Crossroads: In the Middle, What Do You Choose?

As I am sitting here in the middle of a situation for which I am just waiting for God to provide a solution, I am frustrated. I am frustrated with myself for oscillating between feeling good about my choices to stand up for what I believe to be right and feeling bad for the choicesContinue reading “Crossroads: In the Middle, What Do You Choose?”

A Covering

The older I get, the more and more I realize just how cool plants are. I’m not quite what I’d call a crazy plant lady, but the more and more I learn about plants, the more I see how full of analogies and lessons plants are. The other day as I was on a walk,Continue reading “A Covering”

Something is Always Blooming…

Every summer my family takes a trip down to spend a week in Florida, which has become a really special time and place for us as we make more and more memories there each year. In reflecting on the trip we just took, I wanted to share a lesson from my great-Grandma Sara that hasContinue reading “Something is Always Blooming…”

If You Don’t Quit, You Win: Dealing with Disappointment and the Answer You Didn’t Expect

Rooted in Christ: I Hope You Dance

Ed and I were blessed to have gotten to go on a little get away trip this weekend.

We were very excited to finally go to this secluded cabin, as we were eagerContinue reading “Rooted in Christ: I Hope You Dance”

Because I Said So…

Because I said so. When I type the words above, the first thing I think of is that my teachers always told me to never start a sentence with because. Then I actually start to think about the words themselves and the times I’ve heard them either spoken to me or when I’ve felt entitledContinue reading “Because I Said So…”

The Waiting Game…

Something so lost in our society today is the ability to wait. We are so used to getting everything so quickly, with Amazon packages on our doorstep within 2 days of ordering, food coming right out of the drive-thru window within a few minutes with hardly any work on our part, and possibly the worstContinue reading “The Waiting Game…”

Fighting Hurry, Staying Grounded

I’ve started a new thing now that I have a longer commute where I listen to one podcast each morning to help the time go by more quickly. Yesterday, I started a new podcast called “Fight Hustle, End Hurry”. It was so timely and convicting…if you have time you should 100% listen to it, especiallyContinue reading “Fighting Hurry, Staying Grounded”

Great Unknown: Faith Without Borders

If you have 9 minutes and 36 seconds of time that you could set aside, I would so encourage you to just be still and listen to this song. I know for me and many others it’s a familiar one, but the words just hit differently for me this time and I have a feelingContinue reading “Great Unknown: Faith Without Borders”

Goodbye, Egypt!!!

Oh man. I have just been completely wrecked this morning reading about the Israelites and specifically, about Moses. I wanted to share that with you. I pray you read it with an open heart, an open mind, and allow God to just move within your heart. I believe He has something for you today ifContinue reading “Goodbye, Egypt!!!”
