In the Stillness of the Night
Some years ago, I was sharing with a friend how I was constantly waking up around the same time in the wee hours of the morning. He shared with me that he had developed a principle based on when God called Samuel. After being awake for a while, he would ask God to speak as […]
The Joy of Giving
As the year comes to a close, and I sat down to calculate and return my tithe and offering, I felt a deep sense of gratitude. When I started attending the church I currently attend nearly 25 years ago, I was convicted that I should be returning a tithe. I have a story that I […]
Delayed But Not Denied
I had the privilege of taking a quick trip the morning after my book launch. While I was at the airport, I started listening to a message titled ‘Delayed but not denied’. How I even got a copy of this message is a story on its own. I was in church and sat behind a […]
Asking God to Lead
I’ve been in a season of reflecting and being reminded of how this journey started. For me, it didn’t start at baptism 25 years ago. It started in February 2016, a few days after I had moved into my new home. As I sat in my new home, I wrote down a note in the […]
The In-Between
I started a new devotion through the Bible app this week. It’s titled “Help for Your Hard Days”. The author states “we’re funny as humans. We tend to think in terms of all or nothing. So we insist that life is great when we’re breaking apart inside. Because to do otherwise would be to discount...
There is Beauty in Stillness
As I took my morning walk in the park, I allowed my mind to wander. While my time at the park is structured, while I walk, my brain has no structure of what it needs to do. I use the time to process my thoughts, speak to God and listen for what He has to […]
Kind Instructions and Detours
I had two very cool interactions in my favorite park that I’d like to share with you. Some weeks ago, as I was walking, I saw a couple taking their walk. I noticed the woman the first time. She looked like she was struggling. As we were walking in opposite directions of each other, I […]
Write Down the Vision
It’s the first time in a long time that I woke up and didn’t have a topic on my heart – or even writing on a Sunday morning as I’ve had much inspiration lately, and writing before Sunday. I sighed a deep sigh, knowing that God would come through, regardless of what it looks like. I’ve walked this […]
Seasonal Changes and Faith Walks
I have a friend in Jamaica and a few years ago she shared that she loves to see the colors of the trees in Fall. While she works closely with plants in Jamaica, the trees don’t turn the colors that they do in the US. While we’ve been having some fantastic fall foliage, I remembered […]
God’s Loving Care
Last week, on my way to get my daughter’s hair done, out of nowhere, my car started swerving. The first miracle I observed was that I was within feet of a gas station. The second one, while someone was close behind me, I quickly put my four way flasher on and they pulled back. I […]
