I’m not a patient person. I try to be, but more often than not I find myself becoming impatient. I have never liked waiting, especially when I think I know the answer or the right course of action and am ready to move ahead. I’m sure we’ve all been at this point at some time […]
Do you ever feel like everything is on hold and life is passing you by? Maybe you feel like the plans God has for your life aren’t coming to fruition as fast as you would like, or perhaps you wonder if God has completely forgotten all about you. You don’t feel like you are a […]
There are days when trouble seems to come knocking from the minute I crawl out of bed. It can be little, insignificant things like not being able to find my slippers or burning my breakfast that get to me, or it can be larger issues like remembering I forgot to pay a bill or do […]
I’ve never understood the way Jacob treated Leah. Even as a kid the story of Jacob and his two wives bothered me. Why did Jacob never show any love to Leah? She was clearly devoted to him. We all know the story of their lives, which begins in Genesis 29 and continues through Genesis 35. […]
My husband pastors two small churches that are each around 150 years old. Often, as I sit in the pews I can feel the weight of that age and all the history that the buildings contain.

I often ask the Lord to teach me, to show me the path He has laid out for my life. My desire to do His will is sincere but I often put up roadblocks that prevent me from fully walking in His truth. Psalm 86:11 says, “Teach me Your way, O Lord, that I may […]
I admire those women who are always reaching out to other people and meeting whatever needs they may have, bringing hope wherever they go. I wish I could be more like them. Instead I find myself often focusing inward and asking, “What do I need?” I want to be more generous with all that I […]
It doesn’t matter where you look on social media these days, we are always being bombarded with ads that promise to help us “be your best self” or “live your best life”. If you google either one of these statements you will see a list of programs, books, and motivational quotes all designed to guide […]
I have this bad habit of tucking things into drawers when they are broken. I often don’t have the time or desire to deal with them when they break, and I don’t want to look at them laying around, so I shut them up in drawers. Then, when I am looking for something, I open […]
