YOU made ALL the DIFFERENCE!!!!
The world is a better place because you are in it!! God declared that over you the very moment He breathed life into Adam and Eve. Genesis chapter 1 brings us the creation story. The story of how our world came to be and how we came to be on it. At the end of …
Run like your life depends on it; because it does.
"The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous runs to it and is safe." Proverbs 18:10 These words have been a repetitive whisper all week. A constant reminder that the Name above all names is here. Jesus is the name. Jesus is the strong tower. Jesus is the sanctuary. Sanctuary: A place …

Let Go and Let God
I glance out the patio door between sips of morning coffee and I can't help but notice it. The oak tree holds on to what's gone, holds on to what's dead. The cold winter breeze whispers through the branches like a gentle reminder that its time to let go. Past time to let go. And …
Take Courage
I'm not one to make new years resolutions. A lot of people do and never follow through. And I've never been one to choose a word for the year as some of my friends have, although I have enjoyed reading their posts about the words they have chosen. On a whim I took Dayspring's find …

I just celebrated my 32nd birthday a couple weeks ago. I was blessed to have celebrated my life with some pretty amazing people. I couldn't have asked for a better day.

Come Closer
James 4:8 "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you." I've been wrestling with these words. Grasping for meaning. Searching for the other piece of the puzzle. Today it's placed in my hands. It all makes sense now. Why I wasn't getting very far. Matthew 15:8 "These people draw near to Me …
Un-guard My Heart
I pick up my copy of The Broken Way by Ann Voskamp. My highlighter bleeds on nearly every page. One line echoes off the page and seeps into my soul. And the tears spill. And my heart is rent in two as I remember. Because I "was the friend who has slapped up cold, guarded walls …
