LOST AND FOUND
You name it –I have lost it! That is the story of my life. If it is not my keys, it is my phone. If it is not my phone, then it is a gift I bought early and hid for "safe-keeping." Careless? Maybe. Distracted? Definitely. Frazzled? Yes, that is the word I am looking...
The Secret of Life
My prayer for you is that God will grant you the desire, power, and courage to center your life around seeking to abide in Him and that you will go all-in wholeheartedly. And through this process, may your abiding in Him yield lasting fruit so that others will want what you have and see the glory of God shining in and through you.
Look Up!
A couple of weeks ago, I was coaching my 13-year-old volleyball team when the Lord revealed something to me through one of my players. One of the players shanked a ball high up into the air, and this player freaked out, started spinning in circles while looking at the...

The Cost of Your Praise
We love Jesus best when we love the people He loves. They may not look, act, or believe like us, but if we love Him like we say we do, then we become the perfumed oil that fills their lives with the fragrance of Christ.

God is Bigger
Fifteen years ago, the Holy Spirit made a deep impression in my spirit with the following passage: "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding." Proverbs 3:5 (KJV) My husband had been in the hospital for the second time in two...
Roots Down and Fruit Up
