How long has it been since you were without your phone? No, seriously. Are you like me, is your phone typically within reach? And if not, do you always know where it is so you can reply if anyone reaches out? Do you use excuses? Thinking that the reason you have it near is […]

  Someone recently asked me, “How are you so on fire for the Lord? You’re so excited about Scripture.” I nearly laughed, even as I was incredibly humbled by this statement. You see, last year, I was anything but on fire for the Lord. I was walking through a deep valley—one of disgruntled frustration and […]

  Someone once told me that when the “awe” of God is lost, you will begin to feel that spark weaken. Isn’t that true? When the world becomes more about you, the less you find a desire to keep going. Allow me to tell you about something I have been studying lately. The Tabernacle— that […]

Now that things have changed we value what we used to take for granted. Togetherness. But one thing hasn’t changed […]

  Staring at this white, blank page, I find myself wondering what to write, wondering who needs to hear what, and when, and how. Reaching and stretching to find something enlightening or encouraging, I am reminded that there is only one thing we all need to hear. Because there is only one thing that will […]

  When you are born and raised in a snow barren place, the sight of it sends a thrill through your soul. If you’re anything like me, then five years ago Georgia’s ‘mini snow day’ was the best kind of Saturday alarm. Like a child, I quickly ran through the house searching for the closest […]
