Undignified

This week, I’m excited to have my daughter write a guest post for me! She’s now a sophomore in college, and an absolute delight! This summer, she is going to Cambodia and Thailand on a two month mission trip. It would bless her to have you join her in prayer! You can also pray for […]

Do A Mighty Work, Lord

Do a mighty work in me, Lord, so you can do a mighty work through me. I will never forget falling to my knees and praying that very prayer. I’ll be honest. My pride prevented me from seeing how much work God needed to do in me before He could work through me. I was at the […]

To New Beginnings

“Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:18-19 A new year is upon us. Let’s be honest: I […]

Extraordinary Acts of God

“Extraordinary acts of God often begin with ordinary acts of obedience.” Craig Groeschel Have you ever sensed God telling you to do something that in the human realm simply doesn’t make sense? A few months ago, my daughter called me late one night. She had just returned to college where she had a ton of […]

Slow Down!

“Slow down!!” It wasn’t an audible voice. If it had been, I probably wouldn’t have heard it. Why? Because I’ve been too busy. Too busy to hear God. Too busy to take care of myself. Too busy to enjoy life. Too busy just trying to keep all the plates spinning. It’s been a hard few […]

Does God Still Do Miracles?

Jesus was still angry as he arrived at the tomb, a cave with a stone rolled across its entrance. “Roll the stone aside,” Jesus told them. But Martha, the dead man’s sister, protested, “Lord, he has been dead for four days. The smell will be terrible.” Jesus responded, “Didn’t I tell you that you would see […]

Finding the Abundant Life

I’ve written over the past few weeks about peace. The Peace Index. His Perfect Peace. My peace being robbed from me. It’s been a very introspective period of my life as I’ve begun to look at who I am, who I want to be, where I am succeeding and where I am failing. I’ve been […]

A Little Leaven

I recently discovered that I have a significant gluten intolerance. I’ve suffered with a variety of strange ailments over the last few years, most of which I have associated with my low thyroid condition. However, some symptoms actually seemed to be completely antithetical to hypothyroid. As I’ve read about Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, I’ve learned many experts […]

The Peace Index

God is the giver of peace. It’s throughout scripture. When we focus our minds on Him, we are covered with His perfect peace. Isaiah 26:3 When we take our concerns to Him in prayer with thanksgiving, His peace that surpasses understanding will guard our hearts and mind. Philippians 4:6-7 Jesus is called the Prince of […]

An Inside-Out Job

Change. Change is an essential part of the Christian life. 2 Corinthians 5:17 tells us that if we are in Christ, we are a new creation, the old has gone and the new has come. But, what does that change look like? Have you ever known someone who says the right things, maybe even does […]
