Sometimes a good day starts with a simple choice before you even get out of bed that it's going to be a good day no matter what happens. This past week has been one in which sin and its impact on the world has been making itself very clear. From personal issues all the way… Continue reading A weary world…rejoices

A Little Bit of Heaven on Earth
A few weeks ago I was talking with a friend of mine about some advice his parents had given him: "Live now on earth as if you're already in heaven." Because eternal life doesn't have to wait until earthly death, we can experience the joy and power and peace of heaven while still in the… Continue reading A Little Bit of Heaven on Earth
One More Step
Vacation was awesome. Coming back from vacations are often difficult. Thankfully, this one wasn't as bad as I potentially expected it could be heading into a busy week. Tuesday was a super busy day but I think that helped keep me focused on the tasks at hand. Wednesday though we hit the "theres-so-much-to-do-but-can't-figure-out-what-to-do-so-I-just-won't-do-anything" phase full… Continue reading One More Step
Just Be
When my friend Megan and I were looking for a place to vacation this fall, our desires were pretty simple: affordable, near a beach, preferably 2 bedrooms, with a place we could cook some of our meals. The place we ended up finding turned out to FAR exceed these expectations. Our gorgeous little condo was… Continue reading Just Be
A Good Samaritan – Jesus Interruptions
This is kind of back-tracking a bit, but blogging about this week's "Jesus Interruption" story made me think back to last week's: The Good Samaritan. Each time I hear that story I am challenged to think of the ways I can be that person who allows the interruption in my schedule to help someone in… Continue reading A Good Samaritan – Jesus Interruptions
A Hand Holding God – Jesus Interruptions
I really am loving our current series at church about the ways that people interrupted Jesus or He interrupted their lives through Scripture and the way it still happens today. This week's story (read the whole thing here) was about a man who interrupts Jesus to ask him to come heal his daughter. When a… Continue reading A Hand Holding God – Jesus Interruptions
Repeat the Sounding Joy
I have a lot of friends who are hurting this Christmas season. Broken...abused...challenged...confused. Each day as I am reminded of their situations and prompted to pray, one thing I pray for, is joy. We hear that word through many Christmas songs... especially "Joy to the World" but what about when joy doesn't seem to come… Continue reading Repeat the Sounding Joy
GOD=LOVE ~ I=LOVED
"Love is not what God does. Love is who God IS." This phrase from Pastor Chuck's sermon this week had stuck with me. What's so amazing about this truth is that it takes away all need to perform or "do" something to gain God's love. His love can't change because it's who He is. For… Continue reading GOD=LOVE ~ I=LOVED
Plug it in!
John 15 has been one of my favorite passages for a long time. God continues to bring deeper application for my life every time I read it. The other day was no exception. Here's what it says: I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it… Continue reading Plug it in!
A Real Life “Science Experiment” {31 Days of Anything}
I've decided to do a "science experiment" ... with my life. And it's one in which I hope the rest of my life will be spent proving my hypothesis correct. What is my hypothesis you ask? Simply this: God can write a better story with my life than I can! Okay, so maybe it's a… Continue reading A Real Life “Science Experiment” {31 Days of Anything}
