Journeying with Jesus

Journeying with Jesus – A Lent Devotional

We just celebrated Valentine’s at our house. We had family over for Asian food (side note: if you haven’t tried Burmese Khow Suey yet, I highly recommend it), and we wrapped up with lemon cheesecake. There was no chocolate, no strawberries, and no bubbly. Instead, we had our fill of noodles and fried rice - perhaps ...

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?

I usually give digital diaries a non-committal shot for a week or two and then revert to my trusty spiral-ring planner. When it comes to spending ...

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 ...
