This Truth Steadies Us Through Transitions
Over the last 20 years, change has woven itself into the fabric of my life sometimes seamlessly and, at other times, in big, ugly clumps.
From when I graduated college till now, I’ve moved cities seven times (That includes addresses on two continents). While that may sound like I seek out adventure, in reality, I like ...
Mama, Can We Be ‘Slow To Anger’?
You’ve heard of art museums and natural history museums. But, here’s something you likely haven’t come across before: The Relieve Stress Museum.
(If you’re over a certain age, you’re wondering, “What in the world will they think of next?!”)
Located in Shanghai, China, the museum is fitted with what they call “boom rooms” where people deal with ...
Are You Struggling to Read The Word? (Part 2 – Five Practical Tips)
“Come.”
The word jumped out at me from Isaiah 55 as I read the Bible late one night.
I’d rushed through a jump-from-one-activity-to-another kind of day. (I was about to add, “like a headless chicken,” but that image is particularly gruesome, so let’s just say I 'fluttered' around). I’d postponed my time alone with God and I’d ...
This Is Love – Six Days Of Growing In Intimacy With God
As I listen to the voices of Christians around me, I hear a hunger. A hunger for more of God. A hunger for a closer walk with Him. A hunger for deeper intimacy with Him.
And that same cry echoes in my heart as well.

Honor Your Parents??? (YouVersion Devotional)
What does honoring parents look like when we’re adults? Is it even possible in our fragmented world? How does God expect us to honor our parents when they may have hurt us and where, sometimes, distance seems a wiser and less complicated option?
Clearly, most of us carry tons of emotional baggage when it comes to ...

We’ve all been there. The closed door. The broken relationship. The rejection. The loss. None of us are immune to disappointment. But we don’t have to dwell in it. In this Bible Plan we’ll look at truths from Scripture that will help us deal with disappointment and walk in the fullness of life that Jesus ...
Journey with Jesus – Lent Devotional on YouVersion
‘Journeying With Jesus’ is a Bible plan to help us walk with Jesus through the last two chapters of Matthew. We stop to focus on Jesus' last days on this earth and what that means to us. How does that change who I am and Whose I am today? We will take time to dwell on ...
While You Wait
Fifteen years ago, while I was a single woman waiting for my forever man, I prayed this rather ridonculous prayer: "Father, I want you to be the cake and for my future husband to be the frosting."
I wrote this not-really-Biblical prayer in my journal a few months before I met my dashing dude.
Thankfully, God answered ...
Motherhood: The Freedom of Not Being Enough
Women, particularly moms, are increasingly being told that we are “enough.” Best-selling books, popular blogs and even sermons constantly repeat the “You are enough” mantra. But does that phrase help grow our dependence on God? Is it even true? This Bible Plan counters that we are not enough, and challenges us to lean on the ...
