I’m sharing some things that God has placed on my heart, told through stories of what He’s done in my life in the last two years. I did this on Facebook live, but here is the recording which I’ve uploaded to YouTube.
Over the years on this blog, I’ve occasionally shared testimonies related to housing. In fact, 14 years ago on Thanksgiving morning, I shared the ups and downs of how God had directed us to move to Ohio. Today, I’ll share a story that’s kind of overdue since it’s over a year old. It’s a continuation of …
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. …

After years of almost silence on this blog, God has finally given me the words to start writing again. If you haven’t already, please read “A Habit of Trust.” I shared the culmination of these lessons in trust and the testimony of what God has done. I have so much to share… so many little …

I haven’t shared too much in the last two years compared to years ago. It’s been a long season of learning to trust, deeper and deeper and deeper, as God has walked my family through all sorts of things. He’s been working in me, but so much of it has been either intensely personal or …
