The Sweet Smell of Perfume

My Everyday Hope

“Mary therefore took a pound of expensive ointment made from pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.” John 12:3

I want to thank you for bearing with me these last few weeks and months. The last few weeks especially have been extremely hectic-Between work and…my daughter getting married!- I couldn’t keep my mind straight. It’s funny, I didn’t realize just how much the prep for the wedding was on my mind. When I went to work that following Monday, I was actually able to concentrate. Continue reading “The Sweet Smell of Perfume” →

I am a…Christian?

My Everyday Hope

“So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” John 13:34-36

Hi, friends. I’m sorry I haven’t posted since the beginning of the week. Besides being busy at work I’m also not feeling the greatest. So my mind has been moving EXTRA slow. 🙂

Although I’ve been quiet the last few days, I have been trying to pay more attention to God’s work in my life. Listening to His Word through Pastors, praise music and books. Continue reading “I am a…Christian?” →

Harvesting

My Everyday Hope

“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.” Galatians 6:9-10

My husband and I spent the day yesterday planting our garden. I cannot tell you how excited I am for this time of year! I love to have my hands in the dirt planting the veggies we will enjoy later this summer and fall. Continue reading “Harvesting” →

There’s No Denying…

My Everyday Hope

“Display the wonders of Your faithful love, Savior of all who seek refuge from those who rebel agains Your right hand.” Psalm 17:7

Happy Friday friends! God is SO good!

In the midst of our troubles we can always know that our God is faithful to those who love Him. Today is the first day in a long time that I feel truly happy about every aspect of my life. I’m not where I want to be ultimately but I’m on my way Continue reading “There’s No Denying…” →

Sharing How Good Our God Is

My Everyday Hope

“The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise.” Proverbs 11:30

I don’t know about you but discipleship-sharing my faith-is not a strong point of mine. Not face to face any way. I want to. Desperately. But I’ve never been very good at confrontations and I tend to fear that if I go to share my faith that’s what I’m going to be faced with. There’s part of me too that doesn’t want to look like an idiot. Continue reading “Sharing How Good Our God Is” →
