hebrews 13:5 It is always fun to be around friends and family having a good time and enjoying each other’s company. It is fun to laugh and play games, feeling the love and kindness of people you love. I am sure you have been in the midst of having a good time, and somebody for some reason, gets bent out of

By: Lisa Petersen “Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.” Luke 12:6-7 Recently, my husband was asked to preach, and I was asked to sing a special before his message. God put on my heart to sing, “His Eye Is on the Sparrow.” My husband took the theme of that song for his message that evening. Let me take this o

By: Samantha Brown "And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son." John 14:13 If there's one thing I know for sure, it's that God's promises are truth. I can hold Him to His word. In life, holding people to their word is unfortunately not always realistic. Sadly, I've known this as early as childhood. Learning to deal with it emotionally and spiritually are two different things. Personally, I've experienced abuse, hearta

By: Jenny Young “And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid was fair and beautiful; whom Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter.” Esther 2:7 We all know the life of Esther, and what God used her for. What a testimony and legacy Esther left behind for us to read about today. Esther’s life was not an easy life to live. Her parents were dead, she was being raised by

By: Renee Patton “…the Lord was with him….” Genesis 39:23b For the last few months, Joseph has been at the center of all things at church. I taught about Joseph’s life in my Junior Church class, and it seemed every adult Sunday School lesson tied back to Joseph somehow. God has a wonderful way of bringing comfort while in the midst of life’s storms. While I continue with so many unknowns of my own, God has given me a few reminders of His goodness, grace, and mercy in Joseph’

By: Bethany Riley Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and will all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. Matthew 22: 37-38 Have you ever been in love? I sincerely hope all of you married women are saying “yes” right now! There’s a big difference between being in a relationship with someone and being in love with someone. Hopefully, you are in love with the person you are in a relationship with, but

By: Hannah Hyatt Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them. Psalm 119:165 We all know “those” people – the ones we feel like we have to walk on eggshells around, the ones we treat with kid gloves, the ones we have to really watch ourselves around – so as not to upset them. These people are easily offended and make relationships difficult due to the burden they place on those around them. Over time, people withdraw from them because the constant

By: Aleah Winburn Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. Proverbs 4:26 I will reference a lot of Scripture so keep your Bibles handy. The day I started driving was the day that my GPS became one of my best friends. I use it quite often, even when I’m traveling to destinations that I regularly visit, such as work, because there are many ways to get there. Each day the best course could be different than the day before. I always want to take the best

By Rikki Beth Poindexter “And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.” Luke 2:10 I love this time of the year more than I do! I love everything about it: celebrating the birth of the Saviour, decorations, music, food, smells, family time, special events, NC weather (which can mean anything – but I love the cold of winter). I truly love it all! As a homeschooling mom, we took two weeks off and enjoy
