I am going to let you in on a little secret of mine. Are you ready? Here it goes……I am totally winging it. Crazy, huh? All of the big decisions in my life have totally been improvised. And for those of you that know me, know I am a planner. I love to plan things.… Continue reading Beware! Sharp Curves and Windy Roads Ahead
Calling All Church Kids
I distinctly remember looking around the room in church, thinking we are one weird rule away from a cult. As often as that thought has crossed my mind, church has always been a familiar place. A home even. I grew up in church. Shocker, I know, but I quite literally grew up IN church. We… Continue reading Calling All Church Kids
Desert
I wanted to share with you something I wrote a while ago. I wrote this at a time in my life when I was angry and very sad. I remember being at church during this time and thinking how can these people want to be here. It was very annoying to me, to be honest,… Continue reading Desert
A Creator’s Whisper
“You are valuable to me, You are valuable to me…” I sang that over and over and over. Even when the worship teamed moved on, it kept replaying in my spirit. “You are valuable to me”. I think a part of me was singing it in a repentance tone. Like, I am so sorry that… Continue reading A Creator’s Whisper
The Intimacy of Being Seen
It was July of 2022, I was sitting on the altar floor of my church and the Lord said the most dreaded phrase to me….”it’s time to take the walls down”. “No sir, it is not!” was my immediate response. How dare He? Seriously, did He not see the work I put into these walls?… Continue reading The Intimacy of Being Seen
Happy Birthday, to me!
This week I turn thirty-seven. THIRTY…SEVEN…… I choose to spell thirty-seven out because somehow my age looks less intimidating in letter form. Perhaps, I should check out what my age looks like in Roman Numerals. Scratch that…it looks way worse! I am not a fan of birthdays. Let me clarify. I am not a fan… Continue reading Happy Birthday, to me!
Stuck at the Door to the Throne Room
I feel stuck at the entrance of His presence, stuck looking through the cracks in the doors as people come and go. I can only catch quick glimpses of the throne room, but man does it look amazing. I am always struck by how freely people come and go. Don’t they understand who’s throne room… Continue reading Stuck at the Door to the Throne Room
Jesus, Pass the Bread
Psalm 23 “The Lord is my shepherd: I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me besides still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of shadow and death, I will… Continue reading Jesus, Pass the Bread
I Am a House…Restored (Part 2)
The Contractor: My Contractor is the original builder, so He knows exactly how everything is supposed to look. He knows the ins and outs of my house better than I do and most importantly, He is always available. He is always ready and waiting for the opportunity to rebuild what I have destroyed. It doesn’t… Continue reading I Am a House…Restored (Part 2)
I Am A House…Destroyed (Part 1)
I am house. A house that has been destroyed and restored more times than I care to count. I have allowed this viscous cycle to continue for years. But God is a good God, who operates strictly out of love and who always has good intentions towards us. How do I know? Because God has… Continue reading I Am A House…Destroyed (Part 1)
