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 […]
Your Work Can Make An Impact
Today I encountered an old man, whom I will call “The Grocery Store Preacher.” I observed as he joyously walked around the grocery store lifting the spirits of individuals, sharing good words and always looking for another to inspire. I smiled and thought how even in the smallest form, he is doing what God called […]
Letting God Create New Spaces in Our Lives
What new spaces have we allowed God to create in our lives? Today was such a great day – a new day – because God created an opportunity for us to reclaim overused garage space and to get some things hauled away. We often store up things in the spaces that we have (physical, emotional, […]
Letting God Be Your Encourager
The Lord is not slack concerning His promises toward us. This morning as I looked out my kitchen window, there was such a sense of newness to the day – a sense of encouragement filled the air.

I remember putting in things like eggshells and coffee grounds, adding a […]
A Godly Standard of Love that Gives What Has Been Given to Us
The world looks for ways to define God’s love, often seeking measures to apply it to our understanding. But, it is written in scripture how God defines His love for us and how we must faithfully respond to it with obedience and with care (1 John 3:1-24; 1 John 4:4-21). Walking in the Spirit of […]
The Efforts of Preserving Our Faith
Proverbs 4:23 tells us to keep thy heart with all diligence, for out of it flows the issues of life. 2 Peter 3:14 shares for us to make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him. There is something to be said about preserving our faith. It is important that we […]
Choosing God and Becoming Responsive to His Perfect Will
Serving God requires discipline and a desire to be free from sin. It calls us to a new place of identity to: 1) speak with the words of God, and 2) serve with the strength of God. It causes us to question our earthly motives and lay them aside for the will of God to […]
