I have a question for you today. I feel like God is asking if we are ready for a new season. I know, our first response is probably a resounding YES! After the year we have endured, anything will be better than this, right? But this is a serious question.  While this year has been …

Hi friends, Well, I know it’s been a while. September was another long month and a bit of a reset for some things.  But I’m really sensing that some of us are feeling we just can’t endure any longer and want all of this to just be over. In fact, you may even wish we …

Mondays are highly overrated…so let’s just start today, shall we? In fact, let’s forget about yesterday, last week, this past month! And while we are at it, let’s leave behind any lingering disappointments from the weekend, your last fight with someone you love, your last bout of self-pity or fear, whatever has you feeling down or down on yourself this morning and just start fresh! I am all for that, how about you?

There are a lot of stories being told right now; stories of panic and fear, stories of who’s to blame and who should have done what and when, even some stories of hope and optimism. In the middle of all this, it’s hard to know what to think and what to believe!  When you interact …

A scripture came to mind this morning that I want to share. I sense we each have our own set of struggles right now; possibly disappointment that Easter is coming and our normal traditions and celebrations will be different, possibly missing family and people we would normally spend time with, or facing financial stress as …
