When Our Plan B is God’s Plan A

Last updated on: November 2, 2017 at 9:33 pm By MaryJo Petersen Castro

Plan A was the plan my mom put her entire godly faith in, plan B was never really discussed, except one time. She laid on the couch fighting advanced breast cancer that had morphed into bone cancer when my mom talked about plan B. We talked about many things; for she was also my friend. I asked my mom if God choose not to heal her and when she got to heaven, to please tell our son how much we... Read more

Unanswered Prayers

Last updated on: October 27, 2017 at 9:28 pm By Kathy Sherwin

“He makes everything work out according to His plan.” Ephesians 1:11 I can relate to Garth Brooks’ famous song “Unanswered prayers.” The chorus of the song goes like this: Sometimes I thank God, for unanswered prayers Remember when you’re talkin’, to the man upstairs And just because he doesn’t answer, doesn’t mean he don’t care Some of God’s greatest gifts, are unanswered prayers Granted this is a very “southern” way of stating a very profound reality, but – since I do...

Imagine the Bigger Picture of Your Life

Last updated on: October 20, 2017 at 9:22 pm By MaryJo Petersen Castro

Some time ago, God revealed to me that He is a big picture God and that He is equally detailed too. Why should this matter? Because for us to see the bigger story in our lives, we need understand the bigger picture and the bigger purposes of God in our lives. Time frames our lives, and the images we paint on our life’s canvas will reflect one of two things when we come to the end of our lives here... Read more

What’s Your Foundation?

Last updated on: October 17, 2017 at 5:08 pm By Ann White

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]If you were building a house, you would never start framing until a solid foundation was properly in place. So why not approach your spiritual life with the same care and concern? Without a strong foundation, our houses crumble in severe storms. Similarly, without a solid spiritual foundation, we crumble, sometimes at the mere mention of a storm. Jesus uses this illustration in His sermon on the mount: “Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them,... Read more

Self-Talk is Serious Business

Last updated on: October 13, 2017 at 5:05 pm By Kathy Sherwin

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” Romans 12:2 Recently, I was in the produce section at the grocery store, talking to myself about what type of lettuce I wanted to purchase. I was surprised when the Produce Manager asked if I need help finding something. I responded that I was just talking to myself... Read more

Walking With God

Last updated on: October 10, 2017 at 5:01 pm By Ann White

“No, O people, the Lord has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.” Micah 6:8 Do you ever stop to think about what it means to walk with God? In Genesis 5:21-24 we read of a man named Enoch who began walking with God after he turned sixty-five years old –– and he continued walking with God the rest of... Read more
