This World Is Broken
This world is broken. It’s not hard to see all the destruction, the sickness, the tragic events, the lies, the devastation, the hate, and so much more. And it’s not hard to feel the division, suffering, and the pain. So often people wonder where God is in it all. Question upon question about His ‘absence’…
God Has Planted A Mighty Seed In You
Defeat hits me from time to time. Lately it’s coming at me from more than one direction.But, I know this feeling is not from God. Truth is, within me and you is a far greater purpose than we realize. Sometimes though, we head down a path that ends to ‘no-where’. Or life grabs hold of…
Find Faith in the Battle
One line from a song. Just one line. This one line seemed set apart by bold print as all the other words faded away. Flashing like a neon sign in a store front window and with every ‘blink’ the words pushed farther into my thoughts. Each time digging a little deeper into the crevices of my…
When We Run Out of Strength
When we run out of strength hopelessness can begin take up residence in our soul. Oh Friend. I understand. That feeling of being tired and weary seems to sum it up, doesn’t it? You’ve got nothing left to give … and strength, there just isn’t enough. In these trying times it’s hard to let go of…
My Shepherd
I woke up in the middle of the night recently and Psalm 23 was racing through my mind. Over and over. This passage has always been special to me. It’s packed with so much hope, emotion, promise and comfort. “The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.” (vs. 1.) To have this kind of faith isn’t…

Peace and Protection
Clinging to this truth a little extra today! Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand ~ Isaiah 41:10
Dark Day
I recently just walked through the 9 year mark of the day that my baby girl met Jesus. Many people have asked over the years if life gets easier. The answer is always no. Not at all. Grief is hard and is always changing – with unexpected twists and layers. Navigating these twists and layers…
God’s Will
The will of God often takes us to places we don’t want to go. Places where we grieve and mourn.Places filled with sadness and confusion.Places we’ll never fully understand. Often, we enter into this space without warning – and other times we beg for God’s will to align with our desperate pleas. I know about…
Peace
Sometimes peace comes flooding in, other times it’s a slow trickle that takes it’s time reaching the depths of your soul. And then there are times when peace just doesn’t seem to ever come. I’m not sure where you find yourself today? But, I hear and feel you dear friend. Oh how I know the…
