For Israel, what enemy could be harder to conquer than a nation under which they were slaves? God miraculously brought them out of the tyranny of Egypt, and He would bring them to victory over other nations. Now, paint that as a spiritual picture: what greater, more miraculous victory is there than Christ redeeming is from death and sin? And if He has done that which is impossible with men, how much more does He have power to do anything else?

There is nothing wrong with taking joy in what God...

Books I Read - May 2017

It's that time of month! That time when I look back and realize... wait I DID read more than I thought I did (seriously... it felt like I could never find reading time)!! This month felt very much like an un-reading month to me!!
My favorite read of the month...

I've known about Warren Wiersbe for years now, seeing as he's my dad's favorite author (and my dad is NOT a reader...so the fact that he likes to read this guy's books...). I've been collecting Wiersbe's books as they come up free for K...

First Line Fridays | 6.2.17

Happy June!! To me, the very first weeks of June (not mid-June) seems like the official start of summer as I wrap up teaching, have my students' music recitals, and then summer camps begin. Unfortunately, summer usually isn't as much of a reading time for me as life tends to get busier. What about you? Do you read more or less in the summer?
My first line this week is from book one of a super sweet series that you absolutely must read: A Time of Grace trilogy by Alicia G. Ruggieri. I actu...

Foto Sisters Music

This week's music feature is of some childhood friends of mine: the Foto sisters. We used to play music together at church and went through a lot of learning together. I'm so excited to be watching where the Lord leads their music group.
Here is one of their newer songs from their YouTube channel:

Zerina Blossom's Books"Once upon a time … there was a girl named Cinderella. You all know the story, but I bet you haven’t heard it told quite like this. There is no prince charming, no ball, and definitely no romance. Rather, there is a little, crippled girl kidnapped while her father...

Scripture Graphics #41

What a glimpse into the heart of God! Yes, He said this of Israel, but He never changes, and verses in the New Testament (such as 2 Peter 3:9) prove His desire for all mankind.

The definition for "whole heart" is "the whole heart, used widely for the feelings, the will, and even intellect; likewise for the center of anything." If I am seeking God with my feelings, will, and intellect, then I will be more likely to let God run my life, and less likely to let my life be run by my feelings, will,...
