Devotionals

So, who are you voting for? Just kidding. I know who I’m voting for and you know who you are voting for … so, we’ll leave that right there.   We all have our reasons why we feel our particular candidate is the better choice. Maybe we like their platform or even their personality.  We may […]

My boys may look alike and share a common love for God and basketball, but don’t let that fool you…they are VERY different. One is structured, the other is free spirited. One likes people but appreciates his ’alone time,’ the other thrives around people and could be around them 24/7. One takes quite awhile to […]

The other night I had a strange dream.  I was in the process of taking a turn on a busy road, and instead of taking a left turn, as I originally intended, I took a right turn.  I went on my way just fine, but when I looked back I saw that my last second […]

As soon as the Fall of 2019 rolled around, I knew this was it. Within a year, my baby would graduate from high school and leave for college. Just thinking about it put a lump in my throat, butterflies in my stomach and filled my heart with anxiety. ‘I gotta get a grip,’ I thought. […]

All right, kids, settle in, it’s testimony time… Our church recently completed a 40 day fast. It started in August as a 21 day fast.  We decided to participate as a family.  The kids were starting a new school year at a new school, and they were starting virtually instead of in person. I know […]

I am an essential worker. On the days I go in to work, my husband quietly waits by the door to pray for me as I lace up my sneakers in the garage. This has been our routine for the past few months. We both know that when I leave our safe little fortress, I […]

Back in January of 2019, my sister, Anu, encouraged us to create an ‘altar of remembrance.’ So I did. And over the past couple of months, my altar (aka- thankfulness jar) has been filling up at an alarmingly faster rate than usual. In July, my older son recovered from COVID-19. Thank you Jesus! Time to […]

When I was 16 years old, I had my first job as an “orderly” at a hospital.  I was entrusted with transporting patients to and from the radiology department.   I’m not sure what the patients thought when they saw me coming with the wheelchair or stretcher, but thankfully, we all survived. It’s not something […]

My life hasn’t turned out exactly like I imagined. I didn’t go to my dream college. I scored lower on standardized tests than I would’ve liked. I tried to get into a graduate program twice before I was accepted into one. I wasn’t accepted into my first choice of post-graduate training. I didn’t get married […]

I know we sounded like crazy parents, but we couldn’t help ourselves. In the days leading up to dropping our son off to college, my husband and I felt the need to squeeze in every last piece of advice we could think of… –Don’t do weed. People may try to convince you that it’s practically […]
