Last week I shared about something that happened almost 20 years ago that rocked my walk with God and my husband’s, as well. The change that God did through it eventually rippled out into every part of our lives. Today I’m going to talk about a principle that will not only rock our lives personally but will lay the foundation for understanding and obeying the other principles we find in God’s Word.
Almost 20 years ago, something happened that rocked my walk with God. He had been prodding my husband and I to get more involved in our church. You see we had been wounded a few years before and we were leaving behind one of those “we’ll-just-go-to-church-and-leave-right-afterward” seasons. Maybe you’ve had one. As you may have learned, God is never content to leave us there.
Today’s Featured Post is one I hope everyone will read and consider prayerfully. In it I ask the question, “Are we as committed to our faith and it’s spread as our Muslim Neighbors?”
Have you thought about reading through the Bible, maybe know you should, but keep saying, “Maybe next year”? Here is a 15-day catch-up plan so you can make this year your year!

35 Lessons I’ve Learned in 35 Years of Marriage [+ Newsletter]
Marriage is hard. It takes work. It takes staying committed in a world that says, “If I’m not happy, I’m outta here.” Yet, none of us marries with the idea that it won’t last. We get married thinking our relationship will be different. We’re in love and plan to live happily ever after. That lasts about a week-and-a-half.
Instead, marriage is like God’s sandpaper. It exposes our basic selfishness and all our rough edges. But if we let God teach us where we need to grow and change … if we learn to forgive … if we learn what it means to give grace to one another … if we stay committed through the good times and the bad, marriage can be one of God’s greatest gifts.
