Why Would God Ever Answer Me?
Why Would God Ever Answer Me? I never get used to the moment-by-moment miracle of prayer. It’s an amazing thing that God would ever even once listen to me, let alone answer! Prayer finds its hope not in the qualifications of the one praying, but in the character and plan of the God who is […]

What Looks Like An End May Be The Beginning
Life for some in this “season” is hard. Preparation is hard. Change is hard. It’s easy to get discouraged. It‘s easy to feel overwhelmed. It’s easy to be self-absorbed. It’s easy to feel alone.

At the first Christmas, the Magi gave Jesus gifts of incomparable worth, but it’s easy to miss what they were really saying […]
“It’s Not My Fault!”

Restoring Peace… This morning my heart is pounding in prayer for those who are needing ‘restoring shalom’. For some, this Christmas season is filled with pain of loss, hurt and change. What is Shalom? In short, it means “peace.” While God is the only One who can bring Shalom to full completion, He invites us […]

She Said To Me, “It’s Out Of My Hands.” I said, “Yama, (mom) I love you more than you will ever know.” She said, “son you will never know the love I have for you. It’s out of my hands.” If you are struggling today, I pray the post encourages you. Jesus wants you to […]
