Blessings Beyond Measure
As I sit here and watch our wedding video again, I think of all the amazing things that have happened in the last several years and I am overwhelmed and, no shocker, tears have been running down my face. Our Almighty Heavenly Father is keeping His promises in ways, and to depths, not that long

Waiting … patiently?
It’s been a few weeks since I posted. The roller coaster has kept me “thought-less.” There is so much going on and so much where there is no movement I haven’t made the time to sit and reflect on who God is; who is in charge of our lives and what that means for the

Intimacy
I state on our home page that this is Lynn’s and my blog. I believe that despite the fact that I do the writing and she probably never will. She is, however, inextricably entwined in everything I write. The words are mine but the reality of it all is ours. Until now. I’m still writing

Lifestyle Boundaries
The men currently working through the 7 Pillars of Freedom workbook with me and the women working through the Betrayal & Beyond process with Lynn have both come to the time of writing boundary documents, Recovery Action Plans and Relapse Prevention Plans. I find it interesting that the programs are independent of each other in

Abundance
As Lynn and I were doing our Psalms devotional last night (Dr. Tim Keller’s Book) God did what He is so good about doing for me – He gave me dual confirmation of something important I’m supposed to “get.” We were in the April 2nd devotional which is Psalm 49, verses 9-16. Psalm 49 is

Worship As Warfare
I got a little jolt in my understanding this week as I sat in “worship” on Sunday. Believe me, I won’t do justice to the topic here so if you want to get your own jolt, assuming this isn’t something you’re already aware of, you can see the sermon here. I’ve always known, well, heard

Wait on God
Taken from YouVersion.com devotional by A. W. Tozer from his book “The Pursuit of God.” I was in awe and simply had to share this. Pastor Tozer lived 1897 – 1963. I think the devotional speaks for itself. Enjoy. It is important that we get still to wait on God. And it is best that

Holiness and Trust
I have had trouble this week finding a topic on which to write. Many good things happened this week, good interactions with Lynn, my groups and my family. But nothing was shouting at me to be written about. In part it’s more ‘things’ going on in my life; more ‘things’ needing attention; more ‘things’ –

Brokenness & Natural Consequences
There is an old saying that it isn’t until you’ve been knocked flat on your back with nowhere else to look, that you are finally able to look up and see God. It is my sincere belief based on my personal journey, that without real, enforced consequences your healing journey will be slower; possibly hindered
