Rest
There is a kind of tired that sleep does not fully fix. The body can lie down, the lights can be turned off, the room can grow quiet, and still the soul can feel restless. There are seasons when exhaustion goes deeper than muscles and bones. It settles into the mind. It weighs on the…

Faith of a mustard seed
How big would you rate your faith today? I’ve often thought that my level of faith must be significant since after taking a test years ago, I discovered it was my spiritual gift. I really did believe that it could never be shaken. Without sounding prideful, I was often confident that nothing could ever change…

Where is God in the in-between?
Do you have a “life verse” from the Bible? You know, a verse or passage in the scriptures that speaks directly to you? My life verse is Jeremiah 29:11-14. You may have heard it before. v. 11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and…

The Goliath Factor

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…

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…
