When Water Speaks
Water moves….and water moves things. Water saves our lives. Without it our lifespan hours decline drastically. Water inspires us even as it simply does what it was created to do. It moves.
Safe in Our Father's Arms
And just like that, through the simple complexity of ten-minute infant swim lessons, the Lord has opened up yet another part of His heart to me. What He must feel when He hears me cry…
Surrounded by You
Darkness covered the house as night tucked in around those who were falling asleep. In these days, the word of the Lord was rare; shadows were prevalent and this silence felt heavier than it ever had. Until, a voice rang out…
His Treasured Art
Moses was approaching the bush when God calls out to him and then tells him to remove his sandals. In all the times I have read this scripture I was more drawn to the burning bush than the sandals bit, until now.
Can Feather's be Used by God?
It was in the midst of this very private period of grief in my life that God began to comfort me with feathers found lying on the ground.
Thy Kingdom Come,Thy Will Be Done
In the gospels, Jesus refers to us as “little flock” and “my sheep”. We are not much different from toddlers! When it comes to understanding, we do not have that ability.
Fill in the Blank
Our daily lives are filled with countless gifts, possessions, and relationships, big and small - and yet, how often do we stop to reflect on our role as stewards of these blessings?
Are You Singing?
The birds are not actually singing so we humans will hear and enjoy…they sing because that is what they were made to do first thing in the morning and as a believer I like to think it is tied to their own form of worship for their Creator.
A Most Beautiful Way to Live
He didn’t think it would matter. He saw no problem in his decision. He agreed with himself….even though he somehow knew he should keep his decision secreted away. He told no one. For him, to him, it made sense.
On That Mountain
There’s a place by a creek, beside mountains, surrounded by trees, that holds footprints of my children and echos of their voices. This place knows the sounds of our family’s laughter.
Love Laid His Life Down
While we may know the scriptures with our head, to embrace it with our being is an entirely different form of understanding, devotion, and obedience.
The Beauty in Breaking
This past month brought with it a new season - nature awakens from its slumber, and finally, we witness a beautiful dance of new life. Winter held us within long, dark days, and now Spring has come.
The "Best" Reach ... Always
First things first. We can not take hold of anything until we have first reached for it. Then once we have it in our hand, we must choose what to do with it. It’s a simple reality that everything we take hold of, has the potential to either be moved by us or move us.
The Coyote Song
I don’t even remember how old I was. There are so many gaps in the memory my soul holds but the parts I do remember rest in contrasting colors, vivid and deep with no vague pastel hues.
He's Coming with the Clouds
Personally, at first glance, Finding Nemo never would have crossed my mind as a multifaceted screening packed with tender layers of meaning. But…
Emptiness
The word “empty” came to my mind recently. I was feeling the weight from one of those days that seems to carry with it a heaviness that lingered deep in my bones. And yet, even though I felt pulled down, the best way to describe the feeling in my heart was that word - empty.
Brave Light - Carriers Part Two
If you haven’t read (or listened to) last week’s part 1 of Brave Light-Carriers, here’s your cue to click pause on this reach-for-more of Jesus — and drink that one in first.
Brave Light - Carriers Part One
I share the dream with you here because I sense in my heart that maybe it can encourage you in a God-honoring way — to recognize the battlefield in front of us…
This Sweet Language
This passage of scripture does not describe Mary saying or doing anything. She chose to "treasure up all these things, pondering them in her heart.”
Greater Love
The Bible tells us over and over again, that love is an action, not a feeling, and some consider this to be one of the greatest declarations of love - to give one’s life over for another just as Jesus did for us.
