Uplifting & Encouraging

God’s Speaking, Am I Listening?

by

Annie Nance – In 2007 I was working at a radio station in Madison, WI. The network was doing some “downsizing”, and it was pretty stressful. The workload was increasing, was having trouble with my (then) 19-year-old and our church was experiencing some major spiritual warfare. In October of that year, I had to drive up to […]

Old Pictures

by

  Peace Family one of the joys of holidays is going through old photos and remembering. Once you stop laughing at this one, I will tell you it’s my 2nd Grade picture. I was 8 years old. It wasn’t pretty…I was losing baby teeth, forgot my socks that day and my mom pulled my hair […]

The Joy of Missing Out

by

From a young age most of us have what is called a Fear Of Missing Out or FOMO.  When we’re young we yearn to be older and when we’re single we yearn to be married and on and on it goes. Now that we are in this tech-dependent world it’s hard not to check your […]

How To Share The Good News

by

Peace family, if someone you love needs to hear how to have a friendship with God, or you’d like to know for yourself, a good way to remember is A, B, C: A- Accept that we are all sinners. This is easy to see when we think about all of the bad things in the […]

Ending Jealousy

by

Peace Family, do you need freedom from jealousy and envy?  I was recently inspired by my friend LaShunda Mitchell of Grind4God Ministries. She wasn’t speaking to me when she said, “jealousy ends where love begins,” but it was absolutely what I needed to hear. We all have people whom we envy, or life situations that […]

Christ, Our Personal Victor

by

Peace Family, haven’t we all sometimes wished for a “reset” button in our lives? Is it ever easier to think of Christ as a victor over the grave, than of your own struggles? As we step into a fresh, new spring having celebrated the fact that Christ is alive, risen from the dead, and a […]

The Best of Us

by

Peace Family, does God deserve the best of us? The immediate answer is, “Yes, of course,” but we often don’t live that way. The temptation is to think to ourselves, “Haven’t I given enough of my time, talents, and resources to God? Hasn’t he asked enough of us? Don’t I have the right to keep […]

Finding Comfort At Christmas

by

Peace family, Christmas is a time of joy, but I’ve had a lot of pain at and around Christmas from different events during the last several years. If you are struggling this Christmas, I want you to know that you are not alone. As believers in Christ, we can still feel the deep joy that […]

God With Us

by

Peace family, one of the things that I love about Christmas, is the prevalence of nativity scenes. Although they all might look different, they carry the same beautiful message of encouragement. I’ve seen the Holy Family imagined as all kinds of people: dark-skinned, blonde, Andean (complete with llamas in the stable), and even Thai. Growing […]

Trying Not to Worry

by

Peace family, do you ever find yourself anxious? For some reason, the last several days, I have been feeling nervous or anxious, but as far as I know, there isn’t anything specific that I am actively worrying about. I have had several stressful dreams, and have woken up almost every hour for several hours in […]

A Taco Testimony

by

Peace family, do you ever feel completely overwhelmed, and then something special happens that completely transforms your day? Today has been one of those days! I was feeling really discouraged this morning. I have a lot of things on my plate right now, and a lot of work that I have to do today, plus […]

Healing Is Worth The Pain

by

Peace family, I’ve been fostering some teacup chihuahuas, and it has been a great reminder that working towards healing is worth it, even though it’s hard. These dogs came from a hoarding situation (the house had a total of 49 dogs, mainly chihuahuas) and they have several issues because of it. They are very cute […]

Yom Kippur, The Day of Atonement

by

Peace Family, when was the last time that you had the chance to do an inventory of your life and heart? From sunset tonight through sunset tomorrow, Jewish people everywhere will observe Yom Kippur, a day of fasting and a time to examine the year gone by. Yom Kippur means “Day of Atonement,” and it’s […]

The Greatness of God and Longing For Significance

by

Peace family, over the weekend, I visited NASA and as always, I felt inspired, but also a little sad. As a child, I dreamed of becoming an astronaut. My brother and I went to space camp, and we loved it. Unfortunately, around 6th grade, I lost all confidence in my mathematical abilities, so engineering was […]
