Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you. Psalm 37:5 NLT I am such a do-er sort of person that I even look for things to do while I’m supposedly ‘resting.’ Yes, I know that’s counterintuitive to what I should be doing in that moment — but it is genuinely […]
I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. 1 Timothy 2:1 NLT We’ve come a long way from home delivery and waiting in line to entering the grocery stores. Like all other ‘milestones,’ we seem to be forgetful […]
She makes you crazy with her sarcasm and snide remarks. Seemingly aloof to your constant turning away at her every judgmental comment, she persists with her negative monologue. Doesn’t she see that you’re totally turned off by her berating and condescending remarks? You can no longer tolerate the incessant hammering of words and you suddenly […]
What can you accomplish in thirty seconds? Two sets of squats? Heat up a quick snack in the microwave? Order online pizza? Take out the trash? Send an email? If you think about it, those thirty seconds are spent rather quickly. And once they’re gone, they’re GONE! I set a timer to get a ‘feel’ […]

I’m finding that I’m in that season […]
Why is it that we humans are so hung up on getting that ‘yes’ to our every query? I know that’s not the most magnificent way of starting out a conversation, but I wanted to just make the big splash in fewer words. Is it that ‘no’ feels like a rejection of us as a […]
The Lord is my Shepherd … How many times have we read Psalm 23 and skated through those words … because we’d become so accustomed to them, but have failed to pull them in and make them our declaration of relationship to our Shepherd? The endearing love of GOD as our Shepherd … it should […]
“‘For this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I myself will search for my sheep and look after them. Ezekiel 34:11 NIV There are days when so much is whizzing around me that I can hardly hear my own thoughts. And as much as I find it embarrassing to admit, Friend, I can get swept […]
