This praise song takes me back — way back — to my earlier days as a new Believer. And you know what? It still stirs my soul today just as it did back then. I had just experienced my own exodus from a life of going-who-knows-where, spiraling out of control being chased by destructive thoughts […]

Lift Your Spirit
Needed this today. Walking around in a slump and just couldn’t get out of the starting gate. Anyone else? I’ve often heard, and from the best of friends, when in a dump get up and praise. I don’t know about you, but counterintuitive seems like a soft description of how I feel about that prescription […]

That’s a four-letter word: wait. And we drop that bomb on everyone in our sphere when it’s to our advantage. Maybe it’s just not convenient for us to deal with something, so we offer a casual, “I’ll get to it — just not now.” We look at the pile of projects calling our attention and […]
Lift Your Spirit
It’s no secret that we are living miracles. In fact, it’s a sweet lil’ miracle that we woke up to see this today. When you consider the potential for a bazillion things that could’ve befallen us in the middle of the night, GOD graced us with another day. So undeserving! Yet, in His love He […]
Lift Your Spirit
20 But he did not doubt or waver in unbelief concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong and empowered by faith, giving glory to God, 21 being fully convinced that God had the power to do what He had promised.

The best conversations between friends are so satisfying … like the best thing you ever ate, it’s hard to describe … you just have to be there to experience the in moment. And some of those deep, deep conversations can last for hours. Talking to Jesus doesn’t have to be complicated or ritualistic — He […]
Lift Your Spirit
There’s more up ahead … more work to do … more praying to be done … more places to go … more people to meet … so much more to learn … It’s a hard pill to swallow when your circumstances tell a different story. But if you don’t have anyone in your immediate sphere […]
Lift Your Spirit
As a parent, I can reflect back on those ‘teaching moments’ when I would be desperately trying to convey ‘life tools’ to my children. Teachings that they could only grasp if they were willing to receive the wisdom from me. Oh, how I prayed in those moments that they would heed the words and choose […]
Lift Your Spirit
And because we are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, “Abba, Father.” Galatians 4:6 NLT Almighty GOD calls us His Children. That’s an astounding and remarkable concept when you stop to think about it. There are some days I can hardly stand to see […]
Lift Your Spirit
I hope that Jesus finds me praising Him in all my circumstances and through all my seasons of life. As challenging as it is, I’m certainly going to make the effort to remember to do that. It’s a target I want to hit — to be found so overcome by Jesus that I am less […]
