1.20.2022 – “Be Careful”

January 20, 2022

There is a phrase that many of us use… “be careful!” I catch myself using it all the time. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with “being careful” when there is a need to use caution out of wisdom. Of course, there is a time to genuinely caution someone else about something, don’t get me… Read More 1.20.2022 – “Be Careful”

1.19.2022 – A different kind of “learning season”…

January 19, 2022

I’m in a different kind of “learning season”… And the lessons I am learning are fast-paced, unfamiliar, “jump right in and make mistakes”… I am having to learn things quickly when I’d prefer to take it slow. It feels like I’ve been nudged into something brand new and different… with a little bit of an… Read More 1.19.2022 – A different kind of “learning season”…

1.5.2022 – Resting in the Lightness of the Yoke of Christ

January 5, 2022

Do you ever find your self wrapped up in a heavy, overbearing, obsessive or worrisome kind of “pressure“? “I’ve got to figure this out. Right now.” “I’ve got to make this happen.” “…And why isn’t this happening?” “I’ve got to figure this out…” And you stop and take a look at the fruit, you look… Read More 1.5.2022 – Resting in the Lightness of the Yoke of Christ

12.21.2021 – The “Unexpected” Donkey

December 21, 2021

With all of this talk of donkeys in my life these days… I have become intrigued about their biblical and symbolic significance and meaning.

12.16.2021 – Watch for Glimpses

December 16, 2021

I love the way God uses the “things of life” that we can compare and contrast… …these real-life “parables” that He uses to give us deeper understanding. A few years ago, the Lord led me to search into the ‘meaning’ of my name. And one of the things I felt like He showed me, was… Read More 12.16.2021 – Watch for Glimpses

December 10, 2021

Have you ever just automatically “drawn a line” about something that you’re not completely sure about? “Let’s just decide about this thing right now, I’m not completely sure about this thing, but I’d rather just draw a protective line than face my questions and uncertainty about it.” So you draw a line, you toss it… Read More 12.10.2021 – Learning to be Led
