I Am Not Nothing
I feel like there should be a warning at the beginning of this post, because I have so many threads running through my head—things God has been showing me—that I may come off a little scattered or disjointed. I have made some big decisions recently which I thought would help my mental state. But instead …
Feeling the Pressure
You’ve guessed it. I’m feeling the pressure today. Why? I’m guessing it’s because I’m a dreamer. I love to imagine all the things I could do and I add things every time something sparks my interest. Marketing gurus target people like me with enticing offers to get me to sign up now. I think someone …
Whole and Holy
Long before he laid down earth’s foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love, to be made whole and holy by his love.Ephesians 1:4 MSG This was the main scripture in Sunday’s sermon. I had to write it down, because I wanted to further explore this truth. …
Making Room for the Holy Spirit
Make Room is the second song on my playlist for 2025. I shared the first song, Made for More in my post about my word for 2025 - MORE. The thread that connects these two songs is a desire for God to be more present in my life. The lyrics, “I will make room for …
What’s Your Why?

This blog post was birthed from a Bible plan author, who wrote how she …
What About His Second Coming?
This may be a strange time to think about Christ’s return, but is it really? I don’t know about you, but I’ve been reading Bible plans about Christmas and the scriptures that tell about His birth. When I woke up this morning, two days before Christmas, it wasn’t Jesus first appearance I wanted to write …
Peace
What do you think of when you hear the word peace? My mind automatically goes to a spa-like atmosphere and a massage, or cuddling up with a cozy blanket, a cup of tea and a warm fire. Just thinking about those things automatically relaxes my shoulders as I exhale. But this time of year, moments …
More More
Last week I posted about my word for 2025, More. Today I want to continue our conversation. As I contemplated what “more” will look like, I realized my interpretation may not be what God has in mind. My immediate thought went to getting my novel published, which in my imagination would give me permission to …
