Sarah’s story began with excitement, adventure, and an incredible promise from God Himself. One day she would bear a child (Genesis 15:4-5) A child that would bring joy to her and her husband and be the first of the many descendants to come. Her future was full of so much hope. She married Abraham, a […] Read more…

When doors close
A few weeks ago my boss sat me down and decided to give me an early Christmas gift. He told me I had to start looking for a new job. It was totally unexpected and out of the blue. Just like that I found myself standing with a closed door in front of me and […] Read more…
A time to give
I don’t know if anyone has ever told you that Christmas is not about the gifts, but if they did then they were lying. Christmas always was, Christmas always is, and Christmas will ALWAYS be about the gifts. It’s about a gift so grand that you would never be able to find it at the […] Read more…
Trusting God in the Unknown
By now I should be…raising three children in my own house with my husband next to me. By now I should be… traveling the world and fulfilling my high school dreams. By now I should be… higher up in the chain in the world of business and using that fancy degree. By now I should […] Read more…
Idol of Social Media
Yesterday I discovered something that I had no idea could even be possible. Something that might bring you such profound revelation that you’ll have to rethink about how you live your entire life. Something you probably won’t believe. You might need to sit down for this: Here it is. You can survive a day without […] Read more…
A faith that doesn’t falter
There’s something that has been nagging on my heart all week. Something that I don’t want to admit. Not to myself, and certainly not to others. It’s paradoxical and quite simple. I’m Christian and I’m not a believer. Those two things don’t belong in the same sentence together. But even though I wish I could […] Read more…
Thanksgiving: the best time to look around
Comparing is a pretty negative word in Christian circles. And for good reason. It usually leads us to bitterness when we see someone out there who seems to have more going for them than we do or it leads to pride when we see that we are better off than someone else. Neither is good. […] Read more…
Praising God in the Storm
I’ve always wished that my life was perfect, pain-free, and easy. But that’s never guaranteed when you are Christian. God says that the path He calls us to walk is narrow, not wide. It’s not a path that many people will choose because it’s hard. It’s a path that leads you through valleys and storms. […] Read more…
When your church isn’t perfect
I have an announcement to make. It’s kind of big. After much thought I have decided to do something that I never thought I would do. I am quitting church. Why you might ask? Well, there are many reasons but here are just a few. It’s full of hypocrites. The worship just isn’t my style. […] Read more…
“God is holding out on me”
Can I be honest about something today? Sometimes I just don’t get God. I don’t get Him because He is Almighty and Sovereign. He has the power to do absolutely anything in the world. He can answer the prayer you have been praying for years in a millisecond and yet He doesn’t. He deliberately chooses […] Read more…
