Years ago, when I had an appointment to go to that I was dreading, the Lord gave me a Scripture that encourages me to this day. It’s Psalm 71:16 (NKJV), which says, “I will go in the strength of the Lord God.” I’ve discovered that when I declare this verse, […]

“God’s Plan and Purposes for You” by J.M. Farro
Romans 8:28 is one of the most quoted and most beloved verses in all of Scripture, with good reason. It is God’s promise to His devoted ones that He will cause everything—even every hurt and heartache—to profit them somehow. It reads: “And we know that God causes all things to […]
“It’s Been… Educational!” by John DiBiase
It’s been an interesting past couple of weeks as we continue to adjust to life as new parents. Or, as Marty McFly might say, “It’s been… educational!” We’ve recently had a Valentine’s Day day trip to dinner and a movie, a pediatrician check-up visit (he’s just over 16 lbs now […]
“God’s Warning and Rewards” by J.M. Farro
If it seems like I talk about the Word of God a lot in my writing, there’s a very good reason for that. The Word has changed my life, my family, and our circumstances, and I am determined to believe it, and to devote myself to it, all the rest […]

“Believing God for Rich Rewards” by J.M. Farro
During my quiet time with the Lord recently, He impressed upon my heart that I was unnecessarily losing out on some of the rewards He had for me. When I asked Him how I was doing that, He led me to Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV), which says: “But without faith it […]
“The Learning Process” by Stacie Vining
I’m new to blogging. So an advance “I’m Sorry” if I ramble on, or don’t make sense in a sentence or two. I have to write for my work-living, but blogging is just different. But the good part? I am mom to an amazing 6 yr old, so getting the […]
“The Art of Distraction” by John DiBiase
So, I’m well into the swing of baby daddy duty (AKA I’m Mr. Mom now). Thankfully, Will’s grandma (also known as my wonderful and gracious mother) has been helping me out with Will on the days Amy is back at the hospital as an operating room nurse. Amy’s still breast […]
“Top 10 Worst Baby Bathtime Moments” by Amy DiBiase
