You don't have to be perfect, organized and your house doesn't even have to be clean (shhh! mine isn't!). But you and I can sit right here and visit with Jesus. We can learn from Him. Do life with Him. Even in the midst of all of life's craziness, we can know Him! Why? Simply because He is our ONLY. He is NECESSARY. And He is WORTH every minute we spend with Him.

So, let's take some time today to do what I love and that's spending time in His Word. This little corner of the universe will be our place to dig deep into the treasures of Scripture. You can use this for quiet time, a devotional, Bible study, small group, or just encouragement. It's all up to you!

But promise me this...you will keep chasing Jesus here and everywhere. Welcome friend! I can't wait to grow with you!

She also holds a MA in TESOL (Teaching English as a Second Language) from Biola University and for nearly 10 years has taught ESL at various universities in Chicago. Nora has a passion for studying and teaching God's Word as well as helping others cultivate a passion for God's Word. Her husband Rick is the pastor of New Life Community Church in Brookfield, Illinois.

Waiting for the Greatest Gift

“But when the right time came, God sent his Son…” Galatians 4:4 As a child, I couldn’t wait for Christmas. Christmas Eve was always pure torture.

Even When the Turkey Burns, Remember God is Good

“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His lovingkindness is everlasting”  Psalm 136:1 As a child, whenever I received a gift, I would hear my parents’ voices echo, “When someone gives you a gift, what do you say?” and my response, along with my sisters, would always be a harmonious “thank you!”…
