A few days ago I shared of awakening from a nightmare feeling prompted to pray for the persecuted Christians around the world. As 4:30 this morning rolled around I found myself up once again, with people on my mind. And, once again, I took the recent advice I overheard from a friend to her son,… Continue reading Prompted to Pray… A little closer to home

Prompted to Pray
Two days ago I woke up in the middle of the night from an awful dream/nightmare. I was in a church/school and the layout was similar to that of the church I grew up in except it had multiple floors. I don't remember the details, but I know we were in danger. I remembered… Continue reading Prompted to Pray
{wonder-full wanderings} at UB
This semester I have seen God do amazing things through the time I have spent at the University at Buffalo campus. Also true: This semester not many things have gone as planned in our work at UB. "Wandering" feels like a pretty applicable word in trying to figure out where God is calling us, specifically… Continue reading {wonder-full wanderings} at UB
Dangerous Prayers {just write – day 14}
A few years ago during Lent, I studied and prayed my way through a few "dangerous" prayers. Things like "search me" and "use me" don't seem so crazy at first, but when you pray them honestly, expecting God to answer, you never know how that might change your life. While reading through our all… Continue reading Dangerous Prayers {just write – day 14}

Dream Big
As we continue through the Circle Maker journey at First Trinity, I find myself more and more excited about how it seems to be a thread connecting many areas of my life. God is doing some cool things in, through, and around me right now. While they are not the result of The Circle Maker,… Continue reading Dream Big
Prayer Genealogies
We've started a congregation wide study of Mark Batterson's book, "The Circle Maker" and already it's really making me think. One of the things I most loved from the class I attended last night was the concept of what Batterson calls "prayer genealogies." Here's one thing he says about them: "I believe every blessing, every… Continue reading Prayer Genealogies
A Fresh Perspective
Do you ever find yourself reading a familiar verse and not giving it much thought because you've heard it SO many times. Whether it's John 3:16 or Psalm 23, you see it and you kind of just skim past. I hope I'm not alone in this. Proverbs 3:5-6 can sometimes be one of those verses… Continue reading A Fresh Perspective
A Morning Prayer
Not sure who wrote this, but what a great prayer to start a new day! "Dear Lord, I give you my hands to do Your work; I give You my feet to go Your way; I give You my eyes to see as You see; I give You my tongue to speak Your words; I… Continue reading A Morning Prayer
Answered Prayer
This afternoon as I looked through my journal for some notes I took a while back for some ministry stuff, I came across this prayer from back in September that sat at the beginning of about 11 pages of pouring out my heart to God. I don't know how to come to You today Lord… Continue reading Answered Prayer
