His Love Chases After You! 

If you have ever raised cattle or any form of livestock, you more than likely have hunted down and chased after a wondering stray! If you have had livestock, you may have not only chased a wandering stray, but you also had to go after a full blown runaway at full speed.  

I can see God doing just this in our lives!

I have wondered off the path so many times in my life. I have ran away at full speed, from God and His call on my life. God has always went after me. Sometimes God has just had to go after me with a little nudge or direction for me to get back on the path He had for me. There have been many times God has had to run after me at full speed and get ahead of me! He had to wave His arms in front of me to get me to stop and return to my path. 

Check out this video!  This has been me for sure lol


Psalm 23:6The Message (MSG)

6 Your beauty and love chase after me
    every day of my life.

I’m back home in the house of God

    for the rest of my life.
His BEAUTY and His LOVE chase after you!

Maybe it’s time we measure all things in our life with His kind of love!  
New International Version

“What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? 

Matthew 18:12
Are we chasing after the strays and pursuing them with Gods love?  Or are we driving them further away with our judgment and ridiculing?

Here is another thought for all the single ladies out there!  Do you SEE the Fathers Love?  He gave His only son to chase you down and make you His own!!!  So is that man your chasing after chasing you down with Gods love???? 
Are we chasing our loved ones down with Gods pursuing love?  Are we making sure they don’t wonder off the path with out being covered in prayer and unconditional love? 
Let’s love one another back into the Kingdom and family of God!!  

He’s still in the mending business and He is always pursuing you!!!

”Tis The Season of Change 


Change; oh boy a word that can bring excitement or fear. In my life change can bring both at the same time.

Over the years I have realized that if I am in charge of change I am happy go lucky and good to go. When God starts shifting things in my life or someone else makes a move that causes a big change well eeek is all I can say lol.


Most seasons of change in our life bring a change to relationships, jobs, positions and even locations. The hardest one for me has always been relationships. I have always thought friends should be a forever thing in our lives. Over the years God has had to show me that there are seasonal people in our lives.

God brings people in our lives for three reasons. One: they are here to speak into our lives and be used to propel us to the next place in God. Two: we are there to speak into their lives and be used to propel them to their next place in God. Three: They are and we are lifetime partners in their walk with God. Of course lifetimers are my favorite because less changes lol.

In my life when a season is changing and I feel that someone or something is no longer a lifetime fixture, I can get  a little crazy. That’s when I know my eyes are not on God who is always with me!  God who never changes!!  If we hold on to something or someone so tight that it’s holding us back, we can’t move on to that place and new season God wants just for us.

Sometimes it’s not us holding on as much as it is others trying to hold on to us so tight that we can’t move out. We each have to follow Christ example. NOT MY WILL GOD BUT YOURS. Rather you are the one holding on or being held onto!

Its also more than relationships, locations and positions we have a hard time changing seasons with… it’s also our mindsets. We have to be ready to change those hang ups, habits and ways of thinking to get to the next level.
As we are walking through a new season in our lives and letting go and being let go of, we know that this new season will bring so much with it!
For each of us to fulfill the promises, hopes and dreams of God we have to be ready for ‘Tis the Season of change. This will be a repeated season in our lives.

Holiday Recipe~Lu’s Candy Bark 

YAY we have a Featured #HolidayDessert #Recipe today…Candy Bark by Hannah Hogner AKA Lu


You will need: Candy canes (flavor of your choosing – I like the plain peppermint canes) 8 oz Almond Bark mix 8 oz semi sweet chocolate chips Holiday sprinkles Rolling Pin Parchment paper

Unwrap the candy canes and place a few in a zippered bag. For the amount of bark that we made, we used three candy canes.

The next step is really fun for kids. Have them smash the bark into small pieces using a rolling pin. When smashing the candy canes, be sure to leave some large chunks as well as smaller pieces.

 Place a piece of parchment paper onto a cookie sheet. Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave and pour into the parchment paper covered cookie sheet. Spread the chocolate in an even layer. It will not cover the entire pan. You just want to create a square or rectangle of chocolate.

Next, melt the white chocolate in the microwave. Pour it on top of the semi sweet chocolate. Spread it over the chocolate layer evenly until the chocolate layer is covered. Now it’s time to sprinkle the candy cane pieces on the bark. The kids had lots of fun with this step. We also added some festive holiday sprinkles to the bark. Press the candy cane pieces and sprinkles into the bark a bit so they will not fall out when it hardens. Then put the cookie sheet in the refrigerator so that the bark could harden. This took about an hour to completely harden. Once it hardens, you can remove it from the parchment paper and break it into chunks.
