A few years ago the Lord started showing me a verse to keep in my mind and heart for the year ahead. I write it on a note card and put it on the windowsill in front of my computer at my desk. I don’t always know up front why that particular verse will be…

Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will not fail you nor abandon you. Deuteronomy 31:8 A new year can be full of so many emotions. Relief for making it through the previous year. Excitement for what the new year will…

I’m a planner. I like to map out the course of my days and check things off my list. This time of year many of us make plans. We set goals, resolutions, intentions, dreams…whatever you like to call them. Plans and goals are good. They keep us focused, they keep us on track. So when…

I used to believe in Jesus. In my house while I was growing up it was just a given. Jesus was the Son of God, He died on the cross, and rose from the dead in 3 days. I didn’t question any of the stories I was told from the Bible. I believed that those…

The Bible is full of stories of people who were filled with the Holy Spirit and performed amazing works for the Lord. As believers this is our desire and our goal as well. But how do we open our hearts to the power of the Holy Spirit and allow him to move freely within and…

I recently had the opportunity to speak at the Mother Daughter Brunch at my church. These are the thoughts I shared about bees. Bees aren’t really beautiful like butterflies, or sweet like ladybugs.
