The Lord is teaching me how to love. He is helping me lay down my life. He is pulling out roots of bitterness and chains of selfishness. In this way, I can be more like Him! Serving and loving the way He loves is the greatest fulfillment I can have in this life. May the […]

I’ve been able to swim a lot lately, thank the Lord. It has been a great release and is always so calming for my heart. As I see my body get stronger and faster, it makes me think of Scripture. How do we get strong in the Lord? We memorize Scripture. This is my focus […]

I feel words flow from a metaphor laying on my heart today. My sweet dog, Dakota, loves me so much that even when I shower in the morning, he is outside laying in the grass fixated on the shower window. After my shower today, I went over to the dining room to look through the […]

Ultimately, our self worth will be upheld and we’ll come forth with our concrete values intact and not compromised. Come what may…even if […]

It’s important to have days of rest where you can just focus on a few things…and do them well. Today was that for me. Watching my neighbor’s son, being obedient to Christ in little ways of responding, caring. So much of my life is built on little things. I was thinking about sailboats today as […]
