Philippians 4:6 Prayer

Why pray? Have you ever asked yourself this in the midst of the pain, loss and confusion of this world? You ask, seek, knock (Matthew 7:7) and still don’t find the doors you want opening. Your requests are still not being answered in the way you pray them. Then again, a journey of faith, I’m [...]

Still in love with Psalm 46:10.

In the moments when you are still, you are receiving. In the moments when you are still, you are listening. In the stillness, you are relinquishing control. In the stillness, you find rest. From the beginning, it seems…when you read God’s story, He didn’t create us for 6 days of stillness and 1 day of [...]

You are a 2 Corinthians 3:3 letter

If your life was a letter to others, how would it read? God’s Word tells you, as a believer in His New Covenant, that your unveiled face reveals the power of the Holy Spirit. God’s not ashamed of you. He gave you everything, so that your life could be an invitation to His grace. Your [...]

By His Philippians 4:13 Strength

Philippians 4:13 has spoken itself to me time and time again this season, as a multitude of believers are requesting this jewel of a verse be hand-stamped on their MTG pieces. What’s so awesome about its potential is that it invites a celebration of the glory revealed in our weakness, not our conquests. A pastor’s [...]

Listen Like 1 Samuel 3:10

I ran this morning with a singular mission. To stop crowding my mind with noise so that I could listen for the voice of the One who restores. I made a promise to hush my internal generator and listen for the Lord. My reasons for this were many, one in particular being the book: The [...]

Luke 1 Shows God’s Possibilities

Have you ever wondered: why was it impossible for God to remove Jesus’ cup of suffering in the garden? Why He doesn’t just fix the things of life that irritate and depress you, when “all things are possible with God?” Recently, I received a tiny and delicate answer from an unexpected source while on a [...]

John 7:38 Satisfies

If you’re like me, you used to think everything could somehow make sense eventually. But as you’ve matured, you’ve discovered that even the most excruciatingly detailed scientific exploration reveals only that we must continue in faith. Faith that we get to keep on breathing because there are miracles everywhere that we don’t fully understand. Take [...]

Teens are 1 Cor 6:19-20 Temples, Too.

Have you ever realized that, although human, you are a Holy temple? God’s Word reminds us that by faith in Jesus, we are purified and esteemed. Valued highly enough to be inhabited by His renewing, forgiving, redeeming Spirit. It’s often tough for tweens and teens who are tempted by so many distractions to see themselves [...]

Taking 3 John 4 To Heart

When you hear a verse from several places, it’s likely God is whispering a truth into your heart. One that has shown itself to me lately is 3 John 4: I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth. This verse can either rest easy on the tender [...]

Jeremiah 29:11

God tells you personally, in His book of Truth, which is the Living Word, that there are divine plans for your life. Recently, I enjoyed the privilege of designing a custom Jeremiah 29:11 ensemble for a wonderful woman who wishes to encourage those on her Thirty-One Gifts team that God has a powerfully good plan [...]

Wait on the Lord.

You know you can even be in a business of talking with people about why specific scripture is meaningful…hand-stamping His truths onto bright sparkling wearables…always ready and willing by faith to testify…and still be caught off guard by our God’s gorgeous timing. This Mother’s Day weekend I have been carrying around in my heart conflicting [...]

True Life.

Questions accompany faith. And lucky for you, those questions sometimes are yours to hold. Offered by those who ask: but how could your God allow all this evil? Or, if other religions are flourishing, how do you know yours is right? Oftentimes, even the most courageously faithful fall short of anything other than the hope [...]

Who Can Find A Proverbs 31 Woman?

You can. I can. Anyone can who has the blessing of meeting Tanya Cauthorne, Senior Director with Thirty-One, a faith-based company that celebrates, encourages and rewards women with the God-given gift of business ownership and discipleship in one unique experience. Does it take a special something to shine with the long-burning lamp of a Proverbs [...]

Dandelion Perspective.

Bicycling down a comfortably bumpy dirt path just beyond the sidewalk with my son, I noticed the new dandelions. For whatever God’s reason is, in the way He designed my heart…I always notice the dandelions. The way they cheerfully decorate the outskirts of high school football fields like memories. How they mirror a proud homage [...]

Oh, Honey.

In his encouraging book, The Bumps Are What You Climb On, Warren Wiersbe explains that one of God’s many promises to His children is that He will satisfy us with “honey out of the rock.” One of the sweetest substances nature can produce is contrasted here against one of the hardest…both symbolizing our realities of [...]

Trust Prevails.

Just ask Job. I had the transforming privilege of attending my delightful friend Sharon’s church this Sunday and being washed by the passionate praise music and sermon delivered around the power of Job 13:15. After singing, clapping and exclaiming the strength of Psalm 91, the congregation gathered our souls around Rev. Angelo Chatmon as he [...]

God’s Love Is Forever.

Hugging my two children goodbye yesterday evening, as my husband prepared to take them to his sister’s for an overnight stay as our 16th wedding anniversary gift, I had that same familiar conflict of not wanting their youthful vigor to vacate, while very much wanting the time alone with my groom. Actually, every time they [...]
