Turn on the light

Last updated on: August 13, 2022 at 8:32 pm   By Kim Hardy

 “Then Jesus spoke to them again: “I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows Me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.” John 8:12     Ouch! I grumbled as I walked into the doorframe half asleep. I didn’t want to turn the light on as to not disturb my husband as he lay in bed asleep, but my eyes didn’t adjust to the darkness quick enough and I stumbled into the doorframe... Read more

     “But his officers tried to reason with him and said, “Sir, if the prophet had told you to do something difficult, wouldn’t you have done it? 2 Kings 5:13a NLT How many times have you missed out on being healed because you didn’t like the way it looked or sounded? As little kids, a kiss on the boo-boo or a band-aid is an immediate fix. We are happy with the attention and run off to play some more.... Read more

God hears you

 “Ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.” Matthew 7:7-8 CSB     This past month God has opened my eyes to all the prayers that I prayed years ago and he has answered or is answering. I am thankful every morning that I wake... Read more

Take Him out of the box

Last updated on: May 21, 2022 at 10:14 am   By Kim Hardy

 “Go to my servant David and say, “This is what the Lord says: Are you to build me a house to dwell in?” 2 Samuel 7:4     As I was reading my Bible in a year from the Bible version app this morning this verse jumped off the page at me. I continued to read and I felt like God was asking me why I was keeping him in a box. As humans, we tend to put God in... Read more

      You are an Author!  You are Beautiful!  You are Called!  You are Chosen!  You are Enough!      You are Equipped!  You are Loved!  You are Unique!     I have those words on a sticky note or index card taped to my desk. Something so silly, but yet a daily reminder of who God says I am. I need those daily reminders as I’m sure most of you do, and if you’re like me you want... Read more

Where have you been?

Last updated on: March 18, 2022 at 12:13 pm   By Kim Hardy

      I’ve had several people tell me that I need to write again. That they miss reading my blog posts and while I felt encouraged I wasn’t ready to write. I wasn’t in a place to open up, but today I am willing to do just that. So, where have I been?     I can sit here and tell you that I’ve been busy, and I wouldn’t be lying. My schedule has been crazy with going back... Read more

What’s my word?

Last updated on: January 3, 2021 at 3:48 pm   By Kim Hardy

This past year was one that I hope I don’t soon forget because I struggled in every area of life. I struggled mentally. I struggled physically. I struggled spiritually. I struggled financially.  I struggled with making decisions, although many people would say that is nothing new. I struggled with being bored. I struggled with not being able to help others. I struggled with not being able to be alone. I struggled with not being around my friends and coworkers and... Read more

Darkness

Last updated on: December 6, 2020 at 1:53 pm   By Kim Hardy

2020 has seemed to be the year of darkness for many. There seems to be a loss of hope and with that loss there seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel as we see the numbers of this virus surge for a second time this year causing many to fall further into depression, lose jobs, and wonder if this is the beginning of the end. While this world seems to be spinning out of control and... Read more

Last updated on: November 29, 2020 at 2:51 pm   By Kim Hardy

      As I sat staring at my Bible this morning knowing I needed to open and read it I didn’t know what chapter to read or what to focus on. I picked up my Bible and prayed, God show me where to turn and I’ll read it. I opened my study Bible and began to flip the pages and stopped at 2 Chronicles 20. That is where I found a little nugget of goodness that spoke to me... Read more

Aches and Pains

Last updated on: November 25, 2020 at 6:10 pm   By Kim Hardy

 There are many jokes about growing older but there is nothing like experiencing the aches and pains of growing older. If you keep up with me you know that the past two years have rough. Life hasn’t been full unicorns and rainbows or even a walk in the park, its been more like trying to ride a bicycle blind folded in the dark. Nothing has made sense and I’m pretty sure most of it never will. So, why am I... Read more
