Today I want to encourage each of you to share your stories. Your story is your testimony and it is powerful. It can point people to Jesus in a life-giving, world-altering way. Have you ever considered that? Have you allowed God to heal the places of brokenness, the places where life has shattered you? You have a testimony. Wonder if you have …
Collision of Logic & Imagination
I want to suck the very marrow from this life I’ve been placed here to live. I want to know I’ve walked in the destiny of a story that God alone could write. And if that leaves me shaking in my boots, it means I may have actually found my story.
I want to live beyond a logic-driven, left-brain existence, and dive into the land of what-ifs where God resides.
One Word: Audaciously Loved
As I start a new year, I’m wrestling with what does God want me to do, to learn, to be in this year. The message I’m getting is to accept His audacious love for me. That message is appearing from multiple places, persons, perspectives.
That My Steps might be Steady
My goal in the way I lead life is for my steps to always be pointed toward Jesus. It doesn’t mean I’m perfect. It doesn’t mean things I do or say aren’t taken out of context and misinterpreted. But I’m learning I’m not responsible for another person’s behavior. I’m responsible for my heart, my motives, my actions. That’s what I can control.
Monday Meditations: Finding God in the Pauses
Tomorrow I head to ACFW, which means I’m a little swamped. So today I’m digging into the blog archives. This post is from 2012. As my fall is racing away from me, I found it poignant to look back at this post. In many ways, life is filled with seasons of waiting and pausing. It’s so hard to savor those seasons. It’s …
When the Way of Wisdom Means Trust
This week I’ve continued to think about wisdom and how we acquire it for the decisions in our lives. Maybe it’s not about how to schedule our time. Maybe instead our decision is about a job, where to live, whether to sell a house, how to parent a child, etc. There are so many areas in our lives that demand wisdom. As …
4 Ideas for Transmitting Faith
One of my goals as a homeschooling momma is to transmit my faith to my kids. I want them to have a personal relationship with Christ from a young age. But I also understand they can’t ride on my coattails, or my husband’s or their grandparents, or aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. You get the picture. Transmitting #faith to your kids …
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.
Thoughts on Bravery
At different times different themes seem to appear in my life. Right now I am surrounded by people who are called to be braver than they ever imagined. The dictionary defines brave as: ready to face or endure danger or pain; showing courage. None of the people I’m thinking of think of themselves as brave. In fact they would probably tell …
The Myth I will ever be Enough
I just got back from ACFW Sunday night…and have been diving back into life since then. As I focus on what happened at the conference, I come back to the reality that I am nothing without God. My dreams…bankrupt without Him to breathe life into them. My friendships…filled with self without Him to turn the focus to service. My ambitions…meaningless …
