  • Post of Honor

    Post of Honor

    In the Apostle Paul’s letter to the church of Ephesus, lies a significant plea and challenge to the reader. These two words alone, don’t quite capture the spirit and urgency of Paul’s request…it’s more than a plea or a challenge…it’s a call to action.  Ephesians 4:1 – NIV”I urge you to live a life worthy of…

  • National Reading Awareness Month

    National Reading Awareness Month

    Are you familiar with the phrase “garbage in, garbage out”?  It was first recorded in 1957 from a newspaper article about US Army mathematicians who emphasized the importance of high-quality input data in computer science and data processing.   The concept is that even a correctly designed machine cannot produce correct results from incorrect data.  The…

  • Prayer

    Prayer

    The Lord has been convicting my heart on the subject of prayer, which I have to admit is an area of my life that lately hasn’t been as fervent, disciplined, and devoted as it should or could be.  As I thought about it and sought the Lord, He brought a few different things to mind…

  • Becoming: A Seed in the Hands of the Gardener

    Becoming: A Seed in the Hands of the Gardener

    Walk into any home improvement store this time of year and you’ll see it — rows upon rows of seed packets. Tomatoes. Zinnias. Basil. Sunflowers. Each small envelope holds something far bigger than it appears.  And someone decides where it will go. It begins as a thought… “The garden should go here.”   But before…

  • The Holy Spirit & Me

    The Holy Spirit & Me

    For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons (daughters) of God. (Rom 8:14) NKJV. It is God’s desire and design that we are led by Him in our lives. Not only to seek His direction in the big and significant but also in the small details of our everyday…

  • You are Mine. Now Walk with Me.

    You are Mine. Now Walk with Me.

    After acceptance comes invitation. God isn’t asking for perfection—He’s asking for proximity. Transformation begins when we learn to walk with Him, not just work for Him. God says, ‘You are Mine.’ Then He whispers, ‘Now walk with Me.’ After acceptance comes invitation. God doesn’t simply say, You belong to Me. He says, Now walk with Me.Transformation begins when…

  • From Silent Wounds to Sacred Freedom

    From Silent Wounds to Sacred Freedom

    Some wounds don’t start and end with a single moment. Some start in childhood, before we even have the words for what is happening, before we understand boundaries, before we know how to protect ourselves, and sometimes they carry into adulthood.  Something I learned the hard way, is that unhealed wounds don’t just disappear with…

  • Don’t Look Back

    Don’t Look Back

    Don’t Look Back: Twenty-five years. A quarter century. Looking back, it is hard to see the woman I was—or maybe more accurately, the girl. She was so broken, so addicted, feeling unworthy and unlovable, convinced she was damaged in a way that could never be repaired. She tried to take her life twice, once at…

  • When God Closes a Door

    When God Closes a Door

    A year can change everything. I’m standing in a place today that I never planned to be a year ago—not because I ran from something, not because something went wrong, but because God closed a door I wasn’t expecting Him to close. For a long season, I was serving faithfully in a role I loved.…

  • Following Jesus may cost you something. Not following Jesus may cost you everything.

    Following Jesus may cost you something. Not following Jesus may cost you everything.

    Being a follower of Jesus in today’s world is not clean, polished, or easy. It’s messy. It’s costly. It’s confusing sometimes. And yet, it is the most life-giving, soul-steadying, hope-filled path I’ve ever known. I don’t stand here as someone who has it all together. I stand here as someone who has tried to do…
