Have You Ever Thought About Where You’d Be Without Jesus?

Last updated on: August 13, 2024 at 3:58 pm   By Teresa Nichols

I wonder, “Have you ever thought about where you would be without Jesus?” I’m certain that this might seem like a strange thing to ask, but this subject has resonated through my mind all weekend. You see, I slowed down the rat race of my life in an effort to enjoy the beautiful weather and relax a bit. As I did so, I took my coffee, my journal, and my Bible and sat outside to enjoy the warmth of the... Read more

When I am weak, I Am Strong ~ How Can That Be True?

Last updated on: August 13, 2024 at 3:58 pm   By Teresa Nichols

Upon opening my Bible this morning, I almost laughed as I read a verse that I had actually heard mentioned as I scrolled through some Facebook and Instagram videos the night before. You would think I would get used to this type of thing happening after all these years of studying my Bible and spending time in the Word. But it still amazes me when one specific verse is being brought to my attention, from two totally different sources. The... Read more

God’s Abilities are Exceedingly Abundantly Greater Than Ours

Last updated on: August 13, 2024 at 3:58 pm   By Teresa Nichols

Ephesians 3:20 is one of my favorite verses, and one that I have claimed many times when I’ve faced difficult situations in my life! Thinking about this verse brings a sense of peace that I can’t really explain. Admittedly, I know the words by heart:  “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think..,” and these words come to my mind quickly when I need them! This verse serves as a reminder... Read more

Writer’s Block Seems Very Real But Maybe It’s Something More

Last updated on: August 13, 2024 at 3:58 pm   By Teresa Nichols

I’ve been struggling to write this past month, and honestly it has taken me by surprise. It has me admitting that “writer’s block” is a very real thing, and yet, wondering why now? I’ve heard this phrase for years, but never really experienced it, like I am in the present time. The truth is that more often than not, I usually have  multiple subjects brewing in the back of my mind, just waiting to be shared. So this lack of... Read more

Just thinking about the verse that was on my cup this morning… “To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under Heaven.” As I began to think about this scripture, I recalled having heard this verse many times over the years, and more often than not, it was spoken at a funeral. However, as I consider it today my mind has me pondering it from a different perspective. It’s one that pertains to God’s timing for... Read more

“Just Jesus” ~ Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life!

Last updated on: August 13, 2024 at 3:58 pm   By Teresa Nichols

0 Comments

When you see the words “Just Jesus,” what thoughts comes to mind? Does it make you think of one specific thing that “Just Jesus” is capable of doing? Does it make you think of how “Just Jesus” knows the real you? Does it bring to mind something that “Just Jesus” could have made possible in your life? Does it speak to your heart in any specific way at all? Pondering questions like these can help stir our hearts, as we... Read more

Faith Requires Us to be Believers ~ Not Achievers

Last updated on: August 13, 2024 at 3:58 pm   By Teresa Nichols

Faith Requires Us to be Believers ~ Not Achievers, but this can be a hard concept to grasp! After reading mentions of this topic, it got my mind stirring about this particular part of the Christian faith. Without a doubt, it is very important that we believe that we are accepted because of our faith in Jesus ~  and not because of our good works. While I love this fact, I must also admit that it seems contrary to how... Read more

Learning to trust God more, while worrying less, is an area that I believe most of us could admit to needing a little improvement in! It’s easy to say that we trust God; but oftentimes, we still worry and fret about situations that are seemingly impossible and beyond our control. Human nature has us trying to figure out every little detail of our problems for ourselves. We want the answers, and we want them right now! Yet, God commands us... Read more

What a Magnificent Sight to Behold… Merry Christmas 2023

Last updated on: December 24, 2023 at 9:21 am   By Teresa Nichols

This photo took my breath away because I adore seeing miraculous things like this, in the most unexpected moments. It’s just like God to stop my busyness long enough for me to look up at the moon and clouds, and grab my phone for a picture. It was beautiful enough, even before I saw the cross shining through it! That cross speaks to my heart, and carries so much meaning! But before all of that, a baby was born to... Read more

God Mysteriously Reveals The Importance of Faith

While pondering topics to write about this week, my thoughts were naturally leaning towards Christmas themes. The birth of Jesus, and all the miracles that surround it, are why we emphasize the expression that “Jesus is the Reason for the Season.” However, there was a specific word that continually captured my attention, and popped up every single day in one way or another. It was in my Bible reading time, songs I heard, and even television shows that happened to... Read more
