How do you keep from falling asleep when you pray in the morning?

  How do you keep from falling asleep when you pray in the morning? And how do you resist hitting the snooze button on your alarm clock? I want to be able to pray in the morning because I don’t have time at any other part of the day. Whether you are tween or twenty-something, a newly working woman or a seasoned mom, this question captures the daily struggle of most believers.  How do you find time to pray?  Moreover, how do you find time to do so when you can stay awake and concentrate on being present with the…

Put Your Eyes On Me.

Do you want the steady pace of routine and rest and refreshment, too? Yes, I long for steady routine.  Daily rest.  Constant refreshment. But I’m learning that racing through each day hoping for a slower tomorrow only puts off what God is willing to give me today. The Lord is showing me, with each passing moment, the rich blessings that come from carving out a routine of meeting with the Him in the morning, spending time in His Word, giving Him my day, and pausing long enough to listen to His still small voice.  It isn’t a long time.  Twenty…

How do you prioritize your time between God, people at home and school, academics, sports?

By

Balance is one of the toughest parts of being a teen. You feel pressure from all sides: parents wanting you to be invested in the family, teachers telling you to focus on your academics, coaches demanding dedication to sports or other extracurricular activities, and friends expecting you to “be there,” to provide support in the bad times and to join in on the good times. This is only compounded further for Christian teens, who are also being directed, by both the Bible and godly adults in their life, to spend one-on-one time with God, to spend time in community with…

Well say hello to Miss Insecurity!  I remember my first time recognizing that I was insecure in middle school.  Our classes were very small – mine was 21 students at its best.  Some girl friends of mine were talking about all the fun they had hanging out over the weekend, and I felt hurt for not having been included.  All of a sudden with that hurt came a swelling of emotion as I felt angry and bitter, and also confused, ” Why had they excluded me?  Wasn’t I good enough?”  Later that night, as I fought against the struggle to…

Irene.

Hurricane Irene. Irene means peace.   I beg to differ.  Hurricane Irene is everything its name is not.  The fury of chaos in the media and at the superstores has heightened emotions and rushed adrenalin.  Everyone is in a hurry to get ready for the unexpected damage and foiled plans for the end of August.  Unlike the other major hurricanes that have hit the East Coast, this one has given everyone time to prepare, especially those in the North East.  Batteries?  Check.  Non-perishables?  Check.  Evacuation bag ready?  Check. In the midst of this hurricane preparation, I can’t help but to think…
