• Going to Battle for our Children

    The house was quiet and everyone was tucked in bed. I flipped off the last light switch and was heading to sleep myself when I felt the sudden unction to pray for my children. I’ve realized lately the need to go to war for them. From questionable ads on their devices to alluring billboards on […]

  • I was a Match

    Over a decade ago, my friend organized a “bone marrow donor” drive to help save her friend’s little boy. He had been diagnosed with cancer, and was in need of a bone marrow transplant. They needed to find a “match” for him. My friend was informed the chances of finding a match might be higher […]

  • Preparing Our Children

    Growing up, I had the privilege of being raised in a loving home. It was such a protective environment that I believe I may have been sheltered from challenges along life’s journey. As a result, my understanding of God was that if you believe in Him, then bad things do not happen to you. Imagine […]

  • We Do What We Hear

    Lately I’ve been listening to some content online about health and the benefits of certain habits, such as fasting.  There was one weekend a few weeks ago that I stumbled upon one video and continued to listen to several videos in the series.  Hearing the science behind how our bodies respond to things like sugar, […]

  • Choices

    I was in the floral section of the local grocery store yesterday, trying to decide between bouquets. It was a colleague’s birthday and I wanted her to feel extra special. I was short on time so I quickly chose a beautiful pink bunch and made my way to the cashier. Whether I chose carnations, roses, […]

  • Do You Believe it?

    “There are those that read the Bible and then there are those that believe it.” When I was young, my father would sit at our dining room table with stacks of Bibles and Bible Commentaries. From the NIV to ASB, we had most versions. The table looked like it was meant at a library, not […]

  • Record of Rights

    How is your memory?  I would like to blame my age, but the truth is my husband, Lance, and I have struggled with remembering things for a while now. Thank God for Google calendars.  This memory issue was really brought to light on our 20th anniversary. Because Covid had prevented our travel plans from happening, […]

  • Kick Fear to the Curb

    The other night, I woke up suddenly in the middle of the night. This rarely happens to me. I felt something squeezing my heart, almost choking me. My eyes stared into the pitch black. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it, but something didn’t feel right.Fear.That’s what it was. It was gripping me…here…in the […]

  • Remember the Sabbath

    Oh, the good old days.I’m not talking about a particular decade or generation. I’m talking about kindergarten.  Recess was scheduled and nap time was required. Back then, I knew how awesome recess was, but nap time was the worst. We were forced to put our heads down on our desk, or lay down on our […]

  • I Don’t Understand

    I didn’t understand.I didn’t get it. For eight years, I had worked with people that became family.We were a team. I can’t even explain the chemistry.They threw me baby showers.They wrote sweet cards for my birthday.We laughed together, we were there for each other. Then, one day, they announced that our company was being sold.We […]
