I've heard this verse, Nehemiah 8:10, many times but have never read the context around it. In Nehemiah 8:1-9 the people gathered as Ezra read God's word. The word was presented so that the people could understand it - they were hungry to hear it and...
There aren't many things we need in life. Jesus. Water. Food. Worship music - Bethel specifically. I exaggerate. But, really - if you aren't familiar with Bethel music or haven't heard their new CD, You Make Me Brave, I highly recommend it. I foresee sharing every song on the...
After talking about it for awhile and baptism being on our hearts for months now, Colby and I got baptized this past weekend. It was a sweet time and full of significance! Even though we have both been believers for awhile now, we were finally able...

It's a little crazy that this is the third Mother's Day that has passed that I have desired to be a mom, but am still waiting to be. A lot of girls in my same situation dread this day. Last year, for Mothers Day I...
