Image 1: Green and Vibrant I walked out my front door this morning and the first thing that crossed my mind was: “Wow! When did that happen?!?” I was caught off guard and pleasantly surprised by the way the world turned green, seemingly overnight. Grass is growing, the tree filling with leaves. Not long ago… Continue reading Vibrant. Wilted. Shattered.

Choosing Failure
The title of this blog post alone is enough to send some of our hearts racing and palms sweating (mine included). We live in a “Failure is not an option!” world, but I’m starting to think maybe it is. Even more, I sometimes wonder if it might be the BEST option. We live in a… Continue reading Choosing Failure
Reflections on Ezra and Nehemiah
"HE IS RISEN! ALLELUIA!" These words echoed through the halls of churches all across the world this past Sunday. However, when I look around our world, we still see so much hurting, pain, and even death. I saw it in the eyes of a friend, in words across Facebook, in stories of suffering splattered all… Continue reading Reflections on Ezra and Nehemiah
Reflections on 1 Chronicles
At the beginning of this week in the intro blog I mentioned that as we go through 1 and 2 Chronicles, we're going to be hearing a lot of the same stories. Just as I told you, I challenged myself to do my best to read these books with fresh eyes and expect God to… Continue reading Reflections on 1 Chronicles
Reflections on 1 Samuel
At the end of this week in 1 Samuel it was actually something in the most widely known story of this book that stood out to me and is where I'm centering my heart. Despite reading and hearing the story of David and Goliath more times than I can count in my life, God still… Continue reading Reflections on 1 Samuel
Reflections on Judges – Not My Generation!
For me, the entire book of Judges can be summed up in this verse found early on in the book: “After that generation died, another generation grew up who did not acknowledge the Lord or remember the mighty things he had done for Israel.” Judges 2:10 I find it hard to even describe my thoughts… Continue reading Reflections on Judges – Not My Generation!
Reflections on Exodus
It's easy for me to read through a book like Exodus and kind of wonder: "How couldn't they see it?!?" God's provision, protection, and guidance are so clear chapter after chapter. From protecting Moses as a baby to grand things like splitting a sea in two or food appearing out of thin air day after… Continue reading Reflections on Exodus
A Blessing for New Year
Author Greg Finke from Dwelling 1:14 recently shared this blessing and I'm praying it over all of us in this new year! "Remember, you do not need to be afraid. You are not going for Jesus but with Jesus. He is Immanuel... the "with us" God.. and He's got this thing called 2018. So, enjoy… Continue reading A Blessing for New Year
17 Lessons from 2017
As I skimmed back through my journal from 2017, I started making a list of common themes and lessons God taught me. Some of these lessons I've had to learn again and again and some of them were new or went deeper this year. As I look forward to a new year, I can't wait… Continue reading 17 Lessons from 2017
Home.
I truly enjoy travel, trips, and adventure. I also greatly cherish returning home. Many good things arise in chances to get away. I loved the opportunity to put work aside for the past week and be refreshed. More than that, I truly enjoyed spending time with my family. I see things in a new light… Continue reading Home.
