Joy. “We have it over here!” […]

“Why God? Why?” I prayed. What was wrong with my plans? I expected my life to follow this path. I expected to be in a different season of life right now. I expected [fill in the blank]. I was frustrated and hurt because things weren’t going my way, and I couldn’t understand what God was […]

“I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed the pillar and where you made a vow to Me. Now arise, get out of this land, and return to the land of your family.” (Genesis 31:13 NKJV) “I am the God of Bethel.” Why does God say this? What is the significance? Bethel was the […]

It’s Saturday morning. I’m sitting in my small temporary room with a gentle California breeze cascading through the cracked window. The sky is blue, the birds are awake, and I’m reflecting on the reality that just last year, this strange and tropical place became my new home. My forever home is 2,000 miles away in […]

Dreams have been on my mind a lot lately. Not the kind you have while you sleep, but the kind that keep you from sleeping. The kind that make you stay up all night imagining what you could be, what you could do, and what you could accomplish. The ones that make your heart beat […]

“If the heart is a compass, what is it tuned to?” These were the words my pastor spoke not too many weeks ago, and I couldn’t shake them from my mind. As a Christian, I like to think that God is the “True North” of my internal compass. In reality I often find that deep down […]

I still remember the feeling, even though I was only 15 years old. I remember sitting in church, in that auditorium, and wishing I could disappear, wishing I could sink right into the floor. The pastor was talking about discipleship, and that a real disciple of Jesus would read their bible every day. And many […]

He said it suddenly, and the words pierced through my heart. “I just want you to be open to God about your future as I am.” Inside, I wanted to protest, and say, Yes, I’m just as open as you are. I’m completely surrendered to God’s plan. But instead, tears came. We sat on top […]

Dear You. I started a letter to myself because I knew it was what my heart needed. I spent the week before in the whitespace of Colorado, hiking in the snow. It was there, in the openness of God’s creation, that I saw my soul stripped bare. You know, those moments when your heart bubbles […]

“I love you.” I stare into his brown eyes – get lost in the pools of them. They are gentle and strong; dark brown, but a hazel glow blazes forth when I stay and linger long enough. Those words took some time to say – I remember a time when they didn’t roll off my tongue […]

What is an abundant life?  Check out part one by clicking here! For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in […]

Question: are you living an abundant life? Or maybe here’s a better one: what is an abundant life? I look at my life in comparison to those around me, let’s be real here, we all do it.  Sometimes I can get to thinking that my life doesn’t measure up.  Then there are other times where […]

Whose words are you listening to? Choosing to believe that you are who the world, the enemy, and your flesh says you are instead of who God says you are will immobilize you, create a false reality, and keep you from knowing God’s will for your life. Isaiah 26:3-4 says, “You will keep him in […]
