Picture This…

I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. (Jeremiah 31:33) It is said that “a picture is worth a thousand words”, and that proves to be true as “memes” have taken over social media. Reading anything of...

Righteousness Found Only in Your Face

“Righteousness, found only in Your face You see my heart, You extend Your grace” Those are two of my favorite lines in the song Never Going Back by United Pursuit, and they’re lyrics the Lord started to unpack with me lately. It has been a bit of a dry season for me recently. Not living...

Diving Deep

As a parent of five children, which range from ages sixteen to six months, I have had my share of going through a variety of milestones in life thus far. Some have been joyful tears while other times have been tears of sadness. In May, I was able to go to Florida and see the...

Do I HAVE to?

Sunday morning. The alarm goes off sounding like the whistle on a freight train. The sun peering through the trees just landing above your nose as you struggle to peek through your tired eyes.

Hide or Seek?

One of God’s greatest blessings in my life has always been the children he has given me provision over.

You Have to Choose

A man cannot serve two masters… (Matthew 6:24) Those are the words the Lord planted in my head on a Sunday morning when Pastor Gary was teaching out of Matthew 9, a passage that does not include – and has little to do with – that verse at all. So, acknowledging that the Lord had...
