As I’m working through various challenges in this season of my life, I keep being reminded of where my hope lies and where my focus needs to be. Even so, I find my mind wandering to the discomfort of my axiety and to the urgency of my situation. This poem is a reminder for me…
As I think about my journey to know God more, I’m reminded of the opportunity we are given to travel that road less traveled, the Highway of Holiness. It’s a road that is paved with God’s mercy and grace, and a journey that is fueled by our faith and obedience. It’s a journey that’s not…
We all have moments where our burdens are heavy…more than we feel we can carry…and our fears are amplified…seemingly louder than God’s truth. It’s in those moments that we have to get away, to cut through the noise and tune into His presence and His voice, and to release to Him to receive His peace….
The Bible tells us that God’s love is immeasurable, and there’s no better example of that than His forgiveness to me the countless times I’ve fallen short and failed Him. He welcomed me back each time, and He wrapped me in His love to purge me of the guilt and shame. His forgiveness is undeserved,…

There’s so much darkness in the world today. We can’t miss it if we browse the headlines or watch the news. We might even be in the middle of it ourselves. But Isaiah 9:2 reminds us that there is light in the darkness…not flickering but radiant…not distant but here with us…not blinding but illuminating: “Out…
I’m a little bit stubborn…ok…maybe very stubborn. I can be very confident in what I believe, committed to my position even when I’m wrong. And my stubborn confidence can be comical at times when it’s something not important, but it can lead to challenging situations when my commitment to my own “rightness” ignores the Lord…
