I’m in a season of questions. What does the future hold for me after the M.B.A. is finished? Where should I invest my time and energy in the next months and years? Where do I find my passion in this season of life? So many questions. And so much silence. It feels like I’m in a holding pattern with the …
7 Verses that Remind Us to Rest
Ever run across something and think, “Thank You, God, for the reminder,”? That’s what I thought when I was scrolling through my creations and stumbled upon this one. Enough. It’s such a struggle for women. And I needed the reminder of the prayer I’d typed on there. That’s what I want to be: enough to accomplish His purpose. And sometimes …
The Story of Us
Today I’m at the Grove talking about the Story of Us. Chapter One: I was born into a family with parents who were passionately in love with Jesus. Just a few years before my Dad hadn’t known Jesus. Now he did…and he was committed. Chapter Five: I developed an understanding of who Jesus was and why I would want to follow Him. …
Bible Reading Plan Update
In January I shared a Bible Reading plan that I’m using this year. You can read that post here. As often happens, the best laid plans fall apart thanks to life. I did really well with the plan through January…and then February happened. I’m not sure what about this month threw a terrible hiccup in my reading plan, but it …
God so Loved Me!
Over at the GROVE, my writer sisters Beth Vogt and Katherine Reay are sharing their hearts about what it was like to discover that God love them.

Living in the Unforced Rhythms of Grace
Today begins a new week. One filled with opportunities. Chances to walk in grace or be shackled to the past. Opportunities to keep company with Christ or struggle along on our own. My prayer for each of us is that we will embrace the unforced rhythms of grace. That we will learn to live freely and lightly in Christ. That …
Faith: Live in His Presence
Live in His presence.
That was the command that God gave to Abram in Genesis 17. This was after God has promised Abram at least twice that he would have more descendants than he could count. It’s after Sarai interjects herself into God’s plan and tells Abram to build a family through Hagar.
Read through the Bible Tool: You can start now & not be behind!
Maybe you’re like me. Many years I start with the desire or will to read the Bible in a year. I’ve even done it a couple times. Not nearly often enough though. I have a chronological Bible that I love because it puts all the passages in chronological order. It was a great way to mix up some of the …
My 2015 Word: Brave
[box type=”shadow”] Bravery is the capacity to perform properly even when scared half to death. –Omar N. Bradley [/box] It’s that time of year. A new year. A fresh calendar page. An opportunity to embrace the unknown of the future… Or cower in fear of what’s to come as it hides behind the veil of the unknown. As I look at …
