What Can Man Do Unto Me?
I felt it was important for everyone to know that I loved Jesus and that He was a good God. I couldn’t go door-to-door by myself, so I did what I felt was the next best thing. I grabbed my walkman and headphones, popped in my cassette tape called “Kid’s Sing Praise,” went outside
Our Love Story - Part 8- I Now Pronounce you…
To me the day was perfect. I loved everything about it. There was no doubt in my mind that I was marrying the man of my dreams, the man I had prayed for.
Our Love Story - Part 7 - Will You Be My Wife?
“I bet he’s going to purpose today.”
“No way. He won’t do that without a ring, and he can’t afford a ring. He will probably have to do it at Christmas.” was my reply.
Our Love Story - Part 6 - Love, Sweet Love
I was speechless. I was not expecting to hear those words right then. It took me a minute, and once I recovered from my shock I smiled and said, “Thank you.” Ha!
Our Love Story - Part 5 - And So It Began
There was no hesitation by that point as I was completely smitten. I still had no idea what I was doing, I just knew that I very much enjoyed every second I spent with him.
Our Love Story - Part 4 - Little Changes
If I hadn’t fallen for Matt Sealy before, I definitely had now. There was now no doubt in my mind - I was no longer content with just a friendship.
Our Love Story - Part 3 - The Way to a Man’s Heart
You have heard the saying that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Well, that seems to be true in this case.
Our Love Story - Part 2 - The Budding Friendship
My admiration was growing for Matt, but there was a slight problem. He didn’t seem too interested in anything more than friendship.
Our Love Story - Part 1 - The Meet Cute
I can’t say it was love at first sight, but I was immediately attracted to him. I remember thinking to myself, “So that’s Matt Sealy! He’s kind of cute!”
God’s Rainbow
God invented the rainbow. He made the very first one and He has made every one ever since.
A Spiritual Support System
Every time that I have read this account or heard it taught on, I have pictured it as Naomi saying in a completely angry and bitter voice, feeling completely sorry for herself. And she very well may have said that way.
But what if it wasn’t quite like that?
Imitating Christ
Our day-to-day living for the Lord may feel insignificant to us. We may think that our impact on the world for Christ my seem secluded. But it only takes one…
A Friend in Need
Often, when someone is going through a trial, especially at the beginning, they don’t need long conversations about why this is happening. They don’t need advice on how to fix the issue. No, what they need is someone to just be there with them, sitting with them, crying with them, being present with them so they don’t feel alone.
The Scariest of Storms
We then decided it was best if we, too, got to the hallways where we would be safe and not exposed like we were in the lobby. We were standing in the balcony/second-floor level area making a plan where everyone was going to go...
And then, it happened.
Ugly Lovely Scars
I will always have my scars. But when I look at them as more of a story, the story of me and God’s plan for me, then it makes them less ugly and a bit more lovely.
Trust Your Father
My son was afraid. But he knew - even in his fear - that his daddy would be right there by his side the whole time. My husband had assured him that he wouldn’t leave him or let go of him. And in his sweet child-like faith, my son took his father at his word and trusted in him.
Beyond the Fog
Even when my vision is clouded over and I may be fearful of what I can’t see, I know that God is still there. God, who is my Comfort, the One whom I am familiar with, the One in whom I can find my home.
The Strength of the Lord
Five years ago right now I was in one of the lowest places I had ever been both spiritually and emotionally. Five years ago right now, there was so much going on in my family’s life. Everything was so overwhelming and I felt like the wind had been knocked out of me and I was gasping for air - only it wasn’t coming.
Cancel Out the Noise
It’s no secret that there is a lot going on in our world. Everywhere you turn you are bombarded with the issues of our day. The debates and opinions are everywhere. If you are anything like me, you are often overwhelmed with it all.
The Insanity of God
The stories of how Christians survive and churches flourish through these horrible circumstances is truly amazing. And exactly what we - the Church in the First World - in North America - need to hear about right now.
