I apologize for not posting the past few days. I wanted to, but realize that sometimes the "anythings" of life call you to ignore your normal routine, abandon technology more, and simply experience the anything. This weekend was one of those times as I had the opportunity to travel with 10 middle school students and… Continue reading A Weekend of Anything {31 Days of Anything – Days 7-10}

"Take My Life and Let it Be" has always been one of my favorite hymns. Over the past few weeks of Lent and especially into this journey of giving up everything to God, I have discovered even deeper meaning. Praying through one specific verse each day has opened my eyes to God at work all… Continue reading A Beautiful Hymn of Surrender {31 Days of Anything – Day 5}

Have you ever met an "anything" person? Someone who understands a relationship with God that involves an active faith not a dead one...

God, I want YOU to write the story of my… Continue reading Everything! {31 Days of Anything – Day 2}

Leviticus. The point many get to before quickly giving up a resolution to read God's Word cover to cover. A book that perhaps makes us question what all of these laws mean and which actually apply to us today. That series of chapters that until recently seemed to me to be a great book with… Continue reading A Brokenhearted God – Reflections on Leviticus

As I read through an advent devotion this morning, this passage that I've read probably hundreds of times, struck me in a new way (because that's how God's alive and active Word works!): "The people who walk in darkness will see a great light. For those who live in a land of deep darkness, a… Continue reading The Shadowlands

Grace is... Grace is not getting out of bed until 10am on a day off after a busy week. Grace is a yummy breakfast and time to journal. Grace is being "behind" on your devotions and yet it being exactly what you need to hear that day. Grace is a friend who understands. Grace is… Continue reading Days of Grace
