I started my morning with coffee. I grinded it (well, my husband did), then placed my coffee grounds in my clever dripper. I also made my husband and me an omelet as I began my day. I entered my office and pulled out my daily planner. These are the task assignments that the Lord has […]

Committed to the Finish
Starting fresh and new is sometimes what we want to do – a start over, per se. But think with me for a moment: what work has God commissioned you to do that you’ve already begun, and are you fully committed to the finish? Beginning at the starting line is easy: all you have to […]
Experience God’s Intended Purpose for You in this Season
Sometimes you feel like you can’t move, and it’s for good reason. God is holding you still. Allow yourself to experience God’s intended purpose in this season. At times you may feel as though you should be moving, but in these moments you will find you’re right where God wants you to be. Be still, […]
What Does God Want Us to See in This Season?
Change. To see if our hearts can truly be changed towards Him. Love. To serve the Lord with gladness and to love Him wholeheartedly. Worship. To turn our ears towards Heaven, listen for the Lord, and respond in Truth. Wisdom. Accept the Lord’s guidance. Hear His Voice; seek Him; acknowledge Him; and serve His Will. […]

God’s Joy Within and Around Us
Today I experienced the joy of the Lord in many different experiences: Resting in the Lord’s presence Observing a bird perched atop trees Enjoying a bright and beautiful Ethiopian coffee while watching my dog frolic in the sun Receiving and reconnecting with a classic novel, The Secret Garden Dinner and a Medieval-themed TV series Finishing […]
It Will Turn Out Just Fine
This blog post started out as a simple recipe to share, but midway through, the Lord changed course to speak directly to you. Earlier today after my prayer time, an immense feeling of worry twice came over me, and I began to question where this could be coming from. “What are you afraid of? What is […]
Become Optimistic About Your Future
It’s OK to be optimistic about your future, because better days can be ahead. Psalm 30:5b tells us that weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. The Lord is writing a new chapter, and you should walk forward optimistically into it. So allow yourself to remain hopeful, and look for […]
With God’s Strength, Overcome, and Walk into New Spaces!
When you look back and see the places that you have walked through, you realize that there is nothing you can’t overcome with God’s strength. As my husband and I reflected together this evening, we recalled some of our hard health challenges and their experiences and how the Lord not only walked us through but […]
