Hello everyone! This video is a follow-up to the long storytelling video from a week or so ago. I felt like there might be people who feel like I once did, thinking, “Wait a minute… God talks to me? What does that sound like? How do I learn what’s Him?” This shorter video attempts to …
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.
Fifteen years ago, I started this blog on a whim. I wasn’t really sure what I’d do with it, and I certainly didn’t think I’d be here, fifteen years later, still writing about hope! I took the name “Hope Is Calling” from the verse that is still, 15 years later, my favorite. [I pray that] …

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 …

I think I finally have the words and the permission to share something that has been getting stronger and stronger inside my heart over the past year or so. Holy Spirit, please open the eyes of our hearts to understand Your Word accurately. Last year at some point as I was reading my Bible, I …
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. …
