So I’m saying my prayers on the way to work this morning, as I usually do. My mission trip has been pushed up a couple of months and I’m stressing a little. I began praying for God to help me cover the cost, confessing and repenting for my fears – which translate to a lackContinue reading “Serving Others – So Much Better Than It Sounds!”

I was reading in Luke 9:38-62 about the man whose son was possessed with an unclean spirit and he brought the boy before Jesus to have it cast out. It seems he had already brought the boy to the disciples but they couldn’t drive the demon out. So, of course, Jesus took care of businessContinue reading “God Sang to Me”

I’m missing my best friend. I’ve been neglectful of Him and I feel just awful about it. He’s the One who will always be there when you need Him. He’ll always forgive you, so its easy to make excuses…you’re just too busy with life to spend time with Him. And He just patiently waits, everyContinue reading “Too Busy”

Today I am realizing some things about myself. I’m getting in touch with a few feelings that I thought I had buried long ago. The problem was, the feelings weren’t dead. I burried them alive and they’ve been haunting me for years without my conscious knowledge nor my permission. I used to be so self-consciousContinue reading “Am I Good Enough for All This?!”

That’s right. I’m having a torrid love affair. There is this amazing man who has permeated my heart and now its all a-flutter with anticipation for our next encounter. His name is Jesus. (gotcha) I’ve been reading this book, “The Sacred Romance,” and I’m just feeling so enamored. God has been pursuing my heart forContinue reading “I’m Having an Affair”

What a difference a few days can make. So, I now have a plan. I’m going to Ethiopia! I’m so excited, I can hardly contain myself! I’ve started the process. First, I prayed…a very important first step! Secondly, I waited for confirmation from God…also, a very good way to start any project! Praying does noContinue reading “I’m Going to Africa!”

I’m having trouble staying focused this morning. Though I’m trying not to, I just keep thinking about all the things I need to do today. I have all these distractions all around me, including a rapid-fire Nerf gun that I’m pretty sure is making more noise than a real machine gun. Every once in aContinue reading “Abiding in Him Through the Chaos”

It seems like everything around me is telling me to do something, to do more, but I don’t even know how or where to start. I have such a passion in my heart to go places and to tell people about how awesome God is. To hug people who others are afraid to touch. ToContinue reading “Dare Me to Move?”

This is my first blog and I find myself sitting here wondering what I should write about. I’m stressing a little over it, what with it being the first blog and all. Will it set the right tone for future posts? Will it convey a meaningful or inspiring message? Will people read it and, ifContinue reading “From an Inadequate 7th Grader to a Woman of God”
