Do It As Unto the Lord
Something to remember when I grow frustrated with work or bored with the normal routine of life… I’m not doing this for me or for praise from those around me, I’m doing it to honor my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
In Him,

Have a Blessed 2015!
Last year brought with it so many hopes and dreams. Some were fulfilled, others were forgotten almost the moment after they crossed my mind. A few I knew weren’t gonna happen, even as I wrote them down. I see you baby weight from nineteen years ago. And don’t think I didn’t notice that you brought a long a few friends… But that is in the past.
Today we begin anew…
I look forward to all that 2015 will bring: professional growth for The Hubs, a move to a new state, and independence for my babies young adults. As we go into 2015, I invite you to join me as I walk in the knowledge that God:
- will supply our needs according to His riches ~ Philippians 4:19
- give salvation to those who believe in Jesus ~ Mark 16:16
- grant eternal life to all believers ~ John 10:27-28
Praying blessings, grace, and love to you and your family,

Merry Christmas from My Family to Yours
Proof of God’s love for us is that He sacrificed His son for us so that we may have eternal life {John 3:16}. To accept His gift, all you have to do is believe.
May the love of Christ be with you,

Coffee Talk: Bible Study Suggestions and Squeekerz
I’d like to welcome you to Coffee Talk. In case you’re new here, this is where I share some of the great and not~so~great stuff that I find on the web. Topics range from news stories that leave me scratchin’ my head to DIYs that I think are absolutely clever. And, who knows, there may even be a recipe thrown in here or there just for fun.
So grab a cup of coffee {or tea or whatever floats your boat} and let’s talk…
Last week, I asked for questions and I received two:
- Could I suggest some bible studies
- Can I show Squeekerz
Well, here’s a list of the bible studies that I talked about in the video:
- Women’s Bible Cafe ~ nondenominational bible study group for women. They also offer monthly online book groups.
- Bible Gateway ~ hosting a bible study called “How to Understand the Bible”. There are also reading plans.
- She Reads Truth ~ they offer a variety of devotionals and bible study plans.
- True Woman ~ teachings on the biblical principals of womanhood
And for all things Squeekerz, click here and here.
I decided to make this a little bit more interactive. Do you have questions for me? If so, leave them in the comments below and we’ll talk about them next Thursday.

All You Have to do is Believe
I love that commercial where the three ladies are talking and the one has hung pictures all over her wall and other friend points to them and says, “I like that one” and the other friend looks bewildered and says, “That’s not how it works. That’s not how any of this works.” It seriously cracks me up every time I see it on TV. I think because it shows a basic truth about human nature: sometimes we make things more complicated than they have to be.
I’ve heard people say they’ll accept Christ after they fix this or that in their lives or that they’re going to Heaven because they’re basically good people. Well, that’s not how it works. That’s not how any of this works. First and foremost, we can’t “fix” ourselves. Nor does God want us to. If we could, then the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ wouldn’t have been necessary. The fact is that God loves us despite our flaws {Romans 5:8} and because of that love He sent His son that we may have eternal life through faith in Him {John 3:16}.
And just as we can’t fix ourselves, we can’t “buy” our way in either {Romans 6:23 and Titus 3:5}. God doesn’t have a set number of good deeds you have to perform in order to make it to Heaven; eternal life is a gift that has been given freely to us by a loving and merciful God. All you have to do is believe…

Go and Speak without Fear
God does not send us out unequipped. He prepares us and protects us {that doesn’t mean it’s going to be easy, that just means that The Word will be heard}, so we need to surrender our hearts and our lives to Him. No excuses.
