What the Angels Said
Angels are an intrinsic and dynamic part of the Christmas story. Christmas simply would not have occurred without these God-sent messengers from heaven. We don’t know if the angels were clothed in flowing, white robes, if they had a halo that sparkled, or even if they flew with wings into the Christmas scene. What we are assured of, however, is these angels carried the heart of God concerning the momentous event that was about to take place.
Let There Be Joy!
Oh my! Thanksgiving is next week … and then Christmas is just around the corner! As you know … I love Christmas! I take delight in celebrating this magnificent history-making event every day of the calendar year.
Faith, Hope, & Love
Ever since I was a little girl with blonde ringlets cascading down my back and sitting in Mrs. Dombrowski’s first grade classroom, I have loved words. I can’t exactly explain it … but at that inexperienced age of 6 years old … I knew that words held power.
Linger at the Altar
I intend to cross my finish line sweaty, not rusty, as I continue to teach the Word of God and encourage my generation with the joy of His presence. The goal of my life is to make hell smaller and heaven bigger. I will not be quiet; I will not pause and I will not be distracted from this call.
The Ripples of Christmas
It is October 1! Do you know what that means?! Let me explain …My name is Carol and I love Christmas more than chocolate … more than shopping … and more than the beach.
Live Today Like Your Life Matters…Because It Does!
We have all been created on purpose … with purpose … and for purpose. Why is it then that so few of us actually live in that sweet spot of God-given purpose? Why is it that we are content to settle for mediocrity, for half-a-life, for busyness rather than for usefulness?
Home Is Where Your Story Begins
I have a sweet, small decorative pillow that sits proudly on my guest bedroom bed. This darling stuffed piece of fabric announces winsomely, “Home is Where Your Story Begins!”.
Suffering Is Never for Nothing
If I am required to once again walk the lonely road of suffering and grief … I will walk it with joy knowing that it leads me to something extraordinarily good.
And She Lived Victoriously and Joyfully Ever After!
I never have had a better idea than God. Never. Not in over 6 decades of living have I found myself even one time to be as smart as or as wise as my Father.
Dis-Appointment
Rather than remaining in a place of penetrating disappointment, know that because of the power and love of God, nothing this side of heaven has the capacity to “dis”-appoint you. You have been eternally and unflinchingly appointed for His purposes and His plans.
What’s Your Addiction?
Addictions. We all have them. Some additions are healthy … some are benign … while others are devastatingly harmful. Have I lost you already? Let me explain.
A Note from Carol: One of the greatest joys of my ministry is celebrating voices that share God’s hope and truth with boldness and grace. Today, I’m honored to share the blog space with my dear friend, Niki Hardy.
