My Testimony

Posted by Hallee on Jan 28, 2010 in Biblical womanhood, Christian Faith, Prayer, biblical manhood, holiness, inspiration

I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior at the ripe old age of 5. Some of you reading this may think that 5 is too young, but I knew the Truth, could answer all of the questions posed to me by my parents and my pastor, and so they determined that I would be allowed to make a public profession of faith, followed by a water baptism. I was so small that my feet flew up out of the water when the pastor dunked me. I’d love to say that my journey ended there. I’d love to say that I’ve been the epitome of the perfect Christian girl and that I lived every day in the subsequent 32 years for God. However, that’s not my story.

Thursday, January 28th, I will be participating with Heavenly Homemaker and sharing the story of my Christian path. I wanted to put the word out there to encourage you to share your story as well. I would love it if you could leave a comment with your testimony and let us all learn from each other, encourage each other, and inspire each other.

Laura at Heavenly Homemakers has offered us the opportunity to share what we’re thankful for in the last year. It’s supposed to be “Grati-TUESDAY” and today is Wednesday, but I was traveling yesterday and hadn’t written this ahead of time.

Wintertime Worship

Posted by Hallee on Dec 22, 2009 in Christian Faith, Family, holiness, inspiration

Sadly, our culture has shifted its focus to the dazzling lights and away from a dazzling Savior. Commercialism has swallowed whatever Christmas used to be before it was this. Battles are fought over the very name of the holiday, and Santa Claus is embraced more freely than the infant Jesus.1 Santa is an icon in modern culture, and his image is used to sell everything from soda to sports cars. How is a Christian to view Santa in light of the true meaning of Christmas?

Today is for love and friendship and family and good food and realizing everything for which we have to be Thankful. It is also about thanking the right Person.

Hallowing Halloween

Posted by Hallee on Oct 31, 2009 in Biblical womanhood, Christian Faith, biblical manhood, inspiration

On this last day of October, children in the US will be carrying bags filled with sweets. Thinking of them can remind us to ask: “What is filling the vessel of my life? Is it a bitter attitude that leads to foolish disputes and strife, or is it a sweet spirit that leads to righteousness, faith, love, and peace?”

Passion for the Word

Posted by Hallee on Oct 28, 2009 in Christian Faith, inspiration, missions

I have probably ten Bibles in my house. I don’t have to walk two miles to read one, and I wouldn’t have to walk barefoot for 25 miles to own one. But the question is: would I? Is my passion for God great enough that I would make those sacrifices just to receive His Word?

Some Sermons Are Timeless

A true wife makes a man’s life nobler, stronger, grander, by the omnipotence of her love, turning all the forces of manhood upward and heavenward.
