Philippians 1:6 says, “For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work among you will complete it.” I grew up knowing that verse, yet recently the Holy Spirit opened my eyes to see the context of that verse, and how its truth is more powerful than I had realized. …

I just want to share this song. I was released last year, but I feel like so much of it was written for now. “Joy still comes in the morningHope still walks with the hurtingIf you’re still alive and breathing, Praise the Lord!Don’t stop dancing and dreaming,There’s still good news worth repeating,So lift your head and …

I’ve been pretty quiet these last few months for various reasons.

Hello world! I know it’s been a month since I blogged. I’ve got thoughts… things I want to blog about… things I want to share. But the launch of the school year and an increase of the load at work has slightly overwhelmed me lately. Nevertheless… here’s my song right now. Perhaps it’s fitting.(You can …
For You have been my helpAnd in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy. That’s Psalm 63:7 — one of my favorite Psalms — and this little verse points to one perspective-changing truth. Whether or not we have joy is dependent upon my proximity to God, relationship with God, and reliance upon God. …
I feel led to share this again…perhaps because, as my pastor so accurately said last night, God is stirring in His people. He’s calling many of us to step outside our comfort zones, to be obedient, and to trust Him on deeper levels. I wrote this almost exactly two years ago… but it’s just as …
Right now, at this very moment, I am in awe of the beauty and power of surrender. Take a look at this picture: What does it make you think of? To me, this image…that of someone standing with face raised to the heavens and arms wide open and extended…evokes two ideas: Surrender and Freedom. Surrender …
It’s Gratitude Monday, but before I add to my list, I want to share something. The past few days were an amazing weekend in several ways…some of them quite different than I expected. That’s not a bad thing, though. I find myself realizing, in a new way (again), how walking with God is a step …
