Man In The Mirror

(If you received this post via email, be sure to click here to watch the video.) Last week I had the opportunity to see the movie Joyful Noise — “pre-release” — I liked it… …hope. perseverance. love. BUT, what really touched my heart and kept me thinking for days after were the lyrics to the

No Excuses!

NO Excuses

As you look back on the last year and look forward to the new year… …are you truly living out the calling that God has given you? If not, what or who is hindering you from fulfilling the calling that God has given you? Hmmm…think about it. What is that thing that God keeps whispering

Your Moments, Your World

shhhhh… did you here it? …listen again. What you heard just now is your world. Whether you love it, tolerate it, or hate it, it is yours and it’s going by at the speed of light. You. will. never. experience. this. moment. again. Take time to acknowledge what is yours. If you don’t like it,

Open The Eyes of My Heart Lord

“You will have no other gods before me. ” Exodus 20: 3 I wouldn’t think of it. I mean, how crazy were those Israelites to continue to disobey and construct idols to worship when the One and only Living God was leading them, listening to their cry, giving them instruction and provision and constantly demonstrating

Sweet Dreams

One of my most favorite times of day is during the evening hours- when the dishes are done, house is picked up ,and I have donned my ‘comfy’ pants. (It’s true. Probably not super stylish, but part of my nightly ritual!) I cuddle in to be with my kids. I breathe…or maybe it is more

In Waiting…

Seasons. Change. Unknown. It seems we are always faced with these 3 realities. Our lives are ever moving, ever changing, ever filled to the brim. No matter how comfortable we seem to be with our routines, our habits, and our comfort zones, there is always something we are waiting for, something we desire…something about which
