Even If/ What Then?

If God doesn't answer my prayers in the way I ask, in the time frame I ask, what then? Even if He doesn't, I'm going to choose to remain faithful, because who He is does not change based on circumstances.

The Present of Presence

We aren't always called to fix situations. Sometimes, we are just called to walk with others on their journeys, and that presence is a true gift.

Gratitude doesn’t make the grief disappear, but with God’s grace there can still be gratitude and deeper experiences in the midst of grief.

The Best News I’ve Heard Lately

Everything bad that's happening both in our world right now and in people's personal lives is nothing compared to the glory to be revealed to us. We were created for eternity with God!

Surrender

As difficult as surrender is, it's an opportunity for me to be the best version of myself by being led by God, the one who knows my heart and purpose better than I even do.

Lessons from a License Plate

Words on a license plate frame stopped me in my tracks, but the lesson didn't end there. I'm grateful for the moments when God gives me a little glimpse of what He is up to, especially when the situation seems counterproductive from my vantage point.

What You Can Handle

Life gives us more than we can handle, but God's grace is sufficient!

Faith vs. Feelings

The first time I learned that faith and feelings don't always coincide, my mind was blown. God is a still pillar of hope in the midst of any emotions we experience though, and God never changes.

Purpose in Suffering

Without the crucifixion, there would have been no resurrection.
