I think each of us find ourselves thinking forward to what is yet to come and pondering what that might entail. Then, the longer we focus on the future and what’s coming next, we open ourselves up for the anxiety that naturally comes. When I find myself doing that, I’m quickly drawn back to focusing…
It’s inspiring (and a bit intimidating) to think God has me in this place at this specific time in accordance with His plan for me. What God asks is that we truly believe it and release this moment to Him. I’m still learning to fully trust in each moment and to fully believe I am…
What a gift we have in Scripture – history, truths, promises, guidance, affirmation, living examples, and so much more. One of the things I cherish the most is the transparency of God’s Word.

My goal though – to trust and fully believe that He is with me, for me, and will not fail me – in each moment – stepping forth in faith and depending on His strength, provision, and protection. “Limitless God“…
What a gift we’ve been given in salvation, and what a blessing for us to have our cups filled through the mercy and grace of the Lord. When I think of my cup being filled, I can’t help but also think of Jesus’ prayer “Please take this cup of suffering away from me.” And yet…
Here are just some of the things we need wisdom for – right focus; right attitude; right learning; right surroundings; right relationships; right choices; right steps.
