As a mom of three young kids, I have been struck recently by the value of creating rhythms and routines in our household. This is not anything new, especially to any veteran parent or grandparent out there. In fact, I’m sure it’s something people have told me at least a hundred times. But I’m apparently …
Identity – A Personal Response
When I know all the “right things”, and have all the Bible verses on hand, and have listened to sermons, and have read books and still can’t seem to get it together… I’m finding that my overwhelm is generally rooted in an embarrassingly low view of God's love for me. I believe it for everyone …
Identity.
I once heard Tim Keller say that at the root of every sin is an identity issue. I haven’t found an exception. When I get upset and defensive toward my husband for not liking the less-than-average dinner I serve - it’s because I feel like a “bad wife”. When I become so worried about the …
A Prayer to Remember
God, guide me to cling to the truth You have given me in Your Word.
Our Eternally Faithful God
This God who made and kept the promises to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and their many descendants is the same God who continues to fulfill His promises to us today.

I mentioned in my last post that “The majority of people thought they were entirely good enough (for heaven) on their own.” This has been the most difficult thing about evangelism - apathy towards Jesus. Not a lot of people care. Hence, we have a problem - We live in a society that is so …
Who We Are.
Especially as we enter a new year, a lot of people are filled with hope for a fresh start. We want to better ourselves, to become the “best version” of us, to lean into our purpose and to find fulfillment. And I think one of the most practical ways for us to begin any of …
The greatest gift
There is a God and his name is Yahweh. He is I Am. He is Creator. He is Most High. He is All-Sufficient. He is Lord. He is Holy and Righteous, Just and Love. He created the world and all that is in it. And it was good. It was good until the first two …
No word will fail.
Independent of our relationship with God, He Is. He is All-Sufficient, All-Knowing, All-Powerful. He is Most High, and he is Lord. And his word is true. He is truth. Not my truth, not your truth, not all our truths. He alone is truth. It has brought so much peace and stability lately to reflect on …
