God Is Bigger Than A Juice Box . .

When I first became a mom, my number one goal apart from keeping my child alive was SLEEP. It's all I could think about. It became more important than eating or pretty much anything else. SLEEP was the goal. Then when I popped out another child and started to manage two little hearts and minds and wild hands and bodies, my goal was to get some QUIET time. I just needed QUIET. Then came baby #3 and believe it or not, I started to get the hang of getting all the SLEEP and all the quiet. . . Listen in as Becca shares her "God is begged than a juice box story!"

Do you ever experience those times or seasons in your life where you wrestle with the need for change?

Most of us know there are things in our lives that could helpfully change, But many of us don’t have a Jesus-centered model for working that change through. All too often, even as Christians, we simply try to work on our behavior without looking at what is going on in our hearts. Listen in as we unpack a biblical view of what that looks like.

Following Jesus doesn’t guarantee sunny skies and smooth sailing. In fact, the waters of life are often tumultuous, crashing over us. Sometimes we can feel we’re drowning in a sea of confusion, division, frustration, complacency, or disillusionment. We need more than a shallow faith to survive these deep waters.

A Life Rescued: A story of Redemption, Adoption and Hope

Here’s a message from Kim:

Hi I’m Kim Mishler. I was Southern born and raised and transplanted to Northern Indiana’s Amish Country after meeting my husband. Life is good…and interesting! I’m convinced we are all afflicted with the “human condition” and because of that crazy things can happen!

And as I approach my Vintage Years I have lots of “flare ups”! And the best medicine for these flare ups is laughter!

If you can identify with life’s awkward moments and find the humor in them then you and I can be best of friends! That is, if I can remember you!
