So often, I want to rewind or fast forward my life, but today I just want to press “Pause.” I’ve reached a point in the last few days where I recognize the need and desire to slow down and organize the thoughts in my head. I had started a “Questions Jesus Asked” series on this … [Read more…]
What do you do when you have too many ideas and you don’t know how to organize them? I’m at that point as I try to establish a better flow in my daily routine. There are so many things I want to do on a daily or every other day basis, but it’s trying to … [Read more…]
I know I’ve written about my confirmation verse before, but recently it took on a whole new meaning which lifted me up during a difficult time. I experience seasonal affective disorder, which is waves of mild depression that come when the seasons change (Ironic for me because I love when we move from summer to fall!). … [Read more…]
I am learning in each of these questions that I come across that context is key. And isn’t that the case when we are asking a question or being asked a question? It’s helpful to know the topic being talked about and even more helpful if we know the person who is asking the question. … [Read more…]
Back to the QJA series, I have almost caught up on posts from my journaling. Today we will take a look at questions from Matthew 10 & 11.

Jesus Questioned About Fasting 14 Then John’s disciples came and asked him, “How is it that we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples do not fast?” 15 Jesus answered, “How can the guests of the bridegroom … [Read more…]
I’ve gotten off track with my “Questions Jesus Asked” series, but as you all know, life happens. Sometimes what gets us off track, is encouraging and at other times, it’s challenging. But almost all the time, God is teaching us something in the interruptions that arise. On Sunday morning, after a week of VBS, attending and presenting at … [Read more…]
I read these two chapters and was so excited to write a post at the end of last week and then life (and VBS happened). Thankfully, I am back to it today and ready to continue this discussion on the questions of Jesus with you! Jesus only asks one question in Chapter 8 and it’s in … [Read more…]
I read chapter 7 a couple of days ago, but I am just getting the chance to post, and I have to say, that Jesus’s questions in this section are in need of the context, otherwise they look like this: “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay … [Read more…]
