When the Instructions Do Not Make Sense
This morning my mind felt like a blank slate. No thoughts or words were forming. As I debated which of my Bibles to pick up: the brand new study Bible with lots of extra context or my worn Bible with the 15 year history; my hand reached for the one with history. It felt familiar […]
This is Hard!
There are some seasons that I wish I could use my Global Entry access for. If you’re not aware, Global Entry allows you to enter the United States because a pre-clearance has been done and you walk to a kiosk that uses facial recognition, and you walk to the TSA agents and pretty much walk […]
Ye of Little Faith
Many years ago, as I laid in bed, crying at the prospect that my friend would not be able to afford school the next semester – which was fast approaching, I heard a whisper, ‘ye of little faith’. I can now confidently look back and say this was the first time I heard the Lord […]
This is Unexpected…
As I thought of what my topic for today would be, and remembered my week, a few things were brought back to my memory. In some ways, it was a frustrating week. Things that I thought for sure would have happened by now, still have not happened. It feels like disappointment in so many regards. […]
Come to Me… For Rest
Towards the end of 2024, and as we approached 2025, as I started contemplating my words for the year, two became solidified… ‘rest and surrender’ For someone who is and has been a perpetual doer, that instruction seemed foreign. If I think about it, it shouldn’t have been so foreign, because 10 years ago as […]
Choices
Author’s note: today’s message may be triggering for some who are still walking through seasons where their choice was taken away from them. Please seek wise counsel for all you need. I shared a message at my church and the topic was Rahab. If you are not familiar, Rahab was a prostitute who because of […]
Don’t Try to Circumvent the Waiting Process
A few days ago, I got to the Costco gas station. I love the convenience of many pumps and the savings on the price of gas. In total, there are about eight lanes that you can go on – four on each side, with three pumps, which makes it easy depending on whether your gas […]
Why Am I Here?
Ten years ago as I walked through the streets of Manhattan, in frustration, I asked the Lord: ‘Why are you taking me this way?’ I wasn’t talking about the fact that I was passing the corner by Barnes and Nobles next to some huge potted plants. It was the emotional journey that had already felt […]
Lead Me
This week I quietly celebrated a milestone anniversary. It’s not one that would mean much to others, in my opinion, but, for me, it’s been life altering. Ten years ago I moved into a new home, that I am confident the Lord had me move into. Then, a few days later, I pulled out the […]
A Divine Set Up
I had the privilege last week of sharing a message at a church. I was excited when I received the invitation and what the topic would be, ‘Go Red for Heart Health’. After prayer and some thought, I knew the angles I wanted to share from. It would be both a practical health message, but […]
