Have you noticed that when God decides to reveal something to you it shows up everywhere? It is in your devotional, in your conversations and even on your Instragram feed? Ugh! As much as I avoid saying it out loud, I must admit – I fear criticism. I do! And if I am being honest (oh, mercy – here it is) I even sometimes assume…
Read MoreIf you have been following along, then you know I am hung up on the word – EVERYTHING. God has been showing me - or should I say reminding me – that He is everything! He is our Father, our best friend and our counselor. He is everything we have ever wanted and everything we need. What are we searching for? We already have…
Read MoreWe ask that question a lot… What is in this for me? We see everything from our perspective and we are often blinded to what is already ours. We make it very difficult when the reality is - it is very simple. Do you know what God has for…
Read MoreIt’s Holy Week! We are just days away for celebrating Easter. Oh yes, there will be bunnies and eggs and lots of good food to eat. But… can we all pause and consider what this week truly means for…
Read MoreWho is God? Who is He? We know all the right words to say – but do we believe those words? Do we liveas if we believe those words? Do we live as if He is everything – everything …
Read MoreSo…. I am in a hard season and maybe you are too. You know, the thing about hard seasons is that subtly, without us even realizing it, we shift our eyes from looking up to looking at our current situation. Before we know it, we are consumed

Can we acknowledge that we have some sin that we keep hanging onto, whitewashing and pretending it is not so bad. Can we admit that it stands between us and our relationship with God? We are paying a huge price…
Read MoreI judge others and I am willing to guess that you do to. Take a few minutes to read this post and determine if you do.

Read MoreWe want the world to believe we are good Christian girls, that we say yes to God about everything, that we are great followers of Jesus and that we have learned everything we need to know about Him. Ha! Who is laughing out loud with me? What could be further from the truth? Can we all just be honest…
Read MoreWe want to know. We try to guess, to figure it out. We list our gifts and our talents and imagine it has something to do with those. We think about what we enjoy, what we hope it is. We are so self-absorbed. Our calling is not…

Read MoreAs the new year dawned we started thinking about being better, doing better and achieving better things. We started making plans, plotting a new start and hoping this year would be different. We are…
Read MoreIf you have been following along, you know that we have talked about Jesus sitting on the side of that mountain and teaching the disciples about their new way of life. You see, if we believe what we say we believe then…
