Grace Under Fire

Who or what do you think of when you hear this phrase? Usually we think of someone who is able to keep their cool through intense situations. Someone who has “ice in their veins.” We say this a lot about athletes who can compete at the highest level even when the game is on theContinue reading “Grace Under Fire”

Waiting on Time – Part 3

As I have been meditating on this idea of waiting on God, there is one more angle I wanted to dissect, the concept of Sabbath. Sabbath has its origins in the Creation story as God creates everything from nothing for 6 days and then rests on day 7. Sabbath is a part of the Jewish,Continue reading “Waiting on Time – Part 3”

Waiting on Time – Part 2

If you read my last post, waiting on time – part 1, I started with this quote, “God is not in a hurry. You are. It’s why you’re tired. It’s why you’re anxious, stressed and disappointed. Today, I pray you surrender your timeline in favor of His peace. Trust that what was meant to beContinue reading “Waiting on Time – Part 2”

Waiting on Time – Part 1

I’ve seen a quote floating around the internet that says, “God is not in a hurry. You are. It’s why you’re tired. It’s why you’re anxious, stressed and disappointed.

Steven, their pastor, decided to go ahead and preach his Christmas sermon early in December so he was discussing the ins and outs of the night Jesus was born as well as the months that followed.Continue reading “In the Company of Grief”

“I’ve Learned to be Content”

The Apostle Paul says this in the middle of his letter to the church in Philippi. His life has had some pretty crazy highs and lows by the time he pens these words. Paul’s or rather Saul’s beginnings are pretty admirable. He has managed to become a Roman citizen and is accepted in those circles,Continue reading ““I’ve Learned to be Content””

A Seat at the Table

I have moved around A LOT in my life. In fact, I moved so many times when I was little that I don’t really know how many places I have lived. I know that by the time I started school, I ended up going to 5 different schools within those 13 years. I’m well versedContinue reading “A Seat at the Table”
