Our Words
As I prayed and contemplated what to share, the devotion ‘The Power of Words’ had a marker. I kept looking past this place because it did not seem to grab my attention. After some time, I landed right back to this devotion and the verse associated with it is Matthew 12:34b, which states ‘Out of […]
Make the Call
This past week was an emotionally difficult one. I imagine we all experience highs and lows as we are navigating life, but sometimes just an unexpected message can do so much to buoy our spirits during that time. As I sat at my desk working and navigating life (it doesn’t stop no matter what else […]
Keep Writing It Down
I like to write things down. I’m not sure where the habit came from, maybe it was to collect my thoughts. Maybe it was so that I could articulate better my wishes, or maybe, just so I can actually remember the things I want for myself. But somehow, many years ago, I started writing things […]
He is Able…
I saw this morning’s Bible verse of the day and had to smile as I remembered an incident from just yesterday. The verse comes from Ephesians 3:20 ‘Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us’ As I was […]
Remain in Peace
Some years ago I was in the midst of questioning God. I had been asking a specific question ‘how come you said this thing, yet it looks nothing like what you’ve said’ and I believe in the midst of all of that, God took time to answer me. One of the phrases comes from Psalm […]
‘We Offer Our Condolences’
Yet another anniversary rolls around of the tragic passing of my brother. Today makes 15 years. Although it’s been many years, the suddenness of it still remains. This week, our family lost the matriarch of our family, my maternal grandmother. While not as sudden, it’s still extremely sad, even with being able to see all […]
The Aerial View
As I was scrolling through Instagram, I saw this aerial view of a road I’ve traveled a few times. I’ve driven along the top road, unable to see what was below and unable to see what was to the left or right due to the foliage. I’ve even had the pleasure of going on the […]
Pause, Rest and Reset
This week we took a pause from our regular life. We ended the school year and we were grateful. I do want to share one message that has been a constant in my life ‘be still and know that I am God’. This has been and still is one of my hardest instructions. It’s hard […]
I Am Still Confident of This…
Are you in a situation that you cannot see how it will end? You’ve been praying and asking God for directions and it seems you might have clarity, only for the door to be closed in front of you or not even be opened. Friends, take heart. I’ve had two conversations in the last 24 […]
Better Than We Can Ask
A few weeks ago, the security guard of my office building called me as I was walking by him. We’d chatted on a few occasions. He wore his Christianity boldly. He explained that his church was having a fundraiser and asked if I was willing to contribute a dollar or two. I looked in my […]
