A Meditation
On December 4, 2024 by steadfastheartofgod“Behold our God, to whom we looked to save us!” Isaiah 25:9 Are we looking for God? Do we want Him to save us? Do we think we need saving? We will not look for that which we do not think we need, nor will we will look for that which we do not want/desire.
Stretch Our Your Hands
On September 24, 2024 by steadfastheartofgod“Truly, truly I say to you, when you were young, you fastened your own belt and walked where you would; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands and another will fasten your belt for you and carry you where you do not wish to go.” John 21:18 My father was diagnosed
Jesus Wept
On August 15, 2024 by steadfastheartofgodI just got back home from moving my oldest daughter into her college dorm. It really is amazing how we as mothers bear our children in our womb for 9 months, then we take care of them and raise them into adulthood, and before you know it they are gone. I really don’t want to
Merciful Patience
On July 27, 2024 by steadfastheartofgodThe Parable of Weeds among the Wheat24 He put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to someone who sowed good seed in his field; 25 but while everybody was asleep, an enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and then went away. 26 So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the
Blessed are the Meek
On July 14, 2024 by steadfastheartofgodBlessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Matthew 5:5 As I sat in the back of a full church at my son’s preschool teacher’s funeral, I couldn’t help but wonder what impact this incredible woman had on all of these souls.

I’m Thirsty
On April 28, 2024 by steadfastheartofgodThe past couple weeks my preschooler has been asking for a drink of water in a particular way.

On April 13, 2024 by steadfastheartofgodThe Lord has been teaching me a lot about fear lately. This has not been an academic or scientific teaching on fear, but more of a spiritual one. I have been faced a lot lately with both rational and irrational fears and I can tell you that it has been really hard to navigate what
Asleep in the Boat
On April 5, 2024 by steadfastheartofgodThere have been times in my life when all at once it seems that everything falls apart. During these times, as I work to get one thing “under control” something else ends up going wrong and it seems to never end. I can spend most of my time doing damage control all around me, putting
Jesus, Do Battle on My Behalf
On March 24, 2024 by steadfastheartofgodI love this time of year! The buds are beginning to sprout forth on the trees and flowers, bringing with them the new life that comes with spring. The weather is getting warmer and so it’s the time of year when I find any reason I can to be outside; picnics on the porch with
