Missions Moment: Interview with Beth
Hey friends! I am so very excited about today’s post. Beth, a family friend and missionary to Zambia from our church, kindly agreed to do this interview. Her example of following Jesus is such an encouragement to me! I was so blessed by what she shared and I know you will be as well. If you’d like to learn more about Zambia, support Beth, or sign up to receive her newsletters, you can visit her ministry website here at LightinZambia.com. I know she would so appreciate your prayers! Naomi: Thank you so much for taking the time to do this interview! To start with, would you please share your testimony…

Faith, Hope, and Love
Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father (1 Thessalonians 1:3). This verse caught my eye during my personal Bible study recently. I found encouragement and a challenge in it that I’d like to share with you today. The Lord presents here such a beautiful picture of the Christian life—a life where faith results in good works, where love motivates us to labor long, and where hope produces patience as we believe the promises of God and eagerly await the return of our Lord Jesus! Work of Faith We know…

My Favorite Music Resources
Hey friends! I don’t know about you, but I am always on the lookout for good music resources, especially Christian ones. As a musician and teacher, these resources are ones that I have personally found helpful, and today I’m excited to share with you some of the favorites I’ve found! Even if you’re not a musician, perhaps you know someone who is; if so, feel free to pass along the link to this post. Koerts Music. This is one of my absolute favorite places to find beautiful hymn arrangements. Mr. Koerts’ arrangements are tasteful, worshipful, and the perfect time length for a special at church. He offers piano solos and…

2023 Bright Lights Conference
Hey friends! I’m so excited to bring a guest report to you today. Family friends, a mother and daughter, recently attended the 2023 Bright Lights Conference at the Ark Encounter in Kentucky. Mrs. N very kindly took the time to write this report and send it to me. Maybe this would be something any moms reading would enjoy doing with their daughters in future years; or perhaps you are a young lady who is looking for a some godly mentoring resources or a ministry to be involved in. Be sure to check out Bright Lights here. They hold several conferences in various locations each year. And as a side note,…

Make Every Day Special
Hey friends! I am so excited for this post, since this is a topic I find fun and fascinating. I know that this time of year especially (anyone else enduring gray skies and cold temps?), but really at any point in time, it’s easy to get bogged down in the everyday cycle. Whether it’s work or school or homemaking chores—sometimes we just lose the sparkle in life! Of course, there will be seasons where you simply survive (I’ve been through one of those recently with almost nonstop sickness), but I also believe that there is more to life overall than just getting through. Life is difficult but it can also…

He Knows
I’m a planner. I like to plan my day, my week, my year, my life… you get the idea! However, as some of you are probably thinking already, I have learned that life is not something you can neatly plan. And as time goes on, there are three words I say more and more often in my mind, “I don’t know.” That can be a scary, overwhelming place to be. But it is also a sweet place to be when you draw closer to the One Who knows all things. Today, I want to offer you comfort and encouragement in your life. I want to share with you what the…

His Story
As I wrote this poem, I pictured our lives represented by a story. I pictured God planning to write the story of your life and my life—planning the joys, the sorrows, the changes, the unexpected—and in love, penning a story that is not really any of ours. It’s His, for His glory. An Author wise prepared to write A story fresh and new, And never was a pencil grasped By Hand more kind and true. His eyes into the future looked, As only He could see, From the beginning to the end, This life that was to be. "I'll write of joy and answered prayer, Of treasured blessings great, Of…
