I heard this song by Phil Wickham for the first time this fall. Maybe it was because I hadn’t been to a concert in a few years and had missed seeing like-minded believers raising their voice in song all together. Maybe it was because I was in a low season in my life and wantingContinue reading “Hymn of Heaven”

I was having a conversation with a friend the other day about an area in my life God has been convicting me in. I am generally a nice person. However, I get stressed out when making customer service calls to get things fixed, most namely one of our utilities. I always know I’ll be onContinue reading “Even When God Convicts, It’s Done Out of Love”

I talk a lot about how personal our God is. He loves us so much and because He created us, He knows what we need the most and what speaks directly to our hearts. I love nature, but I’m highly allergic to certain plants…stinging nettle in particular. Knowing this, I’ve been very careful for theContinue reading “Did You Say Your Prayers This Morning? God wanted me to tell you, “He’s Got This!””

When you’re faced with a decision in life, is your first thought to pray about it? To ask for God’s will and then be okay with the answer – either a yes, no, or wait? Do you want God’s will for your life? Why or why not? If you answered that you do want God’sContinue reading “If It’s God’s Will for Your Life, No Man Can Take it Away.”

I heard this gem of wisdom from a dear friend of mine last summer. I’m in a transition parenting season: one child is fully an adult, one child is transitioning into adulthood and another is still being actively parented. At times that summer I wondered how much of my mom voice I use, and howContinue reading “Don’t Mute Your Mom Voice”

I spoke last time about how God invited me many years ago to begin a blessings journal. Blessings journals can be beautiful (like some I’ve been gifted over the years) or as easy as buying a notebook at the store. What truly matters is that it’s something that speaks to you and you get excitedContinue reading “The Blessings Box”

I was challenged many years ago to start a blessings journal. Basically, it was to take time every day to write down the blessings God gave me (and/or my family) for that particular day. It could be something as simple as finding money in my coat pocket I’d forgotten I put there, to someone payingContinue reading “Blessings Journal”

I’m not sure exactly how many years ago it was that I was introduced to this tradition, but our family has been putting it into practice ever since and I want to encourage you this morning to consider starting it with your own family. Kent Julian is someone whose blog I follow. You can findContinue reading “The Power of the Blessing”
