I Heard You, God. Now What?

Last updated on: April 20, 2024 at 9:16 pm By Kim Hardy

God’s Invitation Have you ever had a conversation with God that started like this: I heard you, God. Now what? God created each of us for a purpose. Many will roam this earth living life wondering what their purpose is and never truly seek the answer. When we form a relationship with Jesus and seek his will for our lives he will reveal what he wants us to do. There will be times when you feel you heard him loud... Read more

Sorrow And Joy Collide: The Journey To The Cross

Last updated on: March 31, 2024 at 8:49 pm By Kim Hardy

Journey to the Cross The journey to the cross is where sorrow and joy collide. “They hated me for no reason.” (John 15:25, CSB) Jesus was talking to his disciples. He was reminding them that the trials they would experience he had already endured. The disciples did not realize it at that moment, but their lives were about to change. Travel with me back in time when there was no instant access to the biggest event in history. The news was... Read more

Pin The Tail On The Donkey… You WIN!

Last updated on: March 5, 2024 at 3:56 pm By Kim Hardy

Have you ever played pin the tail on the donkey? It is a game that was played at birthday parties when I was growing up. The objective of the game, you guessed it, is to pin the tail on the donkey. There is a catch though, you are blindfolded, spun around, and then you attempt to pin the tail on the donkey. It is a fun game, guaranteed to make everyone laugh as the participants attempt to pin the tail... Read more

Living Each Day With Purpose

Last updated on: February 26, 2024 at 4:34 pm By Kim Hardy

Obedience to God is a decision we make daily. I would say most days I choose to obey God, so, when God gave me the word obey to focus on throughout 2023, I told him I got this. I’m sure he laughed. I was doing what he asked of me, well, for the most part. I did not expect 2023 to be the year that God broke me, stretched me, and expanded my understanding of who HE is. Pull up... Read more

Are You Stumbling Through Brain Fog?

Last updated on: February 8, 2024 at 9:09 am By Kim Hardy

Dense Fog Alert! That warning seems to be where my mind stays lately. My shield is up, my feet are planted, and my mind spins like a merry-go-round when change is on the horizon. I’m bracing for the windy gales that change will bring and grasping onto the comfortable. My mind is in a constant battle between the what-if scenarios and knowing that God is working all things for my good. Change isn’t always bad, although it can be brought... Read more

One Word

Last updated on: January 12, 2024 at 6:40 am By Kim Hardy

A word. Just one word can build someone up or tear them down. We have the option to speak life or death into others. When we become intentional with our words, we can make a difference whether good or bad. The choice is always ours. Do we want to be known as a life giver or life taker? Why focus on one word for a year? When we choose one word for the year it allows us to be more... Read more

Who Do YOU Say That I Am?

Last updated on: January 30, 2024 at 7:24 pm By Kim Hardy

I sat in the stillness of the early morning reading my advent devotional and my heart was stirred by the Holy Spirit. I had just read Luke chapter nine. In which Jesus asked his disciples two questions. The first question was who does the crowd say that I am. The second was who do you say that I am. Both questions will have answers that reflect the heart of those who are following him, but the second question stopped me... Read more

Beware…of the Yeast?

Last updated on: January 30, 2024 at 7:19 pm By Kim Hardy

Have you ever baked with yeast? I have been baking cinnamon rolls lately, and while I was adding the yeast to the hot water I was reminded of Jesus’s warning to his disciples. “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” (Matthew 16:6 NLT) The little rocks softened and spread immediately. Once I added the yeast to the flour mixture it became gooey. As minutes ticked by the dough began to rise, it doubled in size after an hour.... Read more

The laughter of others bounced off the walls of the room while I sat wondering if they even noticed that I was there. Chatter from my joyful friends drifted to my ears, but I felt alone. No one noticed when I walked in and sat down. No acknowledgment of my presence. No nod of the head in my direction. No wave of the hand by those sitting closest to me. Negative thoughts rushed to my mind as seconds turned into... Read more

Frazzled, hot and nervous! I pulled into the Drury entrance with my heart racing. The conference was about to start and I only had 10 minutes to check in and unload my luggage. I left work with plenty of time to get there, but traffic became congested just miles away from my exit. I jumped out of the truck with my purse and entered the hotel with a frantic look on my face. I was greeted by a gentleman whose... Read more
