love isn’t enough…
I’m completely unqualified to speak on this giant topic, I fully understand. Utterly unqualified. I’m talking about: Mass shootings. Hate crimes. Human trafficking. Violence. How did our country get so lost? The problem seems so big….so beyond me. It feels like there is nothing I can do that would make a difference. Have you felt…
despite all my failures…
Even though I have read John, Chapter 21, many times before, I never really got it…until now. This time, as I read about Peter’s encounter with Jesus after the resurrection, I finally understood what was happening. I could, unfortunately, totally relate to Peter. It turns out, I’m a lot like him. Oh Peter. Here’s a…
my little ballerina…
You know what’s hard about having four kids? Everything. The answer is everything is hard with four kids. But I feel like the hardest part is that I cannot do a good job with all four at once. It’s impossible. Lately, the littles have been taking up more than their share of my attention, which…
what am I supposed to be?
It took me a lot of years to know what I wanted to be when I grew up. Like a LOT of years. I kept asking God, what am I supposed to be? But there was never a clear response from him. Well, maybe there was, but I wasn’t a very good listener. Back in…

For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed,…
what I didn’t understand…
Have you ever read something in the Bible that doesn’t fully make sense, but instead of figuring it out, you just gloss over it and keep reading? I’m sort of embarrassed to admit this, but that was me with the glory of God. Don’t get me wrong, I understand he is miraculous, majestic, powerful and…
when God feels distant…
Have you ever read something that haunted you afterward? I read a blog a few weeks ago and thought about how I wanted to respond for days. I thought about it when I was driving in my car. I thought about it when I was laying in bed at night. I thought about it when…
be the one…
I was all set to go with my next blog… and then I felt the Holy Spirit tugging on my heart to write something else. So, in the spirit of obedience, I will save that blog for Thursday. Today I am going to take the time to be thankful; to acknowledge that in the midst…
