Recently, a woman requested not only a good definition for love but, also, she asked “What does it (actually) mean to love people…?” To really, truly love (people) is to love the way God loves! And God loves relentlessly with an everlasting and unfathomable love. The Bible tells us: Nothing can separate us from Gods…
I have always loved this meme. It’s simplicity in truth is profound. As I grieve the closing doors in my life, I’m reminded of this visual. An illustration of a child of God clutching ‘the Gift,’ too afraid to let it go. And my thought was… I’m desperately holding tight to a door yearning to…
I still remember the cold, wet feeling of condensation on my small hands as they pressed against the large, plate-glass window of our living room. My 8-yr-old brow furrowed as I watched tiny snowflakes make their way to the ground. “What was to become of us!?” I thought. A terrible predicament on Christmas Eve. I…
Much has been said in recent weeks about the importance of kindness, gentleness, and humility.

As I scrolled through my social media feed, it happened again. Twice (to be exact) and regarding two completely unrelated current events. “If you don’t agree with me on XYZ, unfriend me now!?” ************************** Have you ever found yourself sitting in the Facebook seat of judgement? How about Twitter? I don’t know about you, but…
The other day I overheard a commentator on tv say “Let’s bring kindness back.” I loved the sentiment and overarching theme of the idea and zealously thought… let’s start a campaign. What if we actually could make America KIND again? Now before those whose feelings are not so warm-and-fuzzy towards President Trump (or for those…
Lately, I’ve been extremely worried about something completely out of my control, so I prayed “God, if this ever comes to pass, it will be a miracle. And when it does, I will know it is You (and you alone,) who is the Maestro.” Let me tell you, I was standing on His promises and…
