Our second date was at Lakewood Church for their Wednesday night worship service. Somehow, early on, he knew the way to my heart. Having grown up going to church every week, I couldn’t say no when he invited me. But, he wasn’t asking me there to impress me. He was being intentional. In this season

Last week marked the 3 year anniversary of me consistently going to the gym.   While that may not seem like a big deal to you, it is a HUGE deal to me.  You see for years I had a gym membership where I paid a small monthly fee, but I rarely went.  But even so,

There’s this satisfaction I get when I catch all the green lights on my drive to work. It’s like I’m trying to make it in record time!  But a few Fridays ago, I was actually relieved when I caught a red light and had a few more moments to myself before the rush of my

In 1 Kings chapter 19, we encounter an exhausted Elijah. He prays to die and the Lord provides him with fresh bread and water. He goes into the cave and then experiences the majestic presence of God in the form of a gentle whisper. God asks him twice “What are you doing here?” Elijah responds

My technician and I still laugh about it today. The timing was crazy! We were short handed and she needed the upcoming Saturday off. All week long, I tried. I reached out to our team, but no one could cover her shift…and we still had no solid leads with the technician job posting that had

I had a special request for my husband when we first started getting to know each other: Please don’t say “I love you” until you are ready to make a commitment and propose. Love was sacred to me, and I needed some assurance that he was willing to make sacrifices and be devoted to me
