Finding Joy in God’s Presence
The promise, “You will fill me with joy in your presence,” perfectly captures the heart of worship. When we intentionally pause and draw close to God, He pours out His love, hope, and peace—gifts that bring true and lasting joy. This relationship forms a sacred, unbroken circle, but it depends on our willingness to enter…

Asking for a Friend, Lord…
Why cancer, Lord? Is there not an easier way to die? I mean, seriously, rounds of fire through the veins and then pointed directly at the spot. I don’t doubt you have a purpose. But my friend doesn’t seem to understand. So, I’m asking for a friend. Lord, why do you take people at what…
Dear Mom & Dad
Life is not the same without you. I understand it was your time to go, but I needed more time. I needed a little more conversation. I needed one more hug. I still need those things, but life goes on even when you wish it could stand still. There are so many things that have…
Rebel Without Cause
Yes, I am aware the movie title is “Rebel Without A Cause”, but that is not what I am writing about. As a parent, you look at your child differently than you do other children, right? Do you judge other parents by their child’s actions? Every child is rebellious at some point, some are rebellious…
Easter…
Oh how our Christian holidays have changed. We invented a fat man to bring gifts to our children, instead of celebrating the birthday of our Savior. We then added a bunny to bring baskets of candy & stuff to our children, instead of celebrating the gift of sacrifice Christ gave to us. Why? Is it…
A Love Story…
When you think of a love story, what comes to mind? Romeo & Juliet, of course. Maybe your own love story is note-worthy. But do you think of God and His love story for us? Valentine’s Day has come and gone. How did you celebrate? Did you get flowers, jewelry, or candy? Did you celebrate…
Commitments…Hmmm…
We all have them, commitments. But what happens when you have too many? Or you do not have the right mindset to handle the ones you have before you taken on more? How do you respectfully decline a new commitment? What if it was a commitment you felt God leading you to do? Hmmm… “Go…
Oh Peter
It is the season of focusing on the journey to the cross. But today I find myself thinking about Peter. Peter, the source of such faith. Peter, the man who understood who Jesus was and still denied him. Peter was called to follow Jesus and become fishers of men. (Luke 5:3-11) We find him fishing…
Missing In Action…
October 2018 was a trying time in my life. My mammogram came back with something abnormal. This is nothing new for me, but things seemed different from the start. I wrote about it for weeks on end (or at least it seemed that way). Wait six months and start the process over. Six months of…
Chasing God
This is the last week of a Bible Study that started in January. The study was “Chase Study, Chasing after the heart of God” by Jennie Allen. In wrapping up, it asked the question, “what has most convicted you while studying the life of David?” As I read the question and the ones that came…
