Unfailing Love
Psalm 36:7 How priceless is your unfailing love, O God! People take refuge in the shadow of your wings. Take a minute and let the truth of these words shield you and supply you with strength. Allow the promise of God's words to become your truth and stronghold. Now...
The Basket Case
Happy Monday to all! I saw an interesting thought on a church sign this weekend. It caused me to pause and take time to reflect on its meaning. The church sign said "Hang in there- even Moses was a basket case once. Another week is beginning and the thought of...
When the Mundane Becomes More
My Laundry Story Wash, spin, dry.. wash, spin, dry… Ordinary days, Ordinary nights, wash, spin, dry! When will our days become more? When will the ordinary become extraordinary? Just as doing laundry has a predictable routine, our lives can also feel much the same....
I Believe!
I believe - do you believe? For many years I carried the burden of self-doubt and I will admit there are still moments when it tries to sneak back in. I have focused on what the world believes about me instead of what God believes about me. I have compared my worth to...

The Snake Charmer
Lions, tigers and bears, oh my! You all have heard that familiar chant. What would happen if you added "snake" to that phrase? A week ago I was doing just that! However, it was not a happy go lucky, skipping down the road kind of song sung by Dorothy and friends from...
Radical Obedience = Radical Blessings!
Many times saying "yes to God" takes everything in you to follow through. It feels like holding onto a toy with all your might because you believe "It's mine!" We like to win and we like to come out on top. Hmmm! That is what God wants for us too but we need to...
