Distant

You’re wandering. You’ve been trying to find your path but every time you feel like you’re on your feet, you stumble or a boulder blocks your journey. You’re navigating your way through a trying season. For most of your life you have found God near, always by your side. But lately you can’t see himContinue reading “Distant”

Molten Chocolate Cake

You know what I love about Jesus? He doesn’t give gifts according to what we DESERVE. We are all sinners and we don’t deserve any of the good gifts that he offers us, yet he gives them because he GENUINELY LOVES us. I was once working alongside a woman that I was ministering to whomContinue reading “Molten Chocolate Cake”

Living Word

I grew up knowing that I should be reading my Bible but I rarely did so. It was a discipline that I wanted to start, needed to start, but couldn’t quite put into routine. It wasn’t until I entered a new season as a mom that I decided to begin this practice of reading myContinue reading “Living Word”

Taste and See

“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”
