Walking with God, Digesting Scripture and Pointing Others to Grow Deeper in their Faith
When I was young, having just connected with God, I struggled with knowing how to love God. I’d sing a song in church and feel like I wasn’t being truthful because I knew I didn’t love God like I loved my family. This bothered me and I prayed. It was a beautiful moment when I... Continue Reading →
Yes, God is just. God is the ultimate ruler and none of us are able to stand up to God. Justice rolling down like waters, a gushing force we cannot control. God will eventually make it all right. Justice will happen but it won’t happen in our earthly life. Some things we will see while... Continue Reading →
We live in a society that wants everything right now, immediate gratification. This isn’t how our relationship with God works. Just when I think I can’t take it anymore God gives me just what I need. God isn’t some vending machine that we pepper with petitions to enhance what we want in our lives. Waiting... Continue Reading →
Do not be mistaken! The Christian life is one of suffering. We do not belong here. This is our Hell, but our Heaven is on the way. This life is the worst it will get for those of us who are believers. This life is as good as it gets for the one who does... Continue Reading →

I’m blessed to have the kind of friends who... Continue Reading →
While doing housework the other day I glanced outside and saw something of concern. One of my chickens was on the other side of my fence, outside the lines of safety. I live downtown so her greatest danger might be a car or a loose dog. We’d been letting them out to have more time... Continue Reading →
It’s New Years Day. Welcome 2021! We’re ready for newness. We’re weary of the old that’s weighed us down in 2020. GOOD NEWS!!! There’s a much greater newness than just passing through the new year! The moment I gave myself to God I transformed, I morphed, I mutated, I converted, I remodeled, I revolutionized into... Continue Reading →
I hate being lost! For me it’s a feeling of the unknown, of possible oncoming danger and insecurity. We all have stories before we had navigation systems of driving around trying to find our way. I even recall arguments in the car over which way we should go next while we were on vacation in... Continue Reading →
