Re: When You Feel Like You’re Not Enough As A Mom
When You Feel Like You’re Not Enough As A Mom When I first brought Eliana home from the hospital, my fear of inadequacy nearly paralyzed me. God and a brave birth mother had courageously entrusted me with this precious life. What in the world were either of them thinking? I would never be enough. As […]
How to Find Closeness When God Feels So Far Away
Does God Ever Feel Far Away? Why does God sometimes seem so silent and far off? I heard a pastor once say, “If God feels far away, then guess who moved?” I know that’s true, but I also notice in my own life, when I’m extremely busy, feel pulled in 100 directions, or trying to […]

Let Me Tell You About My Haunting Dream
My Haunting Dream A bride. Dirty and gaunt, too weak to hold up her head, sprawled across Jesus’s lap. Head cast down, His hair falling forward, covering His face, He wept. Deep sobs racking His body. She lay there, unmoving. Slowly His head lifted. His tear filled, red rimmed eyes pleaded before He even spoke. […]
Recover Your Wonder this Christmas
We pulled into the Christmas tree farm and I immediately fought back tears. Memories flooded back. Walking through endless rows and rows of thick, bountiful trees towering over our heads, the smell of pine filling our senses. This year, the three rows of trees to choose from met us eye level, challenging me to focus […]
3 Essential Reasons Why The Church Must Gather
The political rhetoric and reasons behind which services/activities prove essential intrigues me. Somehow the communion of the saints no longer classifies as essential. Scripture and history outlines three essential reasons why believers must gather. How can we transform our multi-million dollar campuses into mini church services spread throughout the thousands of square feet, to social […]
A Different Kind of Mother’s Day

Re: A Divine Moment in the Dailyness of the Dishes
Struggling With Selfishness Acts 6:1-7 Full of Faith & The Holy Spirit To the world you may only be one person, But to one person you may be the world. That Sunday I hardly heard one word of the sermon. Just a couple of seats over in front of me a young dad cradled his […]
