I received the following post from a high school parent on Facebook: Bekah I think that Williamsville North needs a prayer run Somewhat "excited" (not the right word) that I had a clear answer of where my next prayer run should take place, I replied asking her to let me know if she had specific… Continue reading More prayer than running, but a prayer run none the less…

Running With Purpose
I began my run this morning just like every other day this week… iphone in hand streaming music into my ears, my “Runtracker” app on, ready to watch another gorgeous sunrise. It was a little warmer than the other days this week and definitely more humid, but off I went, out of my apartment complex… Continue reading Running With Purpose
When You go to Bed Tonight…
I just finished eating dinner. It was warm. It included aspects from various food groups. There were leftovers (which I’ll enjoy tomorrow for lunch too). I will go to bed content, in a warm bed. Yet. every night, including tonight, more than a billion people will go to bed hungry. That’s 1 in 6… Continue reading When You go to Bed Tonight…
Joyfullyblessed by music
There’s just something about music that calms my soul. St. Augustine once said, “He who sings, prays twice.” As people gathered in Trinity Lutheran Church in Lockport, NY tonight, many prayers, with voice and song, were raised up for the homeless in Western New York. It was such a fun night tonight. Various… Continue reading Joyfullyblessed by music
Content to Linger
As I opened my Facebook page this afternoon, the first day of 2011, my eyes fell upon these words in the status of a friend: We're in no hurry, God. We're content to linger in the path sign-posted with your decisions. Who you are and what you've done are all we'll ever want. – Isaiah… Continue reading Content to Linger

Oh that nasty Satan So good at telling lies That bind, constrict, destroy, and kill So many innocent lives He tells you you're not good enough But yet builds you up with pride Insecurity overwhelms your heart Makes you run and hide The chains wrapped tight around your soul Getting tighter and tighter… Continue reading FREE!!!
Please Don’t Underestimate Them!
I read this yesterday as the Facebook status of a high school girl and got her permission to share it here: I don't drink. I don't smoke. I don't do drugs. I'm a virgin. I'm in high school, and I will not lose my self-respect just to "fit in". Wow. And the world says there's… Continue reading Please Don’t Underestimate Them!
31 Days of Hope – Day 31
Wow. Can it really be day 31? Sure enough … it is. One month ago I set out on a journey to write… to share my heart… to, prayerfully, share hope. I have absolutely LOVED focusing on such a crucial element of life so intensely for a month straight. I’m not exactly sure how… Continue reading 31 Days of Hope – Day 31
Hope {Day 30} – Remember Me
So, I just finished reading, Red, the second in Ted Dekker’s Circle Series. These are very interesting books and to be honest I would have NEVER probably picked them up to read on my own, but after the recommendation from many people, I’m reading them. I must say, I’m pleasantly surprised. Still at times not… Continue reading Hope {Day 30} – Remember Me
Hope {day 29} – “Were” … a Hopeful word?
So, I was getting ready to write my blog post for today… Day 29. But then I read the blog post of a friend and decided that instead of writing today, I’d link to his post. While the original topic was about his class yesterday, he had some interesting thoughts about some scripture that may… Continue reading Hope {day 29} – “Were” … a Hopeful word?
