The Flavor of God

I’m going through Hebrews twice, on purpose, to see more clearly how the whole of the book connects. I found my mind and eyes wandering this morning, though, eventually landing on a wall in my kitchen thinking about décor. I have a wooden sign with a verse from Psalms inscribed on it: Taste and see […]

When God Calls the Heart

Sometimes our hearts are called to do something big – big enough for the heart to palpitate between the giddiness that comes with dreaming of all the possibilities and the anxiety that comes with the sheer reality of it all.

Hope Hurts… Or Does It?

Hope hurts. It does! Especially when you bring it along an arduous journey with you. It’s like packing a silver candelabra to hike across the desert expecting to use it when you arrive to the promised palace at the end. The candelabra is your tangible hope for things unseen.

The Hunt Becomes the Treasure

I’m shifting into a new season – learning to live outside of survival mode. I’m transitioning from a period of years where there has been a lot of confusion, emotion, misunderstanding, shouting, and miscommunication. There has not been a lot of hope or encouragement just sitting around to be stumbled upon. It has become a […]
