I know what your thinking but not fat as in too many burgers and shakes, trust me on that ha but fat as in Faithful Available Teachable. I remember watching Billy Graham’s funeral live earlier this year and His son spoke up saying he was FAT. This was a man like no other, faithful, free…
STAY STEADY
The Holy Spirit spoke clearly to me today as I was reading the story of Paul and His shipwreck. When stranded, the native islanders welcomed Him along with His crew and showed them kindness. Raining and cold they were sitting by the fire when suddenly a viper jumped out of the wood and latched onto…
TAKE IT PERSONAL
Does the thought of digging into the bible seem overwhelming? Sometimes feel impersonal? That was me in the past. It was not easy to take these God stories from long ago and have them relate to my current struggles. That was until God showed me differently. That He is the same yesterday, today and forever…
DOES NOT DISAPPOINT
As we sit here in-flight to Canada, the Holy Spirit is speaking to me on an unpopular subject, the necessity of perseverance. We by nature resist it. We want life pretty much quick and easy. Yet, He tells us that in order to become mature and ready for our calling there is testing. Not only…
SOUL FOOD
Don’t you love a good breakfast? It’s been far too long since I’ve enjoyed bacon, eggs + hash browns in the am. My quick and easy go-to is Ezekiel bread toast. Toast topped with a variety of toppings and a good cup o’ joe. But really the most important meal of the day is soul…
LEARNING TO CONNECT
I miss the days growing up when genuine connection was easy and familiar. There were no smart phones or social media. People met up for coffee to catch up, laugh together and eye contact was comfortable. Now sadly, people are glued to their phones and other technology has taken the place of real human connection….
UNWAVERING HOPE
All God’s promises are so so good. Every one of them true and constant. We live in a world that is constantly changing yet there is one hope that we can count on time and time again. The unwavering hope we have in Christ never disappoints and never changes. No other person or thing can…
FREEDOM RINGS
Happy 4th! I am such a patriotic, All American girl, proud and always so grateful to live in this beautiful country. I’ve traveled the world and even with its flaws, there is no greater place. Yet, even greater than the freedoms of America is the freedom Christ sacrificed to give us. The freedom He offers…
OUR DEFENDER
We all have been there, where someone says something untrue or does something unjust. Our immediate response is to get emotionally wound and defend ourselves. I know for me I have always been quick to defend and fight for myself when someone had it “all wrong.” A few years ago when God started to do…
ALL OUR HEART
We are always being lured by something in our lives. Even good blessings can seem to fill voids that God is meant to fill. You see, we were created to have that God-shaped void that only He can fill. We are meant to chase Jesus. As Mick Jagger sings, “Can’t get no satisfaction.” This is…
