Healing
By Julie Ademe |
Time and rest. It does wonders for healing, improves our energy, can lift our spirits. It takes time to heal, be renewed, and restored to full strength and in that time we have a great opportunity to see God at work. To see Him at work in times of healing and rest, we need to […]
Worship The King
By Julie Ademe |
As I write this I am still in the hospital waiting to be sprung. My surgery is complete. I have begun dialysis and I’m ready to go home. I am grateful to my Lord and King for providing for me thus far. All praise and worship goes to Him alone. My goodness, I never anticipated that […]
Tomorrow is the Day

Tomorrow is the big day. My kidney will be removed placing me on dialysis until I am eligible for a transplant. What a ride it has been. I have seen God’s hand at work in so many ways through the last 8 months. He’s given me so many of you who have encouraged me […]
Walking into the Unknown
By Julie Ademe |
I have been moved over the last few days by the song “Hills and Valleys” by Tauren Wells. This song really seems to fit my current mood. I am learning I need to continually lean into the Lord, especially now that we are only 1 week from my surgery. I need this constant reminder that […]

Fixing my Eyes on My Savior
By Julie Ademe |
I love to go for walks. Everyday I relish the early morning hours to go outside to walk, pray, and listen to God. Lately I’ve caught myself looking down at the pavement instead of looking up where I am going. As I am looking down, my mind begins to wander to my circumstances instead of […]

It’s been awhile since I’ve taken the time to write just for the sheer pleasure of the writing. To share my love of Christ with all of you, my friends, as we walk with the Lord. Over the last few months, I found that my “weariness” had taken a hold of me in a way […]
The Wow and The Spectacular
By Julie Ademe |
Have you ever been walking along and you get that beautiful smell of Lilacs in the wind? Strong and fragrant, the fragrance wows the senses and often stops me in my tracks.

By Julie Ademe | | God's Word
A vinedresser takes great care in pruning the vine. He wants them to produce lush, fragrant, vibrant-tasting fruit that yields the greatest or most abundant harvest.
