New Year, New Vision-God’s Vision
Have you ever made a vision board? I’m going to be honest, I’ve not been one to jump on this bandwagon. But earlier this year, I felt the Lord impress on my heart to write the vision down. More accurately, to create a visual representation of the dreams that He had spoken to me. So I did it. I made a collage of words and pictures to represent the things that I knew He put in my heart. It was a healing process because life had kicked me down and I could barely do the things I needed to do daily, let alone dream or work on my dreams. Once…

God Fulfills His Promises
I’m in the middle of the valley right now. What I mean by this is that we physically left the land we were in to pursue a dream God put in our hearts. But we’re not there yet. The dream hasn’t come to fruition and we are in this in-between place that feels scary at times. It feels lonely at times. And it feels as if we’ll never get to the place He promised. But here in the valley, God has been lavishing us with His great love. He has reminded us time and again that we can trust Him and He’s got this. He has covered us with His…

It’s that time of the year. The kids come home with colds, you get a cough, and all you can think of is whether or not you have enough sick time to cover all the time off you’ll need this winter.

I Don’t Always Pray in the Morning
I am a believer in the power of prayer. I have seen God do incredible miracles through the fervent prayer of His people. I have been part of prayer teams and I have been blessed to pray for other people. But, I’ve got a confession that will make half of you sigh with relief and maybe the other half wag your finger at me. I don’t always pray first thing in the morning. Now maybe you’re wondering when I pray, if I pray, and what my prayer life looks like. You’re wondering why I don’t follow Jesus’ example to pray early in the morning. Or maybe you’re just relieved that…

Jesus Comes to Bring Light to the Darkness
Did you know that starting December 21st it’s the darkest time of the year in North America? There is the least amount of light for over 2 weeks. January 8th is when you start getting more minutes of light each day. God showed me something profound in this. About Jesus. About the light in the darkness. Side note: I know that December 25th is not Jesus’s literal birthday and that He was likely born sometime in the spring. But since we celebrate His birth at this time, this revelation still applies. Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk…

Jesus is the Reason All the Time
I wrote this post on Facebook and I’ve been thinking more and more about it. I understand our culture is not Godly. And as believers, we often feel like we need to fight against a culture that does not want Christ at the center of anything. It’s hard especially when there are those of us who try to live a life of integrity filled with love and compassion. I know I fail many times to live up to the standard that Christ set before me. And I am grateful beyond measure for His love and mercy. But when the world sees us arguing about Christmas trees versus Holiday trees, or…
