Fishing

It’s a beautiful sunny morning here in central Arkansas, and I woke up with fishing on my mind. I love to fish. I always have. My Daddy took me fishing once I was big enough to hold a pole. We had a favorite creek bank that we snuck off to anytime my mama wasn’t paying […]
Surrendering My Public-Private Time

My name is Aubree Nelson, and if you’re reading this, you may recognize me as the daughter of Ashley Nelson (the founder of Mentoring Movement). However, as wonderful as it is to be the daughter of Ashley Nelson, it’s so much greater to be known as a daughter of the one true God. My Father […]
Finding Confidence in Uncertain Times: Reflections on Hebrews 13:6

In the everyday ins and outs of living, it’s easy to find ourselves contending with uncertainty and fear. Despite the reassurance found in scripture, there are moments when doubts take hold, and we question whether we’re truly walking in faith. As a Christian, I’ve often found solace in the words of Hebrews 13:6, which declares, […]
He is our Peace

I live in a condominium community so when I need to take out the trash or items to be recycled, I must take it to the dumpster. On one beautiful fall day, I was walking my daughter’s dog Zeke and needed to take an empty kitty litter container to the dumpster. For reasons completely unknown […]
Poor In Spirit

In Mathew 5:3 (ESV) it reads – “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” This verse perplexed me for a long time but not enough for me to ask the Holy Spirit for clarification. Every time I read it, it seemed like a contradiction to me and because I […]
John 3:17 Missions Trip Blog by Bonnie Buchanan

What can I say about our mission trip to Arkansas to pour into the lives of women that are recovering, or trying to recover from addiction to drugs or alcohol? Right away, I think, “but for the grace of God, go I!” Looking into the eyes of these women, I could see them very much […]
Surrender, Train, and Stand Firm

Traveling to Arkansas and ministering at John 3:17 Ministry for the past three years has been a highlight of my year. It is truly an honor and privilege to minister at this faith-based recovery program that is helping women not only get sober but get fully free in Christ Jesus! God is doing a great […]
John 3:17 Missions Trip Blog by Gina Lyon

It was an exhilarating experience to be part of the ministry trip to John 3:17 in Arkansas this year. Having had the privilege to serve on three other mission trips overseas, this was my first opportunity to join the John 3:17 ministry team. Although, I had the honor of being one of the speakers, the […]
Searching for answers

My Mom loves to complete word searches, and I also used to do them all the time. However, I had not done a word search in years. On Sundays, I usually visit my mom after church for a few hours. I visited her one Sunday afternoon and decided to join in the word search she […]
In the Noise

There’s a little place in the woods that I love to steal away to in the early morning hours. Where it is just God and I. No phone and sometimes not even a Bible. But no matter what, there are always some critters, dogs, squirrels or rabbits and always birds. One morning I was at […]
