July 9th, The Day After

On July 9, 2021July 7, 2021 By Broken and Gracefully Loved2 Comments

Timing is everything, right? I’m not so sure. You see, the day after my oldest son Stephen died, I woke up screaming. I was living a nightmare and, at the same time, waking up to my youngest son’s birthday. This would be Scott’s first birthday without his big brother physically present. And, from that year …

Grace: A Free Gift!

On May 18, 2021May 17, 2021 By Broken and Gracefully LovedLeave a comment

Imagine if you loved to cook. This is quite honestly a difficult concept for me because my husband does all of the cooking.  I do not remember the last time I made a dinner at my home. Anyway, that is not the point of this piece. So let's get back to my idea: You love …

Grace: He Meets Us in the Mess

On May 11, 2021May 11, 2021 By Broken and Gracefully Loved1 Comment

I looked out my kitchen window to see my fourteen year old son on the mower, with his Dad pushing from behind with all of his might. At the time we’d had a lot of rain here in Texas. The sudden influx of moisture had made everything lush and green and oh, so beautiful. But …

Obedience: People-Pleaser or God-Pleaser?

On April 29, 2021April 28, 2021 By Broken and Gracefully LovedLeave a comment

We (Steph & Jill) decided to team up on this post after a conversation we had on Obedience.  Both of us remember growing up trying to please our parents and teachers.  We wanted to make them proud and to be happy with the choices we were making. Can you relate? As adults, I’m sure all …

Obedience – I Failed

On April 20, 2021April 19, 2021 By Broken and Gracefully LovedLeave a comment

This month’s theme, Obedience, couldn’t come at a more timely, opportune moment in my life. I’m behind on my devotionals, lacking in daily prayer, and feeling like I’m on a roller coaster of emotions. When I think about what I’m feeling, it seems like my current lack of discipline in my obedience to Him connects …

Obedience…YUCK!

On April 6, 2021April 5, 2021 By Broken and Gracefully LovedLeave a comment

When I think of the word Obedience, I associate it with a negative connotation. Who wants to be told what to do? I am pretty stubborn and that is not my groove. However, when I think about obedience toward God, for some reason I don’t see this word as negative. I see it as quite …

April’s Theme: Obedience

On April 1, 2021March 29, 2021 By Broken and Gracefully LovedLeave a comment

What does it mean to be obedient? The Oxford Dictionary says obedience is “complying or willing to comply with orders or requests; submissive to another's will.” What if we lived a life of complete submission to the will of our Heavenly Father? Can we even imagine what that kind of obedience might look like? What …

Prayer: Your Faith Has Healed You…

On March 30, 2021March 29, 2021 By Broken and Gracefully LovedLeave a comment

When thinking about what I wanted to say on the theme Prayer for this month, I felt like I was having writer’s block.  So, I prayed and asked God for guidance, but still felt like I wasn’t sure which direction He wanted me to take. Then the other day I decided to listen to one …

Prayer: Why Pray?

On March 25, 2021March 24, 2021 By Broken and Gracefully LovedLeave a comment

"Hi God, I know it's late. I really did want to take a quiet moment with you today and not just the help or thanks mentions I did in passing but I failed AGAIN. Thank you, God, for today and, well, for everything. Help me honor you better tomorrow. Please bless my family with greater faith …

Prayer: If You Had 3 Wishes…

On March 16, 2021March 15, 2021 By Broken and Gracefully LovedLeave a comment

When I was a child I enjoyed watching Disney movies. One of my favorites was “Aladdin.” I loved the idea of having 3 wishes. I would dream about what those wishes would be. Of course, I often toyed with the taboo wish...Wish number 3: Give me a hundred more wishes. As I began to pray …

Do nothing out of selfish ambition…
I thank my God for you…

To know this love that surpasses all knowledge…
When you believed, you were marked in Him with a seal…

Romans 5:3-5

“Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.  And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.” (NIV)
