Don’t worry about the numbers, just be obedient right where you are.” As I finished up my workday and reflected on my future career/life, God gave me the words above. I think that is especially timely at this point in year. Perhaps you had goals thatContinue reading “Your call right now”

Word for the year: RECALIBRATE
RECALIBRATE Definition: to check again by comparison with a standard (true value). Why is this important? We set our lives against various standards/values (definitions below). However, without recalibration we can veer off course. We have the intention to stay the course and yet we can drift away from that path. By recalibrating, we put ourContinue reading “Word for the year: RECALIBRATE”
Even if!
Yesterday, I mowed the lawn! As my young adult group asked for praise reports at the end of our meeting, I was trying to encourage myself to speak up. I wanted to speak about a recent development but felt my news (while good) was still sad. Nearly missing the window of opportunity as closing prayerContinue reading “Even if!”
Spoken Word (Everything, Right?)
Audio only. I tossed around giving this a written introduction but instead I put it all on audio. When you start the audio, there will be a short introduction to how I got to this particular spoken word piece. From there I go on to speak the spoken word and then finish with a briefContinue reading “Spoken Word (Everything, Right?)”
Child’s Play
[putting away all those childish things] This was my Facebook status 12 years ago, today. I was 19 and I was the end of my freshman year in college. Outwardly, my life was great. Academically I was thriving! but inside I was very broken, fearful and insecure of my place within my friendships/relationships. So whatContinue reading “Child’s Play”
Blooms and Blossoms
Church is MUCH more than coming to a building for a set time on a particular day or days of the week. It’s koinonia which “is the Greek word for fellowship. It refers to community, one’s place in a group, and the representation of fellowship such as a joint gift.” I’ve seen the difference inContinue reading “Blooms and Blossoms”

Dot marks the spot
Don’t go into another year going through the motions. Grow your gifts, press into your passions, give with a heart of service… there’s a “dot” for all of us. Find it, go for it, live it! Start small, dream BIG. Proverbs 19:21 ; Jeremiah 29:11 ; Jeremiah 33:33 ; Habakkuk 2:2 ; Proverbs 3:5-6 LoveContinue reading “Dot marks the spot”
No Minor Roles
significance – the quality of being worthy of attention; importance. Does what I do matter? This question arises in me fairly regularly these days. Achieving as measured by ribbons, medals, accolades or pats on the back used to be my sure sign off “Yes, you’re doing the right thing”, but as I have matured andContinue reading “No Minor Roles”
What is cluttering my mind?
(Audio and Text) When I asked God this question I quickly got this answer. The cares of life, worry, doubt and unbelief. The latter three words (worry, doubt, and unbelief) I knew well enough. I’ve had to remind myself on many occasions that being anxious won’t fix things and that if God promises he willContinue reading “What is cluttering my mind?”
