Bella This is my sweet girl, Bella. She is 15 years old. This may be an unusual inspiration for a blog post, but it makes perfect sense, since I was awake at 2:00 in the morning thinking about it. Lol. The first title I thought about was Sniffing God, or Sniffing for God. I decided …
I have shared about my struggle with depression and anxiety. My journey has led me through various ways of coping; herbal supplements, prescription medications, healing prayer, and light therapy. I remember God hitting the reset button through one such healing prayer. It was awesome. Still, God spoke into my spirit, telling me this would be …
Last Sunday, I took a few notes, being inspired for this post. The idea was, God doesn’t give us everything we need, so we will need him. Our pastor used the miracle of the loaves and fishes to illustrate. (Mark 8:2-9, another instance in Matthew 14:15-20) Let me pull out a few key points. In …
An email, an opportunity, another course, another offer… how do you make your way? How does one decide? I love idioms. They challenge me to look deeper into what truth they present.

Have you ever said something like, “As soon as we pay this off we can...” or, “When we get our taxes back we can...” or maybe, “Monday I will start...” or even, “When I retire then I will...” Sound familiar? Why are we always living in the future? I’ve been calling into question my own …
I picked this picture (above) and this scripture (below) to represent me in this moment. I don’t ever want to misrepresent myself or my struggles. I am a rollercoaster type. One minute full of excitement, enthusiasm, and inspiration, and the next minute full of doubt, despair, and depression. I absolutely love the top of the …
Today I promised to show you ways to align your will to God’s will. The reason we want to do this is because that is the best frame of mind and heart to have to find answers. The first and most important thing we can do is to love God. Jesus tells us this is …
Let’s tackle that second half of the list from yesterday’s post, and see what great things God is hoping you will ask for. Fruitfulness: “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the …
