Build Reserves of Courage
Are you courageous in front of your enemies, problems, and challenges?
When Your Plan Isn’t God’s Plan
We had plans. They weren’t fancy— but still…there was a plan. After work, my husband and I were to take care of some adulting stuff—mapping out finances, thinking through schedules, and making dinner— including the beets and carrots that were freshly harvested from our backyard garden. We went to bed, knowing the next day’s plan…and…
Feeling A Million Miles Away from God?
The government has been taking photos of us. A few years ago, NASA’s Cassini Telescope snapped this photo of you and me, as the telescope approached Saturn. The brighter blue dot near the center of the photo is us – planet earth! It’s easy to look at a photo like this and be impressed with…
It’s Okay to Fall Apart
Talk about gut-wrenching! Have you heard Ryan Stevenson’s song, “When We Fall Apart”? Every time it comes on, I cry! And since I’m listening to Star ALL DAY LONG, that’s a lot of crying.

From Mess to Message
If you know me, you know I love outdoor adventures! A few weeks ago, I decided to do a Tough Mudder!

If you’re having trouble finding things, look to some of the stories from around the country: Longtime school…
God Delights in Hearing from You
Yes, He does! He will also calm all your fears and celebrate over you with songs! I think sometimes we find it hard to believe that Jesus actually has joy over us! We are always praising and thanking Him for all He has done for us, but do you ever really think about how much He…
Focus on the steps, not the mountain
Don’t look at the mountain in front of you. Instead, focus on each step, one step at a time. We are more than conquerors through Christ who gives us strength, but sometimes, when we look at the obstacles in front of us, we don’t feel so strong, right? This past 4th of July weekend was amazing wasn’t it? The weather…
