Christie Lambert is a small-town, southern writer who is daily amazed by the love of God. Although she loves fiction and has published a few short stories here and there, her writing is now focused on sharing the grace of Jesus that has swept her off her feet. She is usually doing laundry for her three small kids and musician-husband, drinking (too much) coffee with her sister, and reading while cooking (not recommended for those who like edible meals). She is currently obsessed with learning how to play the guitar and finishing her degree in Religious Studies. Christie can be contacted at christiedlambert@gmail.com.
Christie has written 19 on Christian Women Online.
In the service of our King, we are engaged in a spiritual battle every single day. But do not fear! We do not face Satan in our own power. Paul tells us to “Be strong in the Lord and in the power of HIS might.” We wear the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, [...]

I’ve set two fires in my kitchen in recent months. First, I put a potato on a paper towel in the microwave and let it go for about twelve minutes. I noticed an odd color flaring up behind the microwave door, opened it out of curiosity, and… fire! My reaction? Laughter. And I just stood [...]

I believe that You created all things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible… all things, created by You and for You. You are before all things and in You, all things hold together. Yes, You hold all things together. I walk outside and the heavens declare Your glory… it’s Your handiwork that awes [...]

Marilyn Monroe sang “diamonds are a girl’s best friend” and, sure, diamonds are great. Who wouldn’t want a little sparkle in her life? But — I think that song chose the wrong accessory. In my opinion, shoes are a girl’s best friend. There are a million different kinds of shoes, a pair for every mood. [...]

When the sky turns September blue and the muggy blanket of early morning heat slips into a sliver of chill, I remember that year of change. It stays with me, what has been, and I am sure that it stays with you. In the remembering, we learn. In the remembering, we honor. In the remembering, [...]

I had no idea how emotional it would be to clean out our attic and garage. This has been a huge project involving lots of late nights and weekends spent going through dusty boxes… has anybody else out there ever been floored by the sheer amount of material belongings that can accumulate over several years?

Psalms 89:1a “I will sing about the Lord’s faithful love forever” (HCSB)
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
there is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
as Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning
new mercies I see.
All I have needed
Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness,
Lord, unto me!
Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
sun, moon and stars In their courses above,
join with all nature in manifold witness
to Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
~ I greet the morning with this praise song in my heart, desiring a day spent in the presence of my heavenly Father. As this melody swells through my senses and lifts me to that special place of worship, the words are embedded deep in the core of me, “You, Father, are faithful; You love me with tenderness, mercy, and justice! My window frames the beauty of Nature; it shouts Your glory in its God-set cycles! You are all I need in the seasons of my life to come. The final verse, my theme song for today! ~
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
Humming along,
Rhea
