Sometimes the things you can't see help you see more clearly!
Our youth Sunday school class is going through John right now. As I was studying for our Sunday school lesson this week, I kept seeing comparisons with how the people were looking at John the Baptist and what they wanted from him and what they expected from him that matched how people look at us … Continue reading They are Looking to See Who You Are
Observe your ways! How often do we really take a step back and consider our “ways?” How often do we think about what we should be doing to move forward?
You know it is getting bad when your Pastor and the social media world gang up on you on the same day; and then you see a post from the @prayerwarrior that says, “God reveals things to you for a reason. Don’t ignore what He shows you.” So, this past Sunday my Pastor’s sermon was … Continue reading Trying to Look Toward Forgiveness
What's the story behind your nickname? My name is Elaine and my nick name was sort of caused because of my hair style. I have worn my hair in a short, soft, textured cut.

He was talking about the fruit of the Church as a whole and our fruit as … Continue reading Looks Like a Lemon, Feels Like a Lemon, But….
Don’t you just love good “before and after” photos? Whether it is a room makeover, a beauty makeover, or even a healthy lifestyle makeover, seeing something transformed from the drab, ordinary, every day into something fresh and new is fascinating to see. I do love before and after photos, especially my own! I’d worked really … Continue reading Witness the Greatest Before and After!
I have just begun the second week of a six-week Bible study on Galatians. The first week ended up with the challenge to write your "history" in Christ. (So, some of you already know which Bible study I am referring to... intense, time consuming, spirit consuming, reviving and refreshing.) I have actually spent a couple … Continue reading A Vision of Faith that Leads to Freedom
What does it look like to be a woman that is dependent on God?
