How might our present lives take on new meaning if we think […] http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/pushed-to-the-edge-by-christmas-6761 2012-12-11T09:59:27-05:00 Only your relationship with Jesus Christ will last forever. It may take some courage, some discipline, some hard choices, but Jesus Christ must once again be crowned the King of your schedule. And your time with Him? The base non-negotiable of your personal schedule. He's saying, "I want My time with you." http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/the-two-word-tranquilizer-6597 2012-04-24T10:25:13-05:00 I can avoid so much frustration if I allow the God of heaven to be the Lord of my almighty, untouchable schedule. And I do that with two words, "Lord willing" spoken or unspoken, but consciously recognizing the sovereignty of Almighty God. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/when-you-know-the-final-score-6542 2012-02-07T14:18:30-05:00 Live expectantly! The battle is not yours; it is God's. You can be more than conqueror, and He says it's in the middle of life's most intense moments. After all, you're sitting back watching how God is going to win this one, because you know the final score, and your Father will decide the outcome. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/running-ahead-of-your-supply-lines-6518 2012-01-04T10:53:45-05:00 When worry comes, get the hook, get it off center stage, and don't run ahead of your supply lines by worrying into tomorrow. Remember, your Father has everything under control! http://truewoman.com/?id=1088 2010-09-08T12:30:09-05:00 I’d been having a really bad day. You know, the kind of day where everything that possibly can go wrong, does. My toddler had thrown one too many fits, my baby needed a little too much of my attention, lunch was burning on the stove, and my house looked like a toy bomb had gone off . . . http://truewoman.com/?id=1101 2010-09-08T12:17:33-05:00 Not only is this birthday a reminder that I’m no spring chicken, it also has me wondering where the dancing has gone. Life has a way of taking the dance right out of our hearts. Age seems to inevitably usher stress, sadness, fear, and anxiety into our lives and those carefree days of baby bouncing fade quickly away. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/taking-back-what-the-enemy-stole-6029 2010-02-18T09:46:45-05:00 The enemy may have his hand on something or someone right now he has no right to. It's time for you to follow General Jesus into the battle to take back what the enemy has stolen! http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/the-only-impression-that-matters-5982 2009-12-15T09:13:50-05:00 There's something very wrong if you're using Jesus to make a name for yourself or to impress other people with you. You are actually hijacking His glory. And there's something wrong if you're not telling people about Jesus because of something about you. It's not who's doing the telling that's the issue; it's who you're telling about - the One who offers the greatest love in the world. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians%204:6-7&version=NIV 2009-10-08T13:52:39-05:00 We're all familiar with stress and anxiety--they're part of everyday life, and we're always on the lookout for ways to reduce them. The Bible has a startingly simple solution for anxiety: trust in God, and find your anxiety replaced by a spiritual peace beyond anything you've experienced.
