Early Will I Seek You
When did you first meet the Lord today? When did you make that vital choice to pause and be still and make sure you connected your heart to His?
His Presence Draws You
Amidst all the lists and details running through my mind I found words from Psalm 23 pushing into my consciousness. God’s presence was nudging me to draw close. I realized again that where I…
It’s Time to Dream Again
Lately, I have witnessed so many people settling for less, whether in life, love, relationships, or even in their walk with God. Not only has fear set in, but complacency as well.

How can I experience gentleness in a world that is harsh and demanding and always wanting things its own way?

Sometimes our circumstances seem overwhelming. We may feel like we will never get out of the particularly bothersome situation we are in.
Come and Trust
Come and Trust: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28
If You Will, You Can
Trust requires humility. Asking admits need. Expressing our deepest desire leaves us vulnerable. By seeking a specific outcome, we risk disappointment.
Simplicity of God’s Love
The simplicity of God’s love, not our eloquence or expertise is what touches a person’s life.
Immeasurably More
“Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us,” Ephesians 3:20 (NIV)

Worried About Your Needs?
Remembering God’s past provisions will help you realize he will provide again and again. God’s hands are not too short to reach out to you.
Letting Go
Self-effort has been one of my greatest struggles — I have always been wrapped up in my performance. Everything had to be done to the point of perfection.
Being Angry
I used to think that Christians should never get angry, but the Bible acknowledges that we will be angry sometimes. The issue is what we do with our anger.
Are You There?
In Psalm 10 David asked why God seemed so far away in times of trouble. I think if we are honest, that same question has crossed out thoughts as well.

It's painful being forgotten. Especially by someone we love. I try not to take it personally because life has a tendency to become busy, making meaningful communications less frequent.
