Have you ever prayed about something, needing to know, “Lord, Should I do this or that?” Then you wondered how you could really know what God’s will was?
Since God doesn’t speak audibly to us, it can feel frustrating to know His answer…until we learn how He answers us.
Have you ever thought about the fact that everything you put in front of your eyes is discipling you? Yes, your Facebook or Instagram feed, the books you read, the things you watch, and also the people with whom you spend your time are all instructing or training you in some way.
Fresh cherries are in season and I’ve been buying a bag each week at Aldi. They’re so good in everything from yogurt to fruit cups or my favorite cherry dessert – individual berry cobblers. Yum! The Individual Berry Cobblers (which are essentially quick, personal-sized fruit crisps) feature a warm, jammy berry base topped with a sweet, buttery oatmeal crumble. You can easily scale this recipe to make exactly as many servings as you need.
Influencers are everywhere on social media. They make it their business to sell others whatever they love. But I’m thinking there’s another kind of influencer that Christians must be.
Each week at The Wilds I watch young men counselors and operational summer staff flock around my husband. They call his name from a distance and then they come to share their heart that might be full of joy, or it may be a heavy burden for which they’re seeking counsel and prayer. Dale will stop and listen, share wisdom, and pray with them. Then before they leave, they give him a huge bear hug. It warms my heart and I smile as I watch him pour his life into theirs. He’s influencing them to love the Christ he loves.
When you love a cookie, you want to keep honing in on the best recipe out there. My favorite is a thick, chewy chocolate chip cookie, soft in the center and full of chocolate chips! The Nestle recipe is good, but I’ve found one that tops it!
I’ve shared some great recipes on my blog, but I must say the recipe I found recently is even better!
