You Have to Let It Go
Last night as my daughter and I were preparing for bed, she walks in with her arms laden. She’s holding a pillow, that looked to fill her arms, some headphones and her phone. Her arms are still pretty small – so these things are a lot for her to carry. As she approached me, she […]
Learning The Hard Way
I recently asked my daughter her favorite Bible story. Her response caught me off guard and completely surprised me because it’s not one we talked of often. It was the story of Samson. As we were about to have our devotion together, I decided to find the passage that speaks of this Judge of Israel. […]
Hearing God’s Voice

Last week I was doing some work with my friend. He was taking me through something that he called ‘a completion exercise’. We had talked about it prior and the great benefits of being able to release and let go a part of your life that no longer served you.It also turned into a fun […]
A Hard Decision
This is certainly not the post I had in mind when I thought I was going to share on this topic. My daughter and I adopted a dog. The sweetest dog I had ever met. She felt as if we had chosen each other – of all the dogs in the shelter, she chose us, […]
Lord, Choose For Me
Last year as I was transitioning from the corporate world and into entrepreneurship, I had the pleasure of setting up my home office. It was a space I had designated long ago as an office, but had rarely used. I had been advised to keep visible reminders of my ‘whys’. ‘Why was I doing it […]
Thank You
As I sit here quietly this thanksgiving morning and look back over the course of the last year, I want to say a heartfelt ‘thank you’. I know this year has looked nothing like any of us could have ever anticipated at the end of last year as we felt the excitement of going into […]
