The Necessity of an Enemy

“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” — Jesus


Congratulations! Your Goliath Has Arrived.

Enemies often seem to get in the way of our plans, leaving us discouraged and disoriented. But what if these obstacles are a part of God’s plans for us?

Our enemies - whether our weaknesses, circumstances, deep-seated sins, other people, or any other challenge—can become our stepping stool to new breakthroughs in life, if we leverage the opportunity. Just as David’s encounter with Goliath transformed him from a delivery boy to a national hero, our enemies can be a blessing in disguise - if only we recognize and face them head-on.

I know Thanksgiving isn't even here yet, but I just couldn't resist putting up our little Christmas tree with the kids in the window seat in the kitchen.

Family Night at Marshall Primary School

We are off to Jonathan's school tonight, and will meet Melinda Long, author of the best selling children's book, How I Became a Pirate.

Family pictures

It was a beautiful day today, so I forced convinced my family we needed to take some pictures. We haven't had a family picture since Lily was born (and she's two now) so these were long overdue. Enjoy!

Going on our walk

She looked a little like an Eskimo (or maybe Don King), but she was toasty warm!
