deeper love still
I’ve been doubting God’s love for me. It all started at a worship night about a month ago. After receiving prayer over ministries turning into prayer over my sight, I walked back to my seat, redirecting my thoughts and attention back to worship. As the music played, in my head I saw the cover of…

at the foot of the broom bush / even if it’s crawling
Fun fact: I love how detailed the Lord is to include specific trees through out the Bible. I tend to like my books full of the juicy deets. Make those sentences the length of three paragraphs, please. I want to read and be entering into what I’m reading. I want the perfect words as the…

Finding your people.
Unpopular opinion: I think we undercut the importance of identifying our people. For a while, I felt guilty for building close friendships. I know that sounds absolutely ridiculous, but let me explain a bit. I was under the impression that being a Christian in one body meant showing no favoritism. I thought that the solution…

Extravagant things in ordinary places.
There is a house down the road from us that is blue. Think Robin’s egg blue, but times ten in the vibrance department. When we first moved to the neighborhood, my husband and I had conversations about that blue house, like what do you think the neighbors think, are they visually impaired, you know. All…

Come into the sun.
Return to me, God says. & I’ll return to you. Well, the Lord of Armies, to be exact. Just because I was raised in the church & have never known a world apart from it doesn’t mean that my faith has been a good representative of that. I’ve always known Jesus, but that hasn’t necessarily…

When it all boils down to love.
“For I desire faithful love & not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.” Hosea 6:6, CSB Have you ever read through Hosea? I just decided to dive into it, the last time having read the book through was years ago, though it had always been a favorite of mine. I love a…

A ready help.
All too often I find myself looking at the Bible as only a history lesson. Proof that God once had it. Here’s what he did in the good old days. Here’s the work he performed in his prime, before retirement. The present isn’t a waiting game for God. He isn’t sitting twiddling his…

In the treasure room.
“Blessed is the God & Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavens in Christ. For He has chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy & blameless in love before Him.” — Ephesians 1:3-4 CSB I’m an over analyzer,…

Where we’re at & where we lack.
Sometimes I think we want God to heal us while we keep our backs toward him. We negotiate, “If you are real, you wouldn’t put us through all of this. & so I’m going to stand here & ask you, if you’re real, to take this all away. Make it all better. But I’m going…

Joy as a weapon.
“…the joy of the Lord is my strength.” Nehemiah 8:10 Its a tactic. The upper hand. When we pray, maybe instead of praying for strength we pray for a fruit of the Spirit He tells us is the weapon we need wield. Maybe its joy, His deep, fulfilling, purest joy that fits the…
