Some days I just don’t know what to write. So many thoughts swirling, but not much coming together. So instead of trying to put together a bunch of my words, today let’s just dwell on Christ’s. Matthew 5:2-12 2 And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying:3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for... Continue Reading →
Sometimes I wonder if I’ve learned anything from my physical frustrations. Sometimes I wonder why my body feels much older than it is. Sometimes I wonder if anything good has come from the place of discomfort, pain, and fear. But good things have come. I’ve learned. Slowly, but still. Progress is good. One thing I’ve...

This poem was written by my sister and fit well for the Easter season. Hope you enjoy it! 🙂 I was born into very lowly means. I came to a world that did not receive Me. I healed the sick, the blind, the lame. But this was not my purpose; this was not why I... Continue Reading →
The other response the Holy Spirit brings about is faith or belief. What and Who we are believing in matters. The Bible says that even the demons believe [in God] and shudder, (James 2:19) and we know that they are not saved. The belief that God is real, Jesus came to earth, or even that...

Honestly, I’ve never really thought about it much before. I mean, I know I don’t really believe in superstition, but I’m also not anxious to walk... Continue Reading →
You know the seasons of life where you’re waiting on God and you balance between peace and worry? Some days it’s hard to tell our hearts what to believe. So here’s a “cheat sheet” with exactly what we can cling to when we wait. We Cling to God’s Character. God is forgiving, and abounding in... Continue Reading →
I feel like I have spent a good part of my Christian life waiting on God. That’s not a bad thing, but it can be a hard thing.
