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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

The Father always has a seat for you at the table. You’re always invited. I remember in first or second grade, my sister’s friend invited her to a birthday party. She said she would go but only if she could bring her sister. So of course I was really excited that my sister got me […]
I got to talk with a great friend last week. We updated each other on our dreams. We shared our hearts. We laughed together. My friend, rich in wisdom, got me thinking about hope. What can we do in the moments when we need hope? This world will try to sneak and rob us of […]
I need to laugh. Maybe you, too? Laughter is good medicine for our soul, so today, let’s laugh! Sometimes I make mistakes and sometimes I want to rethink my choices. And I am learning that it’s really okay to laugh about it. I am not talking about the choices that require us to really seek […]
I was pruning my roses today and couldn’t help to think about how the Father refines and prunes our lives. There is hope in the process because we know fruit will come. Growth requires pruning.
