A New Year of Change
Posted by: | CommentsUpon entering a new year I ponder on the prior year and remember the good and the bad but most importantly I try to examine whether or not I have grown spiritually over the last twelve months or have I stayed stagnant in my walk with God or worse digressed. I do this every year to remind myself that no matter how long I have been a born again Christian, I still have much to learn and new growth waiting to spring up in me if I would just allow God to continue to water and nurture my life with His living water.
The word “Change” has been coming up a lot lately and I believe that word is from God for me. Do you think that word may also be for you too? One day I was in the midst of prayer and I was praying my usual, “God help me in this particular area” prayer when I felt the Holy Spirit remind me of this scripture;
“And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this? They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.” Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be to you.” NKJV – Matthew 9:28-29.
When I remembered this passage, I immediately responded as the blind men did and said, “Of course I do God!” After some thought I realized God was asking me a rhetorical question and already knew the answer. He wanted me to see myself as I really am which is that I have abundant faith in certain areas but in the areas I struggle with, it is as if I have no faith at all. Yes faith that God can certainly heal or change others but for me, Nah…I will just have to struggle with this the rest of my life. Read More→

Tricia Goyer’s Time Management 101, Friends and Family
Posted by: | CommentsFrom author Tricia Goyer’s blog:
I get TONS of requests on info on how I do everything, so … I’m sharing a few Time Management tips for balancing family, hubby, life, job, friends, house, etc. Basically this is how I keep my sanity!
I’ll be sharing advice from my friends and a few things I’ve done that have WORKED…like this:
I realize the “life” doesn’t begin “after this deadline” or “this book release” or “when my books sell X number.” Life is happening today. So I can either live in a mess … setting myself up for failure, or live successfully. I chose the latter. I’m striving to live a sustainable life. I don’t want to burn myself out.
I’ve given myself permission to set a schedule that works for me. I use Microsoft Outlook, and I schedule in EVERYTHING. From waking up and having morning quiet time, to straightening the house, to making dinner, to working on a book proposal—it’s all on the calendar. READ the rest – CLICK HERE!

Book Review: Devotions for Families That Can’t Sit Still by Carolyn Williford
Posted by: | CommentsWhen you call your kids for family devotions, do they roll their eyes and say, “Boring….” ? Family devotions with your kids can easily become routine, repetitive, and unimaginative.
If you’ve been looking for a way to liven up family devotions with your kids, Devotions for Families That Can’t Sit Still by Carolyn Williford might help. This family devotional book will capture the imagination and creativity of your children, even if they have always been bored with that family time called “devotions.” Even your children who enjoy the reading, praying, and sharing type of devotionals will find this change in approach refreshing.
The action-packed devotional agenda would be too exhausting to use every night. Williford suggests having family devotions one night a week, making it a fun family time everyone can look forward to.
The devotions were written for kids ages 5 to 12 but they can easily be adapted to use with younger or older children. Even though they’re written as “family” devotions, these activities could be used for kids’ clubs or other children’s programs too. Read More→
