On Sunday, I, along with a couple other team members on our NYC Mission Trip, had the opportunity to stand in Central Park and ask people for any prayer requests they have while handing out free water. Even though some were shared in a joking manner out of spite or to mock us for even… Continue reading Prayers From Central Park

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
Locked Up – Follow Up
Wow! That's the word that first comes to mind when I think about the LOCKED UP simulation for high school students at First Trinity yesterday. For 12 hours, eight students from First Trinity and Grace-Niagara Falls gave up their identities and their rights to get a little taste of what it's like to live in… Continue reading Locked Up – Follow Up
Prayers for Friends
A beautiful prayer for our friends and family members. I have some friends for whom I'm praying this today. I bet you have some friends who could use some prayer too. "Father, when we hear how much You love us, that You'll always be there, how constant and consistent You are, it's hard for us… Continue reading Prayers for Friends
In Awe and in Prayer on a Tuesday Morning…
Students from AT LEAST 10 churches and 22 schools from all over WNY gathered at First Trinity Saturday night to watch a movie that proclaimed the gospel of Jesus and challenged them to make a difference in the lives of people around them. As I sit here in my office on Tuesday morning, praying for… Continue reading In Awe and in Prayer on a Tuesday Morning…
The Walls that Divide
This afternoon, I found myself thinking about a lot of things. Mostly... about the walls that often divide us... walls in schools, homes, churches, friendships, and more. These walls often come from areas of pain in our individual lives. Following is a musical response I wrote this afternoon... not perfect... recorded only on my computer… Continue reading The Walls that Divide
A prayer to start the day
Dear God, I pray for the day ahead and ask you to guide each step. In each decision I make, grant peace to commit and rely. In each difficult situation I may face, give wisdom. In each moment of planning and preparation, lead me to plan things that will attract youth and young adults to… Continue reading A prayer to start the day
More prayer than running, but a prayer run none the less…
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…
Kenmore East Prayer Run
So I started this "prayer run" idea thinking that I'd be running with purpose. However, I discovered that the opposite was true as well... having a purpose got me to run. Nothing about this morning said, "looks like a great morning for a run!" I had played volleyball for a few hours last night, which… Continue reading Kenmore East Prayer Run
