It’s almost fall already! Where has the time gone? I hope you had a wonderful summer! While praying on what the Holy Spirit would have me write this week, He spoke what was my life message a few years ago. One I have not yet shared the blog. Jesus + Nothing. A few years ago,…
TAKE A MOMENT
Growing up a church girl, I’ve known all my life that Jesus died for my sins. Yet, the knowledge of that fact can become too common. The Sunday school stories too sweet. In reality, Jesus didn’t just die quickly for our sins. He was tortured, pierced, mocked, ridiculed by past followers and betrayed by close…
HE KNOWS BEST
Just this past weekend, I was blessed to visit for the first time, the gorgeous island of Nantucket. It took my breath away to say the least. From the dreamy harbor filled with boats to the rich purple, pink and blue hydrangeas that graced each home and street. Surrounding this island full of hidden treasure…
IT’S NOT FAIR
Just yesterday, I was having coffee with a friend at our favorite spot, Sola. I just returned from my trip to California and she just returned from a summer tour of Europe. I was sharing with her that I experienced one of the most powerful nights, on one particular night of my trip. While visiting…
CHARACTER REVEALED
We all have those people in our lives, that we can only take in small doses. When we spend time with them we suddenly “become someone else.” Our default reaction is to blame that challenging person. Or situations that really cause us to feel or react negatively. But the truth is, that person or situation…
RELATABLE JESUS
Is it just me or do you have a grand idea of God I think of Him in all His glory, on the throne, surrounded by angels worshipping Him 24/7. As if he is in heaven and I’m on earth, unreachable. Even in my most intimate moments with Him, it’s hard to see Him as…
THE DRIVE
How many Warriors fans do we have here Being a Bay Area girl, I was pumped this past Monday night when they won the finals championship vs. the Cavs. It was such a fun game to watch, LeBron + Kyrie are amazing as well. I like a good game in general. I recently, read an…
CAPACITY TO LOVE
I like to think that I love everyone. As long as I’m living comfortably unoffended then it’s easy to convince myself. Whereas we naturally choose friends based on common interests, seasons in life and how they benefit us, God chooses differently. When you truly allow Him free reign to select exactly who he wants in…
DESIRE WISDOM
We all make foolish moves, mistakes we wish we could do-over. The word wisdom commonly defines someone older, gray-haired and that has learned from their mistakes. Yet, the bible says to desire wisdom and your days will go good for you. In the story of King Solomon, David’s son, God approached Him and offered Him…
LIFE ALTER-ING
Recently, I attended my favorite annual conference 212 in South Carolina. I always come expectant and always leave charged. There the Holy Spirit really spoke to me about coming to the alter. He has been really trying to get my attention lately, well for years now, to press in. When he began to tell me…
