1.12.2022 – Trusting Him in the Ebbs and Flows of Life

January 12, 2022

“…write about exactly where you are.” So where am I? Well, there are some days when the words seem to flow, and flow, and overflow onto this page… …and there are other days–or what can feel like mini “seasons”… where the flow seems to be dried out. It’s the ebb. The words don’t seem to… Read More 1.12.2022 – Trusting Him in the Ebbs and Flows of Life

“You are the God who works wonders;You have made known Your strength among the peoples.“—Psalm 77:14 We don’t know how God will choose to “show up” in and through our lives… It’s kind of like that Forrest Gump quote, “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get.” But we… Read More 1.6.2022 – “Am I willing to let God be God, in and through my life?”

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.

December 18, 2021

This may is a different kind of post from me this morning, but I came across a powerful testimony that I want to share… An “ex-shaman encounters Jesus Christ.” And as I watched, I could see the relevance… this man gives language—from his own personal story… to to what the enemy is attempting to lead… Read More 12.18.2021 – Jesus is always the best part of the story…

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.
