A Glance Back

A Glance Back

A couple of weeks ago, there was an amazing sunrise that caught my attention and the same was true for many others, too (for my East Tennessee friends, anyways). It was so stunning that sunrise photos were the highlight of the day on social media. While I wasn’t able to snap a picture, I did […]

Go to the King

Go to the King

Hope transpires when we go to the King. When we take those moments to pause and choose rest, allowing Him to have every concern, hope will transpire. Love from the heart of the Father will transpire. Just this past week, I had one of those overwhelming days and I could have given up but I […]

Lost in His Wonder

Lost in His Wonder

One day last week as I was driving before dawn, I couldn’t help but pause at the wonder of the clouds. On this particular morning, there seemed to be a glimpse of spring in the air which for me, brings hope. At first glance, the clouds looked like mountains in the distance. I simply told […]

Renewed by Good Words

Renewed by Good Words

Life can be so fast-paced sometimes, but I love a good book because it somehow can slow things down. Books have been a great place of rest for me lately. I am reading multiple books right now and I am not sure if that is a good or bad thing. 😉 While I should probably […]

Go Broken

Go Broken

Go broken? Yes, go broken. I think sometimes we want to be made perfect before we set out to go as His disciple, but the Father can use our brokenness now, right where we’re at. The framed photo below sits on my desk. The print inside the frame used to be straight and not crooked, […]

Take Everything

Take Everything

Worship songs can become prayers to the Father. When I first heard “More Like Jesus” it became an instant prayer of honest surrender. And every time I hear this song, my heart goes to a place of surrender. If more of you means less of me, take everything. Yes, all of You is all I […]

Let’s Be Renewed

Let’s Be Renewed

As we start our journey in 2021, I encourage us to move forward with holy expectation, confidence, and hope. As I shared last week, He makes all things new. No matter how long we may have endured hardship, He can make us new. No matter how long we have been stuck in shame, He can […]

All Things New

All Things New

When the snow began to fall on Christmas Eve, my heart leaped with excitement and hope. The snowflakes that soon covered everything in white, brought peace. It reminded me that as this year comes to an end, despite all the not-so-good we have endured, Jesus can make all things new. Behold, I am making all […]

Greatest Gift

Greatest Gift

Merry Christmas, friends. Whether or not you will sit around the table together with family or not this Christmas, the greatest gift you have at your table is Jesus Christ. I can just picture us sitting around the table together with the most honored guest, Jesus. And He is more than just a guest, really. […]

True Love

True Love

Perfect love can be found. While a Cinderella story may sound captivating, there is nothing that will draw us in like the true love of the Father. It’s a love we can keep. It’s a love that is endless. It’s a love that is true. To the one who doesn’t feel loved, can I encourage […]
