Jacquie lives in the beautiful Pacific NW, in a small city near Seattle, WA with her husband, Dean, and their 3 children: 2 lively teens and a precocious pre-teen. Rounding out the family are 2 bounding dogs, 6 tropical fish tanks, and a goldfish pond. Jacquie homeschools their children, works very part-time, and is active in serving in their wonderful, grace-filled church.
Jacquie is thrilled to serve with the team at CWO! It’s such a marvelous place for women to gather and help each other grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to come to faith in the Lord if they do not yet know Him!
“Jesus answered, ‘I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no man comes to the Father except through Me.’” John 14:6

As Spring comes on and Nature starts to unfold itself into fresh life, in even the tiniest of ways, we often ~ as our poets and lyricists attest to in droves ~ begin to think on Love. It’s a season given to Love as autumn is associated with decline or “going out in a blaze […]

Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. (Philippians 4:8) This is not a typical holiday season verse. Yet may this verse, and its grand counsel […]

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire. (Hebrews 12:28~29) This is what I call a “chewy” verse of Scripture ~ meaty, tasty, strong, and full of good things for us, the […]

"I will hope in Your name, for Your name is good." (Psalm 52:9)
The words in this song stay with me: "Sometimes, I don't know what You're doing, but I know who You are."
When we can't understand the reasons, we choose to trust His love and His goodness, His wisdom and His grace. We choose to trust Him.
One of my favorite scriptures to remember when I am in need of hope is from Isaiah 40, when Isaiah says that God 'tends His flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in His arms and carries them close to His heart.'
The other day I asked my daughter what she thought of God and she said 'He is our great holder.'
I think it's one of the best descriptions of the Father that I've ever heard. He is my Great Holder.
I am He, I am He who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.
~Isaiah 46:4
Trusting in Him,
Christie
