I enjoy a cup of joe like the rest; however, I don’t consider myself a coffee snob. Actually, I will drink just about any kind of coffee, especially when it means I’m with friends or family. When a friend asks me to go get coffee with her, I know it’s not the particular kind of […]
Just One Glance
There’s a similar theme throughout Scripture, and that is: When we take baby steps toward God, He runs toward us! When we are weak or hurting, our feeble cries for help immediately reach His ears, and He comes running after us! We simply turn in His direction, and He runs after us! Even the turning toward […]
A Few of my Favorite Things
It’s one thing to take a stand for something you don’t like or even hate, but wouldn’t you rather be known for things you love!? This is the difference: “Oh, Julie?! Yeah, she hates playing the middle man!” VERSUS “Oh, Julie?! She loves efficiency!” ******************************************* These are some of my favorite things that I love: […]
The Difference Between Hope and Expectations
While my boys were at youth group one night, I decided to go to a local Christian bookstore and wait for them. I love to read; I especially like non-fiction books! One book in particular caught my eye as I was wandering around. It was called “Plan A Women in a Plan B World.” Hope […]
Now (Worship and Intercession)!
“Come, Now is the Time to Worship” On my way to the grocery store, I was listening to the Christian radio station, and this song interrupted my thoughts. I’ve heard the song many times, but that day it was no longer just background music. The word “now” was punctuated as if God wanted to emphasize […]
Weight Loss Wednesdays
On Wednesday, June 2, we will officially begin our weight loss journey. Get up that morning and before you eat or drink anything, weigh yourself! Write down that number! Realistically, think of a weight you would like to be and write that number down also! Looking forward to you seeing less of me! Julie
***WARNING: This is NOT for the religious at heart!***
Do NOT read your Bible for three (3) days, and see how many Scriptures you already in your heart!!! Not having a Bible to read could be a very real possibility in the future. There will be no crash courses on memorizing Scripture at that time. Get the Word in your heart now. My family […]
Stressed? Overwhelmed? Let this sink in!!!
“Relax, everything’s going to be all right; rest, everything’s coming together.” Jude 1:2
Are You In or Are You Out?
If you are interested in accountability toward weight loss, exercise and encouragement to lose the weight you’d like, please consider joining me and others as we endeavor to shed unwanted weight and walk arm in arm on this journey together. It’s an uphill climb some days — believe me, I know! But once you’ve accomplished […]
A Fool and a Prudent Man … Does Scripture Contradict Itself?
I woke up today burdened with a situation that recently happened…again! I’m all too familiar with this particular scenario. I immediately started reading some books I have on my shelf about relationships, but I distinctly felt that Jesus wanted to speak to me. So I opened up the Word instead! I found Proverbs 12:16, and […]
