So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household. ~Ephesians 2:19 Goosebumps covered my arms this morning as I read this. I’ll try my best to convey my thoughts about what God spoke to me through this verse… It’s been almost a…… Continue reading No Longer Strangers and Aliens

Saying Goodbye

This is probably the trillionth time I’ve attempted to write this post. I have no idea where to start or how to find the words to capture all that’s in my heart. My husband recently accepted a job transfer in Idaho. So, a few days ago we packed up our life in California, loaded it…… Continue reading Saying Goodbye

That Is Beautiful

My Dear Daughter, I’m feeling the need to tell you something… YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! As I look at the world today, it’s not difficult to see that the culture’s terms for beauty are becoming increasingly unattainable, drastically inconsistent and hopelessly flawed. We are told to search for beauty in our weight, hair styles, complexion, bra…… Continue reading That Is Beautiful

Stepping Out of the Boat

“Isn’t the danger of missing out often much greater than the risk that comes with stepping out?” – Steven Furtick Some people have a natural capacity for public speaking. I, on the other hand, do not – at least I don’t think I do. Actually, I’ve never done much public speaking so I’m not completely…… Continue reading Stepping Out of the Boat

A Moment In His Presence

I zip up my jacket, cover my head with my beanie, cloak my scarf around my neck and cover my feet with two pairs of mismatched socks.

While studying this epistle written by Paul while in prison, these are questions that must be pondered. As I examine these scriptures alongside… Continue reading The Gift of Suffering
