As I get older, I have become more and more reflective of every aspect of my life. How am I spending my time? What message am I sending with my life? How am I as a wife, mother, sister, friend, etc.? There are so many questions. However, I have very few answers to any ofContinue reading “All to Him”

Prayer for Direction
Father, Thank you for loving us unconditionally. Thank you for sending your son, Jesus, to die on the cross for our sins. We ask that you forgive us for our trespasses. Help us to forgive and those who have trespassed against us. Give us a heart that hungers and thirsts after your righteousness. Fill usContinue reading “Prayer for Direction”
The Power of Community
I will be the first to admit. Sometimes, I do NOT like people. They are messy and chaotic. They can be fickle and wishy-washy. They can even be too much at times. Honestly, the older I get, the more I’ve come to enjoy my own company and have become quite selective about who I giveContinue reading “The Power of Community”
A Prayer for Graduates
Dear Father, We come to you on behalf of every graduate. Lord, we know that you have a divine purpose and plan for them. We thank you for the path that lies before each graduate. Your word says that you have plans of prosperity and not harm. You plan to give them a hope andContinue reading “A Prayer for Graduates”
You Are
From light breaking through the darkness of night, To the wind that gently breezes and guides a child’s kite. From the heartbeat at conception as a sign of new life, To milk in the breast of a mother whose infant holds tight. From every inhale and exhale as a our lungs breath in and out,Continue reading “You Are”
Trust His Plans
All of my life, I have been a planner and an overachiever. By the time I was in high school, I had at least the 20 years of my life mapped out. I would graduate from high school, attend a 4-year university, go to medical school, and become an Ob/Gyn. Thereafter, I would buy aContinue reading “Trust His Plans”
Wait on the Lord
Since leaving my job of 17 years in August 2018, I have been in a time of waiting. I have not been given instructions about my next career move or even if I will even return to my field. Although I have done several temporary jobs over the last few years, in the meantime, I’veContinue reading “Wait on the Lord”
How Are You Living?
Last week, my sweet husband, asked me a very important question. He asked,”If you knew you were going to die soon, what would you do?” My mind immediately started to ponder the question. How would I live? What would I do differently? How would I decide to spend the rest of my time? All ofContinue reading “How Are You Living?”
A River Runs Through
Bring all your sorrow, your guilt, and your pain, Bring all your burdens, your fears, and your chains. Bring your disappointment and even every sin, Bring it all. It doesn’t matter what shape you are in. Release, exhale, drop, let everything go, Because the answer is near and soon it shall flow. Full of allContinue reading “A River Runs Through”
Trust Him
This morning, I thank God for continuing to confirm His plan for my life. I just want to encourage you today. If God tells you to do something, do it regardless of how crazy it seems or how you/others may feel about it. Be wise. Every opportunity that sounds good may not be what GodContinue reading “Trust Him”
