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 […]
Broken to Build Better
Sometimes, living through the hardest thing sets you on the path to realize some blessings on the other side. When the words started forming for this morning’s post, I started telling God that I didn’t want to particularly share this story. I wasn’t quite ready to talk about it. Then, I looked over at a notebook […]
