Have you ever had a friend that you speak to, but she remains completely silent? Probably not. Even the most distant of interactions between people involves communication on both sides. Even when it’s small. “How are you doing?” “ I’m great, thanks.” Babies even find ways to communicate. Words are not yet formed within aContinue reading “He Speaks”

A Generous Life
When we felt lead to move to Virginia so that Nathan could attend law school, we began a new journey of Faith. We prayed and asked God if I should get a job to sustain us during this time. We only heard that I was to homeschool our kids. God clearly wanted us to TrustContinue reading “A Generous Life”
Today’s Train
Recently I was visiting a neighboring church. We were all gathered together in worship, singing to the Lord. As I stood there singing, I got a vision mixed in together with a memory of a story I heard years ago. I saw us together singing inside of the church, singing loudly while ignoring the trainContinue reading “Today’s Train”

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”
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”
