About a mile into my morning run yesterday, I stopped to wait for a car to pass at an intersection and noticed this little guy (or lady) hanging out on my running shorts. You can imagine my surprise when I arrived home four MILES later, to find him still clinging to the bright blue cotton.… Continue reading Just hold on…

A Copy-Cat God
I was driving down the Boulevard the other day when my little sister (through Big Brothers Big Sisters), called up from the back seat: "Guess what I'm doing, Bekah?" "What?" I curiously respond. "I'm acting like I'm driving the car back here just like you!" she exclaims excitedly. A little farther down the street I… Continue reading A Copy-Cat God
Always On Belay
Pioneer Camp and Retreat Center recently built the first phase of a high ropes course. I unexpectedly got the opportunity to go there this weekend to be trained as a facilitator on the course. Having helped with high ropes at camp for years, I couldn't turn down the opportunity to come hang out 50… Continue reading Always On Belay
On Hand-Holding…
I see it as the preschool students walk through the halls of church, delighting in the fact that it's their turn to slip their tiny fingers into the slightly larger ones of the teacher. Or as my "Little Sister" (through Big Brothers Big Sisters) finds a way to juggle the stuff she's carrying just so… Continue reading On Hand-Holding…
Empty Hands and An Open Heart
Amen! Let it be so, God! Help me simply come to You... Come to Me with empty hands and an open heart, ready to receive abundant blessings. I know the depth and breadth of your neediness. Your life-path has been difficult, draining you of strength. Come to Me for nurture. Let Me fill you up… Continue reading Empty Hands and An Open Heart
WHY?!?
In my devotion time this morning, one of the questions presented was: "Can you think of a time when you asked: 'If God loves me, then why...?' If so, what happened that led you to ask that question?" As I reflected and journaled a bit on this topic, I came to realize that it seems… Continue reading WHY?!?
Open Our Eyes, Lord {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 19}
I think sometimes we get so blinded by our imperfections that we forget that we have a Savior who can heal if we'd just ask. We forget that our imperfections may be the things that draw us closest to Christ. Open our eyes, Lord. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It was an ordinary day… like every other day. I… Continue reading Open Our Eyes, Lord {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 19}
“HELP!!!”
If you've known me for any length of time, you probably have figured out that I'm a pretty independent person who likes to get things done and do them well. For better or worse, I also have the ability to think ahead and play out situations in my head to figure out what might go… Continue reading “HELP!!!”
Ask, seek, knock … BREATHE
"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. (Matthew 7:7, 8 ESV) Ask, seek, knock. They seem simple. They are. As… Continue reading Ask, seek, knock … BREATHE
Two Pink Umbrellas
While for the most part I prefer sun (which we actually had today!!!) I generally don’t mind the rain. Sometimes I even enjoy a good thunderstorm, or a light rain that I can run in. But when yesterday was going on about a week straight, I was ready for the rain to be done. … Continue reading Two Pink Umbrellas
