Pizza Ranch Serves

In the last month, my family and I have had the opportunity to see so much beauty in this country. We’ve seen fields, hills, valleys, trees, rivers, lakes, mountains, sunsets, and sunrises. I’m thankful to be someone who sees God in all of it. The mornings seem to be my favorite because it’s more of the quiet part of the day for me. The older I get, the earlier I get up simply to enjoy my time alone with God and my cup of coffee.

Surrendering your life to Jesus plans has always felt a little scary to me. What will he ask of me? Will I have to give up things? What if I don't like the direction he tells me to go? Recently I read a book that challenged me and reminded me of a few key things that helped put my mind at ease.

It's always great when community organizations come together and do something to celebrate individuals within their community and state. If you head to the Lisbon, ND Pizza Ranch you'll find a TV playing more than just sports or news.

God gives us signs telling us which way to go. So often we want the directions to be something as clear as a large neon sign that grabs our attention and spells out exactly what we should do. I've never yet had God show up in a physical written sign. But I have felt strong convictions that left me with a very clear directive on what he desired.

What says summer more than an afternoon at the pool? Summer break for my kids and many others is more than 1/2 over already. Have you been to the pool yet? Or if the pool isn't your families favorite past-time, have you made time to enjoy some time with your family during this summer break?

God orchestrates his will through our normal day activities without us even being aware that he’s working on something.

Sometimes it amazes me that God loves us enough to let us humans choose our own path.

We all have off days sometimes when things don’t go as planned, or something major or minor throws us off. Some seasons of life can be tricky – transitioning to a new job, a death in the family or the adjustment to a new baby in the house.

In keeping with the theme of the 4th of July this week, let’s spend a minute talking about the freedom we find in Jesus.

Happy 4th of July! Today our country turns 246 years old.

Encouragement in our lives, and the lives of others, can be life changing. In a world that can be difficult to navigate at times, hopefully this will inspire all of us.

Continuing with Genesis 22: verse 1-19. The other part that really sticks out in this story is that fact that Isaac’s father Abraham was a lot older than he was and was probably a lot weaker.
