Have you ever been driving, then look around and think, “How did I get here?” Have you ever looked around in your life and thought, “How did I get here?” I talked about how we want a word from God, but often miss the way He speaks to us in a previous blog. Samuel knows… Continue reading Hear I Am
“What a friend we have…” you know the old gospel song. It’s about Jesus. But it made me think about my own friends. The ones I have now and the ones I have had in different seasons of my life. You know the kind of friends I love most? The ones who are not like… Continue reading Love Like Jesus
“Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?” Have you been asked this question while driving to your destination? Maybe you’re the one usually asking this question. My 4 year old doesn’t ask this yet, but the dialogue that takes place in the car as we commute to school, appointments, or… Continue reading Jesus on the Radio
We are big on going for walks around here. We walk to the pond. We walk to check on the cows. We walk to the mailbox. We walk to visit family. We also discovered that, apart from the educational value our walks have, this exercise also serves to expend some of the energy from our… Continue reading Slithering Serpents
Yall, I've been complaining all week. I know you've been there. Too much to do, too little time. I thought about just throwing my hands up and calling it a day. It's just not in my nature to do so.

There have been more than enough showers around here, even… Continue reading Tethered to the Teacher
If you don’t get the job. If you don't get to go. If you don’t see success in this season. If the miracle doesn't come. If the diagnosis doesn't change. If the circumstances don't get better. He is still good. That’s not to say that this doesn’t cause a lot of fear. Fear what we… Continue reading And if not, He is still good
This is what my brother-in-law Josh used to say all the time. It means something like, goodbye or stay cool. Contentment. Isn't this the thing we long for the most? Nothing that rocks the boat too much or makes people think you are different. Luke 10:4 says, “Do not take a purse or bag or… Continue reading Peace
I will only sing your praise. I wrote these words on my hands. I wrote this on little scraps of paper I carried in the pocket of my scrubs. I reached into my pocket and felt the words resonate in my soul while the waves of anxiety rolled over me. I wrote it over and… Continue reading Why’d You Start A Blog?
I’m just working for the weekend. If I hurry up and get it done now, I can relax later. If I don’t do it, who will? Have you found yourself thinking these things lately? In a world of go, go, go, and do, do, do – it becomes a badge of honor we wear proudly.… Continue reading Martha, Martha, Martha
