Wholeness happens when you realize you are nothing without God but everything with God. For in him we live and move and have our being…

Your brokenness doesn’t make you worth less, it makes you worth more. Your brokenness is what allows God’s light to shine through. That’s the beauty of brokenness...

There are moments in life when our world stops, but for most of those around us, life goes on.  It can feel insensitive and uncaring, but it’s the way of the world. There are too many traumas in the world on a daily basis for everyone to stop. Things must keep moving, otherwise life would cease to exist.

I told some friends earlier this summer that I keep hearing people talk this year about being in a season, and I keep thinking how I’ve been in a “season” for several years. Every time I’m starting to see the light - boom - a rockslide & a detour...

Over the past several years, there have been many times when my world has been shaken and my faith tested. Times when I didn’t know if my faith would prove to be unshakable. I recall at one point even saying to my husband that perhaps my faith wasn’t as strong as I thought it was.

Lately I’ve been thinking about songs we sang in children’s church when I was young. Songs such as: "Jesus loves me, this I know...

As my son and I traveled out of town for his surgical consultation this morning, we drove through a thick fog for almost the entire trip. The fog circled all around us preventing any view of the surrounding landscape. Visibility was so limited that we could barely see the road in front of us. Any cars ahead were only visible as we came right up on them, so we had to drive a little slower. It’s a strange feeling driving in something like that. It’s hard to get your bearings and to know where you are. And if you didn’t know any better, it could seem as if you’d drive…

After I wrote “don’t get caught sleeping” at the end of my Facebook post yesterday, I thought about how the disciples fell asleep when Jesus asked them to pray. As recounted in Matthew 26, Mark 14, and Luke 22, Jesus went to pray right before his arrest leading up to his crucifixion. He asked his disciples to wait, watch, and pray, but they kept falling asleep. Not once, not twice, but three times. Note these words Jesus spoke upon returning from praying the first time and finding the disciples asleep, “What! Could you not watch with Me one hour? Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed…

In a world full of darkness, the smallest light can make the biggest difference. So don’t hide your light just because you think it doesn’t shine bright enough. Be like the firefly, and shine on. “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬ ‭(NKJV‬‬)

Babies don’t come out of the womb running. Before they can run, they have to learn how to walk. Before they can walk, they have to learn how to stand. And before they can stand, they have to learn how to sit. It’s the same in our spiritual lives. We must learn to sit before we can stand. Then comes the walking and running. Yet sometimes we try to skip ahead to the running part. No wonder we end up losing our balance and falling flat on our faces. And if we don’t want to keep loosing our footing, we have to learn to sit. Sit still in God’s presence.…
