“Oh taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man that trusts in him.” Psalm 34:8 It is one of my most favorite scriptures, as it details not only that the Lord is good, but that he gives us the ability to TASTE it and the opportunity to SEE it. This isContinue reading “Taste and See”

Dream
“What do you want to be when you grow up?” A great question to a child, isn’t it? When this question is brought forth, a child begins to dream. And that dream.. it is limitless. God has abundant futures for EACH of us. But what about today? He doesn’t only create beauty in theContinue reading “Dream”
Ask
My kids and I are walking through the book of Exodus right now. After we read Exodus 3 one morning, I asked my 7 year old to pray for us. I had a feeling that he would not want to. As assumed, he squirmed away from this suggestion and offered dozens of other ideas asContinue reading “Ask”
He Wastes Nothing
I grew up in church, but I didn’t understand that God is real and in our day-to-day. I spent my days and weeks sitting in a pew, but I didn’t have a concept of Him working in my life. To me, he was just up in heaven.. watching and waiting. As a teenager I wasContinue reading “He Wastes Nothing”
The God Who Sees
I was reading in Genesis one day when I read this, “When the Lord saw that Leah was not loved, he enabled her to conceive, but Rachel remained childless”. Those words stuck with me and I couldn’t let them go. If you’re not familiar with the story of Leah, let me catch you up aContinue reading “The God Who Sees”
It was an odd season. For months, I began to have memories or visions randomly throughout the day of things that someone from my past did or said to me that I had blocked out of my mind for years. Impressions that hurt my heart. Memories that were so real, that in that brief momentContinue reading
Faith the Size of a Tylenol Pill
Chris Seidman once said that we often put more Faith into a tiny white Tylenol pill than we do in our God. This statement has stuck with me for years as I have pondered its meaning. We believe in the Tylenol and trust it, we know that it will take away our headache and provideContinue reading “Faith the Size of a Tylenol Pill”
He Calmed My Storm
At the age of 25, I woke up each morning feeling lost and abandoned into a difficult situation. After a year of desperation, I began to search for God in a new way. I was desperate. I needed something, someone to hold my hand and walk me through this hell on Earth, and I foundContinue reading “He Calmed My Storm”
Adventure
I thought we were buying an investment property already filled with paying tenants. Little did I know, that God would instead take us on a wild ride. Adventure excites me, it always has. If you know me well, you wouldn’t be surprised to find out that Nathan and I once stopped our car to trekContinue reading “Adventure”
Trust That He Has Already Figured It Out
Emery and Van were little, around the ages of 1 and 3. I was staying home with my kids but would occasionally take tutoring jobs here and there to help fluff our budget a bit. Unexpectedly, a woman contacted me via e-mail inquiring if I was interested in tutoring her daughters. We had just walkedContinue reading “Trust That He Has Already Figured It Out”
