    We’ve Been Lied To!

    We’ve been lied to….life is not always going to do what we want. Things are not going to turn out always as we had hoped. We are going to go through things that are too much for us! In many faith-based circles there is a lie circulating that if you just believe in God, you’ll…

    THE THINGS WE CALL WORSHIP [Pt. 2 The Essence of Worship Series]

    If I asked you the question, “What is worship?”, what would your answer be? Go ahead, think about it….would it be singing? Dancing? Praying? Meditation? Serving the poor and needy? Loving one another? I’m aware, it’s a loaded question, but so are the answers. Because, you see, worship is ALL those things and so much…

  • Desolate Places (When God Leads You Into the Wilderness)

    des·o·late adjective adjective: desolate 1. (of a place) deserted of people and in a state of bleak and dismal emptiness. It seems that God might be partial to the desolate places.

  • Our Great Need to Lose Ourselves

    There is a real need in our world to know God. The need is not great just in the world but in our churches. We preach and proclaim the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob  and Jesus, but rarely are we in touch with that God.

  • When You’re Nobody

    When You’re Nobody

    (My blog today may not seem very encouraging. It’s my attempt to be known and my reaching out to others who might be in the same place as me. You are not alone!!) Have you ever felt like nobody? Invisible? Unseen? Unknown? Have you ever felt like the world is moving forward without you? Without…

  • “Present over Perfect”© is No Easy Path But a Must to Living a Healthy Life

    Today began a long overdue re-read of the book PRESENT OVER PERFECT by Shauna Neiquist. If you’ve ever read the book you know it is a breath of fresh air and even more, it’s like a kiss from prince charming for a princess caught in a deep sleep of over performance and disconnection from her own heart…

  • The Making of a Warrior

    The Making of a Warrior

    Is it possible that you are living, right now, in an answer to a desperate prayer you prayed? A prayer you whispered or fervently cried out to God with tears and burning in your heart to be molded into the image of Christ? 

  • Seasons

    Seasons

    “To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven.” Ecclesiastes 3:1 NKJV   As we anticipate the coming of fall…come quickly, my heart is stirred toward winter, my favorite season. A time when all is quiet and at rest. The stillness is healing to my soul. And yet as the natural season…

  • In the Shadow of the Almighty

    Psalms 91:1‭-‬16 NKJV He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord , “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler And…
