Stalked by the Lies

My heart races In the tall grass I make my way Eyes wide open Alert for sounds I hear growling A twig snaps I am pursued By my adversary Once he held me Tightly bound With heavy chains And a steel cage Until my savior Told me the truth That I had the key To […]

Prayer Journey — Restoration

This weekend Lord I saw with my own eyes your restorative power. I saw a man, who I visited only two years ago in a prison, now living free — not just physically free from prison, but living free in Christ Jesus. I watched him interact with his wife and child in a loving way […]

Letting God Move Us

The windmill vanes Turn to the wind Desperately grasping Trying in vain To capture the wind The wind blows past Spinning the windmill Gears creak and turn The pump rises and falls Water emerges and flows The wind passes through We cannot see it Yet we know it’s there Building windmills To capture its power […]

Trust and Obey the GPS?

“Trust and obey, for there’s no other way” might remind you of an old church hymn, but for me it also sums up my struggle with the GPS on my phone. It’s one thing to trust the GPS to navigate me to my destination, but a very different thing to actually obey its directions. When […]

Who Really Controls Your Schedule?

I see it as more of a reminder for us to engage God in our plans; to seek his counsel; to have a willingness to change our plans to pursue what God puts in front of us each day.

Tiny saplings reaching up Toward sky so blue above Young faith taking root With new found faith in God Growing up in shadows Of God’s faithful high above Towering trees rising up Above tiny saplings below Deep roots holding strong Against many storms of life Canopy of green leaves Glowing in light above Branches skim […]

Believing in the Unseen

Because Thomas saw Jesus in the flesh, he replied to Jesus, “My Lord and my God!” It will be the same for everyone someday when we stand before Jesus.

The Family Tree of Life

We are born with an earthly family yet as Christians we are children of God our father. Romans 8:14-15 tells us, “For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.” We are adopted into the family of God so we can cry, “Abba, Father.”

Prayer Journey — God’s Purpose In Season

I feel scattered, tossed upon fertile soil. The master gardener tells me I have been purposely positioned in this specific spot. Yet I feel out of place in this cool, moist soil. I question if anything can grow here as snow flurries cover me with a chilling wind. I pray to God for strength, seeking […]
