  • True Healing & Prayer

    True healing takes place with God’s help. Our family has been thru so much these past few years and without a doubt we know God heals. God is with us. God is good. God loves us. God doesn’t leave us.

    We have intentionally asked God to guide us thru healing processes over and over and we’ve continued to make it thru. It’s not easy but we are still here and still looking up.

    Prayer is our go-to every single time pain happens to us. When pain occurs…we pray. When we feel fear…we pray. When times are tuff…we pray.

    Our family understands the power of PRAYER because we’ve seen first hand how it works when seemingly nothing else can.

    Prayer leads to true healing.

  • God is Good

    God has been with my wife this past week making major legal decisions about past trauma. Someone hurt her for many years as a minor and she’s been so courageous holding him accountable. Every step of the way this past year she and I have prayed about every single detail. We’ve trusted God to guide us and give us wisdom. My wife has prayed for courage and strength and I’ve prayed the same for her.

    God has given her a tremendous amount of support and a wonderful team of prosecutors and investigators to have her back and show her she’s not alone.

    I truly believe she could not have made it this far without God. Prayer works.

    Praying has reinforced every decision and provided strength to each word and action she’s had to make.

    God is good.

  • Grace and Gratitude

    This painting was in my Grandparents house as a kid and I loved it. It means so much to me.


    I wanted to understand the background of it and I found out it’s called “Grace”. It was originally a photo taken by Swedish-American photographer Eric Enstrom then became an oil painting then color added by his Daughter later. All of this began around 1918 during WW1 and was meant to show gratitude.

    This piece of artwork was and is meant to say we still have so much to be thankful for.

    We need to Thank God today and give thanks for all He has done so far in our lives.

  • Strength to the Weary

    “He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.”

    – Isaiah 40:29

  • To be a Christian without Prayer…

    “To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing.”

    — Martin Luther King Jr.‍

  • The Armor of God

    The Armor of God

    “10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

    18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.“

    – Ephesians 6: 10-18 NIV

  • Prayer Releases God’s Purpose

    I found this quote online it’s beautifully said:

    “Prayer really does things. It cannot change God’s intention, but it does change God’s action. God had long intended Isaiah to be his prophet. When Isaiah said, ‘Here am I, send me,’ he did not alter in the least the divine purpose, but he did release it. God could do then what before he could not.”

    — Harry Emerson Fosdick, founding minister of Riverside Church

  • Approach God with Freedom & Confidence

    “In Him and through faith in Him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.”

    – Ephesians 3:12

  • Pray at the Beginning of Your Day

    “In the pure, strong hours of the morning, when the soul of the day is at its best, lean upon the window sill of God and look into his face, and get the orders for the day. Then go out into the day with the sense of a hand upon your shoulder and not a chip.”

    — E. Stanley Jones, Missionary and Theologian
