Psalm 119:77-81
Psalm 119:77-81(77) Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.Oh how we need the Lord's mercies to live! "It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness."(Lamentations 3:22-23)
We never deserve God's mercies - but we especially do not deserve them when we refuse His law.
(78) Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause:...

In Paths of Righteousness | Review and Giveaway!
Author Keri Aeschlimann graciously sent me a copy of her book, In Paths of Righteousness. But better than that, she also offered to have me host a giveaway of her book! How exciting is that? I enjoyed reading In Paths of Righteousness and think it'd be a great book to add to your shelf. As for details...

Reflections of my Father
When a baby is just learning how to walk, the parents are there, excited about every step, encouraging them when they stumble, and helping them up when the fall. That is how God is for us. He does not get angry when we stumble a step. Instead, He is there, willing and ready to help us.
"13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him. 14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust."Psalm 103:13-14
(thought encouraged by a Sunday Scho...

Word Wednesday #78
"He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen."(Deuteronomy 10:21
"He is thy praise" -- when the day is cloudy and it seems my every step is a struggle. When my hopes are dashed. When others praise me for something I could only accomplish through Him. Is He indeed my praise in ALL things?

Psalm 119:75-76
Psalm 119:75-76(75) I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.Similar to verse 71 ("It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes."), how do we view affliction? Do we truly believe that God afflicts us in His faithfulness (literally firmness; figuratively security; morally fidelity:)? Because God's judgments are right, and because we are His children, like the best of fathers, He must afflict us to bring...

Danielle and Deven | Wedding Photography
You know those posts when there's so much to say and you have no clue how to begin? That about defines me as I'm thinking back to the first solo wedding that the Lord allowed me to photograph (and I know this is SUPER late in being posted, seeing as the wedding was in June).
My sister met Danielle in college and somehow, as they were talking, mentioned that I was getting into photography, check out my website, etc. From day one, I said that this event was something that God just seemed to drop...

Shackled
"Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?" (Galatians 3:3)
I was saved as a young child and as I entered my teens, I desired to grow in the Lord. To know more of His Word. To be holy.
In my pursuit of holiness, set-apartness, and Godliness, I put away many things. My life began to be driven by rules of what I could and couldn't do. Many times, I would add to this list when a preacher or friend would suggest something that sounded like what a Christian...

Word Wednesday #77
"But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul." Deuteronomy 4:29
So often, we get imprisoned by "how far we've gone" that we never stop where we are to seek God. But God promises when we seek Him "from thence" (where we are at that moment) with our whole heart, we will find Him.
