Each week, I sit with the Lord and ask, “What do you want to say today?” My prayer is that each post, regardless of the date, speaks to you in due season.

I decided to study joy this week. I know it's not based on circumstances or situations. Those things can produce happiness (or unhappiness). Joy is within. It's a state of the soul, a posture of the heart, regardless of external [...]
Every day, the Lord is my Shepherd. Every day, He makes me lie down in green pastures. Every day, He leads me beside still waters. Every day, He restores my soul. The question is, do I let Him? Do I [...]
I have a confession: my prayer time doesn't always look super spiritual. But let me explain. For example, this morning as I sat down with my coffee and bible, and began to thank God for all He is and all [...]
"My dear brothers and sisters, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger, for human anger does not accomplish God's righteousness" (James 1:19-20). Mindful. Thoughtful. Peaceful. These are code words between me and [...]

I had a sweet revelation this morning. I know the verse in 1 Peter 5:7 which says, "Casting all your cares on [the Lord], for He cares for you." But today I realized this perfectly describes my morning brain-dump with [...]
Jesus knew what He was talking about when He warned His disciples about getting weary, didn't He? It seems almost normal for everyone to be exhausted of strength these days-- and not just physically. I'm seen it (and felt it [...]
I was an 80's girl. As a senior in high school (and not yet saved), I chanted with my peers, "We're gonna party like it's 1999!" And in 1987, future years like "1999" and "2000" seemed like a time-warp to [...]
