Are You an Impromptu Hairstylist?
My sister-in-law texted me two pictures the other day. The first was of her sweet 4-year-old daughter. The second was of a small trash can with a considerable amount of hair in it.
Yup, you guessed right - her little hatchling had gotten hold of a pair of scissors and had decided to turn her bedroom ...
Making Space – A 25-Day Advent Devotional
Scroll through your social media feed and you’ll notice people pulling out Christmas decorations way earlier than they normally would.
If you’re someone who has been hanging up stockings while the smell of summer BBQs still lingers in the air, then I say, more power to you, friend. It’s been quite the year. And if you ...
When He Says: “That’s My Girl”
Maybe it’s the generation I’m from. Most likely it’s my cultural background. Or perhaps it’s my Catholic school upbringing. But, like many others (read: women who through nature or nurture have learned self-effacement), I’m not good with receiving and believing compliments or affirmations.

Do We Let God Break Through Before The Breakthrough?
If there’s one word that’s tossed around in Christian circles, like glitter at a 7-year-old’s Unicorn-themed birthday party, it’s the term, “breakthrough.”

Netflix’s ‘The Social Dilemma,’ is being devoured in living rooms across the world, leaving viewers with the stomach-churning question: Yikes! Am I being played??
The documentary, directed by Jeff Orlowski, curates interviews with highly-placed former employees of tech giants like Facebook, Twitter, Google, and Instagram, who contend that we’ve become pawns in the hands of companies ...
“If I Were President …” Life Lessons from a Kindergartener
You’re looking at a paper cut-out silhouette of my son when he was in Kindergarten. Below his profile are the wise (and hard-to-decipher) words of my then five-year-old. Let me help you with the mommy translation: If I were President I would “work hard at cleaning my room.”
The boy is 12 years old now. His ...
Which Song Captures Your Legacy?
You know that little curvy arrow on your browser menu that refreshes your webpage? It’s a button I’m intimately familiar with.
Every time I post an article on my website or on social media, I obsessively hit that button to track my readership and views and likes and subscriptions. When new numbers pop up, it gives ...
When “What If?” Compels You To Act
If you see some brother or sister in need and have the means to do something about it but turn a cold shoulder and do nothing, what happens to God’s love? It disappears. And you made it disappear. 1 John 3: 17 (The Message Bible)
Taking off my Crocs, I stand at the entrance of the two-room ...
