I’ve been thinking about those times when I felt helpless – when my situation was dire, when my hope was fading, and when I couldn’t see a way forward – all I could do was cry out to the Lord. Looking back now, I remember those moments of peace when God stepped into my helplessness…
I’ve spent much of life just seeing and responding, stepping forward quickly based on my own understanding. And I do that fully knowing that the Lord wants me to seek and find Him in those moments, and to bring Him into each of my situations. This poem is about doing what the Lord wants me…
I love it when creation speaks to us…when something in the sky or the world around us points us back to the One who made it all. And I love how the awe we feel in those moments draws us closer to our God…the One who designed those heavens and each one of us as…
The Sermon on the Mount is rich with teachings that make us pause and look within. Matthew 5:23-24 was one of the many that did that for me. I thought about the many times when my anger or disappointment or pride led me to pull away from someone, with reconciliation the last thing I wanted…

There are many moments I forget how close God truly is. But the more I seek, the more I find His presence everywhere and His fingerprints on everything – in creation for sure; in that unexpected moment where someone calls at that perfect time with the perfect comment; in that reminder of what God has…
I love the song “What a Friend We Have in Jesus” – so simple, so wonderfully worded, so important to hang tight to…caring, loving, faithful. I find myself whispering His name more and more with each passing day. There is power in the name of Jesus, and He never forsakes those who seek Him and…
