[A]sking [S]eeking [K]nocking

Asking the Lord the same thing.. over and over.. and not getting the response you want immediately is hard, isn’t it?  Asking for years and still not getting anything more than ‘wait’ and ‘trust Me’ is even harder.  That’s the answer I receive during this season.  I’m trying to cling to the HOPE that this [...]

Get Interrupted

Christine Caine at Passion 2012 — this blows me away.. every time! “Compassion is not compassion unless you get actively involved and allow yourself to get interrupted..” Friends, get interrupted.

platforms & stories

On the ride home from work I began thinking about the power in platforms.  All types of platforms. A different type of power.. not the ‘going up the ladder power’ .. but rather the ‘His strength is made perfect in my weakness power’ I had a heart-stirring, mind-picking conversation with one of my students.  The [...]

Lessons from the Dawn Treader

Strength & Beauty

I have heard it said. . . “May the beauty of a flower never steal from the strength of its branch.” I think about clay jars, their beauty and design, and underestimate the strength these jars contain.  They can hold gallons of water and mounds of earth, yet when dropped, break into hundreds of pieces.

Unbelief & Final Destinations

Hi Friends!   I’m back from Texas.. My playlist today is Brandon Heath’s “Leaving Eden” and Kari Jobe’s “Where I Find You”.  They are 2 very different artists, but both of their albums have really been rocking my world. Recently, I’ve been getting back into the book of Hebrews.  I find unbelief to be my [...]

Ruby Joy

My heart’s been grieving for my friends from undergrad, Mitch & Katie, as they just lost their darlin’ daughter to a quick battle of pneumonia this week.  Ruby Joy was about 2 and 1/2 when she left this world.  I wish my body could physically be in 2 places at once — but for now, [...]
