Hope

By |August 2nd, 2021|Categories: Music|Tags: , , , , , , |Comments Off on Hope

Reading through the book of Psalms is quite sobering. David is as real as it gets between the honest struggles and sincere praises he shares with the Lord. Even though he knew he was doing the right thing by following after God, David was faced with challenges galore. His anguish was evident: “My heart pounds in my chest … Fear and trembling overwhelm me,” (Psalm 55:4-5 NLT) Yet, he maintained his hope in the unfailing love of the Lord: “O Lord, You alone are my hope. I’ve trusted You, O Lord, from childhood. Yes, You have been with me from

God Provides

I think we can all agree that we are faced with a situation that seems impossible every now and then. But nothing is too hard for our God.  During the exodus, the Israelites fled slavery and bondage from Egypt only to face the Red Sea. Millions of people stood with nowhere to go.  But God. He makes a way where there seems to be no way. God provides. Remember that dear Friend wherever you are today.  I recently heard this song “Isaiah Song” and I hope it encourages you as well: “Sing, sing, oh barren landWater is coming to the

Our children desperately want a dog. They have a name ready, they know where he will sleep, and where he will sit in the car. They are imagining that I will bring him home one day after work and that their neighborhood friends will love him. I hear about this dog almost daily. They promise to walk him, feed him, and play with him. It sounds like they will be taking excellent care of him and almost sounds like I won't have to lift a finger for this precious pup. Almost. Because of their insistence to "just look", I budged

Promise Keeper

By |July 19th, 2021|Categories: Misc.|Tags: , , , , , , |Comments Off on Promise Keeper

This past Saturday during our Bible study of 1 Samuel*, we were asked to share how God has delivered on a promise that He has given us. Immediately, I thought of the promise from Deuteronomy 31:6 in which God says He will never leave us nor forsake us. If I were to even begin to list the ways God has made that promise a reality, let’s just say the ladies in the session would be there for a loooooooooooooong time … you get the idea, right?  Yet, during the moment the question was asked, I had been battling feeling alone

Video: Unlock Your Marital Bliss

When Lance & I were first married, people would ask us "How's married life?"My response was, "It's hard" because it was hard. Thankfully, we've come a long way since then, and as much as I love being married to Lance, we would both still tell you, "It's hard ... but worth it." Lance & I had the opportunity to talk more about this with Dr. Shannan Crawford. She is a licensed clinical psychologist, conference speaker, adjunct professor, and innovator-expert in Restoring Self-Cohesion (RSC). You will love her energy and expertise! I hope you enjoy the conversation! ~ Anu https://youtu.be/iJwhTnu4uI8

No Regrets

These past few months have been a whirlwind of activity in our parts, but all good things. In addition to attending two wedding celebrations in our family, we traveled for three trips. We relaxed, visited great sights, had good eats, and spent quality time with many loved ones. Overall, it just seems like we have accumulated a lifetime of memories in just a matter of months. I have no other words except to say that I’m grateful. You see, there’s one saying that has stayed with me since 2020: no regrets. Without a doubt, it was a year of witnessing

Our second date was at Lakewood Church for their Wednesday night worship service. Somehow, early on, he knew the way to my heart. Having grown up going to church every week, I couldn't say no when he invited me. But, he wasn't asking me there to impress me. He was being intentional. In this season of praying for a wife, taking me to church was important to him. Fast forward 13 years....guess where we were last night: Wednesday night service at our home church. There's no doubt that God brought my husband into my life. No question. But, there is

Don’t Make It Easy

Last week marked the 3 year anniversary of me consistently going to the gym.   While that may not seem like a big deal to you, it is a HUGE deal to me.  You see for years I had a gym membership where I paid a small monthly fee, but I rarely went.  But even so, I had a hard time cancelling it because it was much cheaper than any other gym around me. But after years of paying and not really using it, I finally made the decision to cancel it.   Fast forward a few years ago when I made
