How Big IS God?

With the magic of the internet, I’m afraid we’ve also been welcomed into knowing everything that people are thinking. It can be quite shocking at times. I don’t particularly enjoy the current version of social media today but I do enjoy the “people watching” aspect. It is quite fascinating to know what people are thinkingContinue reading “How Big IS God?”

Don’t Stop Believing

It has been hot here in Texas. Like record breaking days with no rain, record breaking days of temps over 100 degrees and record low lake levels. I’ve heard of seasonal depression for people who live up north when the cold and dark clouds move in and they don’t get enough sun. I didn’t realizeContinue reading “Don’t Stop Believing”

Faith like a Child

I saw a meme the other day that got me thinking. It said something like, “Being a child must be so weird. Imagine falling asleep at wal-mart and waking up in your bed.” Or maybe you’ve seen a similar one that goes something like, “I miss the days when I could teleport. Its been yearsContinue reading “Faith like a Child”

Lessons in the Wilderness

What do you picture when you hear the word wilderness? I don’t think I had ever really tried to come up with a picture in my mind until I found myself smack dab in the middle of one. I’m leaading a study tour to Israel in January and because of the time of year andContinue reading “Lessons in the Wilderness”

The Lord’s Provision

I’ve been a little busy lately. My family has spent the summer going on job interviews, going to multiple church camps, football camps, and VBS. We then started the process of packing and moving while my husband started working in our new town. We had spent months looking for a house but it took aContinue reading “The Lord’s Provision”

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. Today, I pray you surrender your timeline in favor of His peace. Trust that what was meant to be yours, will be.” Unfortunately, multiple people haveContinue reading “Waiting on Time – Part 1”

In the Company of Grief

I was listening to a podcast of Elevation Church and the sermon series they are walking through right now. 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”
