The weeks just keep marching by, don’t they? Another news cycle, another week of both possibilities and challenges, another chance to hope things get better. It seems it can be difficult to stay optimistic at times; to believe that we will ever get where we are going, that all we are investing will finally bring …

God’s people have always faced giants
With all that’s happening in the world (again), we have to be very careful not to fall back into a place of fear, panic, lack thinking or limiting God (again). I felt like I needed to remind us of this today. As we see grocery and gas prices rise, fear is on the rise as …
Dear Fear, STFU.
“It’s not strategy or content at this point. It’s all mindset.” STFU. That’s what I said inside when my friend stated the obvious truth, that was so obvious I missed it completely. Again. I mean, really. How long do we have to deal with this mindset $#*t, really?! Umm, until fear stops kicking my butt. …
Do you need endurance today?
Well, my intention of writing every day was good…but maybe a bit overzealous! Thanks for your notes of encouragement this past week. I really do sense God’s heart drawing us closer to him in this time and am glad we get to have this time to connect and focus on him for a little bit …
Are you ready?
This is an important question, friend! It’s important for several reasons. First, God is letting us know that there is a new season happening, right now. A new season of intimacy with Jesus, living in our true identity in Him and walking in more influence and impact that we could even imagine! This new season …
A different kind of faith
Most of us were just going along living life when 2020 hit. It seems now, we were maybe even a bit unprepared to face such a battle.These are unusual times. (Yeah, that is an understatement!) We have not experienced the intensity and relentless onslaught in our minds as we have this year, which is why …
Where does fear come from?
I heard from several of you last week who are really struggling with fear in the face of all that’s happening in the world. You are not alone! I think, no, I know that all of us are fighting this at some level. And it is a fight! Keeping our faith solid and strong is …
God’s Pleased with You. Really.
Last week we talked about delighting in the Lord, and allowing ourselves to find joy and have fun even in the midst of our current situation. Today I felt like the Lord just wanted to delight in us…to remind us how pleased he is with our attention to him, how much joy he gets when …
God’s Narrative in Uncertain Times
Monday we talked briefly about the importance of choosing our narrative during this time. Our narrative is what we say to ourselves, mainly, but also what we say to others. What we choose to believe–and repeat–about this season sets a tone; for our minds and emotions, our expectations, for our family and friends and everyone …
What Would Delight You Today?
Coming to you today from the middle of my dirty kitchen. So. many. dishes. I don’t understand how two people can create such a mess! I don’t envy you with a houseful of little ones, or worse, teenagers! (at least not from a cleaning perspective.) I don’t know about you, but I am tired. I …
