Your monthly round up of resources to help you connect with God, make a difference, and live with joy.
Read MoreWhile we tend to equate saying yes with being “loving” and saying no with being “unloving,” in actuality, declining a request is not necessarily unloving. In fact, when it paves the way for obedience and enables us to accomplish our individual callings, it can be the most loving and godly thing we can do…
Read MoreYou may find it easy to see how nature displays God’s glory. But what about when you look at yourself? Are you filled with the same wonder and awe? Our culture’s constant provocation to personal discontent and our tendency toward self-criticism can make it hard to recognize, but you too are part of the symphony of creation declaring God’s majesty…

Read MoreTo celebrate spring, I’m giving away a gift bundle, which includes:
A copy of Rebecca George’s new book, Do The Thing: Gospel-Centered Goals, Gumption, and Grace for the Go-Getter Girl
A set of fine art note cards by yours truly
A pretty floral notebook,
And 2 fun vinyl stickers!
It took me a while, but eventually, I came to realize that simply sitting in God’s presence, experiencing Him, my spirit wordlessly communing with His, is just as important and powerful as hearing from God…
Read MoreI know that even though it looks and feels like winter will never end, spring can’t not come. Whether the snow is here for another three weeks or six, at some point, the heat of the sun will overcome those icy crystals and grass and flowers will appear once again…It’s the same with God’s Word. It can’t not produce results. Just like snow that can’t withstand the heat of the sun, no problem can withstand God’s Word; His Word will produce fruit in our lives…
Read MoreLike the disciples who hadn’t yet seen Jesus after His resurrection but heard reports that He was alive, we sometimes question if what we’ve heard about Him is true. We read the promises and hear reports of His amazing works in the lives of others, but still we wonder: Will God really come through?

Read More“…Your worth and eligibility for God’s work are not dependent on degrees or demographics. And if the only thing holding you back from moving toward that thing God is stirring in your heart is feeling “less than” due to lack of a college education or belonging to a specific age bracket, I hope you dismiss those feelings, take a deep breath, and push forward…
Read MoreSometimes, the goals and dreams God has given us can feel the way my plant looked: scraggly, unfruitful—even dead. We might wonder if it’s time to let them go and move on to something else. We might wonder if we heard God wrong…

Read More…The plethora of books, courses, and coaching programs aimed at helping us achieve goals reveals that I’m not the only one who has struggled with moving forward in the goals I’ve set. It seems that, no matter how good our intentions, even our most worthy goals are often met with resistance…

Read More…I feel a similar sense of sadness and fatigue, a kind of malaise that makes me just want to sit on the couch and lose myself in a box of chocolates and mystery novel.
And while there’s nothing wrong is enjoying a day curled up on the couch with a book, I know that what my soul needs is deeper than a simple self-care practice can provide—I need God’s supernatural healing in my heart…
Read More…But though buried, my dream wasn’t dead. The seed of that God-given desire was tucked deep in my heart, and when the conditions were right, it began to grow. And grow. Until I couldn’t ignore it any longer. Instead of thinking about it every once in a while, I thought about it often…
Read MoreMaybe God spoke a promise to you but so much time has passed that you’ve started to wonder if it will ever come to pass. I so, I want to share something with you that I hope will encourage you…
Read MoreWe have a tendency to divide activities into sacred and secular: Being a pastor, youth leader, missionary, etc. is sacred. Being a dental hygienist, mechanic, or vet is secular.
But that’s not how God sees it…
Read MoreI’m so thankful that, as He did for Elizabeth, God took my once present-and-painful problems and turned them into my “used tos.” And He’s still doing it! He is at work today in midst of the things I currently struggle with—the things I trust I will also someday think of as my used tos…
