Whale Tale

By Amy Kersey | January 14, 2019

I recently started school. I ought to be giving the best hours of my day to this new, exciting adventure. I will, just not today. You see, a new day has dawned. My kids are prayerfully safe in their classrooms, their books and their minds being opened. There is still laundry to be done, calories…

Abba Father

By Amy Kersey | December 20, 2018

In writing this blog, I thought a lot of my childhood. I was reminded that it’s human nature to associate the roles our earthly fathers played to sort of a man-made God realm. In trying to grasp concepts of God that our minds cannot really fathom, we associate irreconcilable things to realities that we can…

The Path Toward Your Promise

By Amy Kersey | December 7, 2018

1 Corinthians 10:13, HCSBNo temptation has overtaken you except what is common to humanity. God is faithful, and He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation He will also provide a way of escape so that you are able to bear it. “Then Jesus was led…

Identity Loss

By Amy Kersey | November 21, 2018

Reckless Love I keep having dreams that I’ve lost my children. They are with me one brief moment and the next, they are gone. This catastrophe is usually a result of one bad choice I made, one small oversight. Utter panic ensues and I become frantic. I never find them. I wake up feeling desperate…

My Journey Through Transitional Loss

By Amy Kersey | November 6, 2018

              There is an image circulating the internet, “Military kids will have to say goodbye to more significant people by age 18 than the average person has to in their entire life time” – source unknown. Ouch! That pains me so much for my kids. Honestly, it even sort of grieves my heart. For example,…

-Wage War by Bringing the Darkness of Pornography into the Light.   “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” – John 1:5 (NIV) For those of you that couldn’t make it to our Koinonia event, we discussed the challenging topic of pornography. At the gathering I referenced an extremely…

Lessons in Kite Flying

By Amy Kersey | August 2, 2018

I am intrigued by newness of God’s mercies every morning. I reflect on the mishaps of  yesterday and instead of learning to fly a kite, I am the kite, tossed about by the wind. When a gust lifts me up enough to initiate flight, I fall forward hard, tumbling, bruised.  But there is forward motion.…

One Thing is Needful

By Amy Kersey | August 2, 2018

I have a tenderhearted son. He has a zealous spirit and excitement for life but he also has an appreciation for a warm hug and a good snuggle. He really nestles in. I am talking arms pressed inward, shoulders down, burrowed into your bosom, head on the shoulder kind of snuggle. The good stuff us…

Underdogs

By Amy Kersey | August 2, 2018

There is just something inspiring about an underdog story. There is a unique, perhaps je ne sais quoi in a story that has absolutely no logical or reasonable explanation for an underdog win. I have always loved those kinds of stories, but recently I realized why. I am the underdog. Bear with me, I am…

Crushing Him With Your Words

By Amy Kersey | August 1, 2018

God often wakes me up. That says a lot because I often go to bed quite exhausted.  I awaken frequently with a specific word from the Lord.  I have decided that if He will take the time to abruptly awaken me, then perhaps I should take the time to write down the spoken word. I…
