Just wanted to share a beautiful poem I love by Teresa of Avila. Hope you love it too! Just these two words He spoke changed my life, "Enjoy Me." What a burden I thought I was to carry - a crucifix, as did He. Love once said to me, "I know a song, would you… Continue reading Laughter Came From Every Brick

God Provides for Nico, God Provides for Us
As I was looking for something in Psalms the other day, I came across a note next to these verses that reminded me of a little boy, Nico, that lived at the orphanage where I served in Africa back in June 2010. The verses come from Psalm 145: "The eyes of all look to You,… Continue reading God Provides for Nico, God Provides for Us
Satan is a Jerk: Pray for each other!
The brokenness of this world is real. Some of the walls I've put up to keep myself ignorant or naive have recently been shattered, and I can't deny the truth of this verse any longer: "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy..." (John 10:10a) There is nothing I can do to change… Continue reading Satan is a Jerk: Pray for each other!
Worth Waiting For…
Anticipation. As we started a sermon series this past weekend on the return of Christ and the end times, I found myself pondering what things I find myself waiting for. Sure there are plenty of "waiting" times... waiting in line... waiting for a phone call... waiting for dinner to be ready or the pot to… Continue reading Worth Waiting For…
But what can I do?

There it talks about how they were able to accomplish the task by simply… Continue reading But what can I do?

We started a series looking at who God is in our lives specifically through some examples and stories in the Old Testament. Our study on Wednesday focused in on Psalm 103. I encourage you to read the whole… Continue reading Freedom in the Father’s Love
Something Big
On my way to the grocery store after work last night I found myself wondering, "Did that just happen?!?" 24 hours before, the idea of leading a team to help the victims of Hurricane Sandy was just that... an idea. By the end of the day, we had a date and place set, host churches… Continue reading Something Big
Do Something!
1 Samuel 12:24 says, "But be sure to fear the LORD and serve him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things he has done for you." As we head into a this Thanksgiving season, I can't help but consider what great things God has done for me. I love November because suddenly my… Continue reading Do Something!

What endures…
I would be lying if I tried to say my heart doesn't hurt for the people impacted by the storm the last few days. I am especially drawn to the people of the NYC area because of having the chance this past summer to serve there with a team of young adult missionaries. Each picture,… Continue reading What endures…
