I come ‘round the last curve in the road. A smile grows on my face as contentment grows in my soul. If I wasn’t sure before, I’m now convinced that this impromptu detour down “J-Hill” road was a great idea. I can’t wait to get down the drive and park the car, quick turning off… Continue reading Vacations are for Detours

‘Tis Good, Lord, To Be Here
Today was a beautiful day. I’m currently back at school in Nebraska for a Mid-Year Conference with all of the DCE interns from all over the world. These few days back on campus are hard to describe. Most of us interns have used the word “weird” in that description more times than we probably can count. It’s… Continue reading ‘Tis Good, Lord, To Be Here

A Bold Prayer…
It seems that a couple times a year, I stumble upon this prayer that I once read in a book. And this morning, as I glanced back through some journals, I read it once again. It’s a bold prayer… A scary prayer… A prayer that maybe we don’t really want to pray, because we… Continue reading A Bold Prayer…
Unable To Count That High
The leftover turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and more fills the fridge. Pies and cookies line the buffet table ready to be eaten as soon as our stomachs can hold another bit of food.

The lies Satan tells us and the things he tempts us to do don't seem like such a big deal... kind… Continue reading Crossroads CONNECT – Fighting Satan’s Lies
Hope {Day 20} – Long Term Hope
This morning, as I read in Luke, I came upon this story: On a Sabbath, Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues, and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all. When Jesus saw her, he called… Continue reading Hope {Day 20} – Long Term Hope

Have you ever found yourself staring at a situation in life wondering how you’d ever get through it? The mountain is just too big to climb. The burden is too much to bear.

Joyfullyblessed … by the “Little” things
While I was in Africa, I was amazed over and over again at how God works even in the littlest things. When I stopped to think about it, I realized that God wasn’t DOING more in Africa, but my eyes were just open to it because of the new situation. Upon my arrival back to… Continue reading Joyfullyblessed … by the “Little” things
Joyfullyblessed… to simply be His child
So, I always appreciate when people are real with me, so here I am, being “real” with the world. It finally happened. All the events, emotions, and adventures of the past few months of my life just hit me like one of those giant wrecking balls taking down a house. I knew it would… Continue reading Joyfullyblessed… to simply be His child
