Following His Path To Something Beautiful
I was sitting in the first 2 verses of Psalm 91 this week. That was where God had me, because everything else felt overwhelming. A lot of times my struggles feel like a battle. But this didn’t feel a battle. It felt like I was in a storm. And it felt like the storm came [...]
I was reading about the Lord’s prayer in Luke 11 today. Jesus' disciples asked Him to teach them how to pray. And I was caught by how Jesus opens His prayer. Father, hallowed be your name. This week I had thought a lot about holiness, and what that means. God being holy seems like an [...]
How many of you do words for the year? I know many of you don't. It isn't right or wrong to do one or not, but somehow they end up being fitting for me. You can read about my word of the year from last year here. But my word of the year this year [...]
I kind of laugh at this story. Because I really didn't expect this to happen, or plan for this to happen. A few years ago, I wrote a blog titled "How To Break Down Your Barbie Dream House". I played with Barbie's growing up, and in college, me and two friends had Barbie nicknames. I [...]
Have you ever heard about the 400 years before Jesus came, and the significance of that? It is the time between the end of the book Malachi and the time when Jesus was born. And as far as anyone knows, God did not speak, and no scripture was written. This time in history is just [...]

Over the Fall we finished a study on Joshua, and Judges. As we finished Judges, and we began to approach Christmas, I became increasingly excited to look at the birth of Jesus, and behold what makes Christmas so wondrous. One of the reasons is one thing that has stuck out to me from the Old [...]
Psalm 23. One of the most familiar psalms I have known my whole life. I still recall the melody of this psalm that we sang in Sunday School. It is a nice psalm, but in looking at it more, I am realizing more of its meaning. Specifically, in regards to a phase in Psalm 23:3, [...]
I have a lot of dreams. Like a lot. And honestly, sometimes I get tired of them. Because a lot of times my dreams are of fires, and terrorist attacks, and storms, and floods… you know all the bad things. I have good dreams too, but bad dreams are alarming and leave me shaky. One [...]
Have you ever set out to do something but felt discouraged by not getting the results you wanted, or feared what was ahead? Maybe what lies ahead of you seems hopeless, and being strong and courageous . The other day we were on the boat with my parents, and my husband and I went fishing. [...]
