Worthy

This past Saturday, I had the pleasure of attending a special event, the Radiant Gala. Photographer Jessica Yates had sought women to highlight in what she named “The Worthy Campaign.” After receiving applications, she selected 25 women to photograph and document their stories. I was blessed to be chosen as one of the subjects forContinue reading “Worthy”

It’s Okay to Give Up

If you’ve already slipped on your New Year’s resolution then that title might sound like music to your ears. If you’re someone like me, it may hit you as a shock and cause your back to stiffen. Believe me when I say this has been a difficult lesson to learn. When I first spoke toContinue reading “It’s Okay to Give Up”

Now What?

We are currently walking through the 12 Days of Christmas; that is, December 25th to January 6th. Christmas is, of course, the day we remember the Christ child being born. January 6th is the Day of Epiphany where we reflect on the magi from the East acknowledging the divine appointment of Jesus as Lord. MyContinue reading “Now What?”

Don’t Get Robbed

Theodore Roosevelt is credited with saying “comparison is the thief of joy.” I will go further in saying comparison can make having a spirit of thanksgiving impossible. It is hard to be thankful for you children when you think I wish my kids were as successful as so-and-so’s kids. It’s hard to be thankful forContinue reading “Don’t Get Robbed”

The Year of Jubilee

I am glad I get to spend time diving into scripture each week. I facilitate a group study that seeks to go deeper into context, and understand more fully the word of God we call the Bible. We have been in Leviticus with the prior week being chapters 23 and 24 (the festival calendar), andContinue reading “The Year of Jubilee”

You Have No Power Here

If you’ve followed much of my writing you may have noticed that I sometimes use movie references for understanding. It isn’t something I plan for, but on occasion a film quote will come to mind as I’m meditating on what the LORD is working out in me. Initially it was a line from Labyrinth, aContinue reading “You Have No Power Here”

Making the Way

Then the crowds who went ahead of him and those who followed shouted: Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven! Matthew 21:9 CSB Holy week begins and we look once more to the fulfillment of Messianic prophecy. The establishment ofContinue reading “Making the Way”

Heart of Worship

The past month has definitely had one primary focus; worship. I attended two worship retreats in February, listened to podcasts who were discussing the topic, and the Bible study I lead was revolving around the subject as well. In this day and age, when someone thinks of worship they usually think of music sung toContinue reading “Heart of Worship”

Firm Foundation

The year 2025 is rolling on no matter what your level of preparedness has been. If your year looks anything like mine it is already filling with exciting and stressing events. When I get a fresh calendar, I like to hold it up to God and say “This represents the days you’ve laid out aheadContinue reading “Firm Foundation”

A Moment’s Eve

Inspiration came on Christmas Eve as we came together with our church family for the candlelight service. Our pastor spoke of this teenage girl giving birth to the Messiah of the world. So young and full of zeal for her faith, she submitted so that the will of the Everlasting God could find fulfillment withinContinue reading “A Moment’s Eve”
