A New Name

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them? Psalm 8:3-4 I wonder this often. That we serve a God who hung the moon and the starsContinue reading “A New Name”

Here For More

This life is so much bigger than ourselves. This life is so much more than the pain, the sorrow, the joy and the comfort. In Psalm 30 we see moments where God was angry with David and hid his face from David, but we also know this to be true, “Yet, as he looked backContinue reading “Here For More”

Waiting Season

Do you ever have those seasons in your life where it feels like the only question everyone asks you is the one question you want nothing to do with? Maybe you don’t want to be asked because it feels to raw and vulnerable. Maybe you don’t want to be asked because it is annoying andContinue reading “Waiting Season”

Confidence

In March of 2022 I wrote a blog about having faith. Within that blog I talked briefly about my desire to live and teach in Hawaii. I talked about having radical faith and the struggle I had faced as I worked to figure out if this was my will or God’s will. Well, almost twoContinue reading “Confidence”

Embrace Sacrifice

That is what Jesus calls us to. When we sacrifice, we are picking up our cross daily, we are acknowledging that Jesus is Lord over our lives, and we are trusting in who He is, in what He says, and in His plan and purpose over our lives. Sacrifice in the Old Testament, from theContinue reading “Embrace Sacrifice”

Peace.

“But don’t be fooled; if peace is what we seek, we will find it’s true sources only in Christ.” ~Ruth Chou Simons If you have known Jesus for any amount of time, you know that the way He lived was completely opposite of the world. The whole “In the world, but not of the world,”Continue reading “Peace.”

Prepare Him Room

The other morning I read through Psalm 78, disclaimer, it is a long one. But, it summarizes the story of Israel: God’s people, their salvation, their foolishness, and His unwavering jealous heart FOR THEM. The Psalm outlines miracle after miracle that God provided. Getting them out of Egypt, the wilderness, saving them from themselves overContinue reading “Prepare Him Room”

He Makes a Way

I have written in my journal for the past few weeks my thoughts and my feelings, my testimony to what I have been walking through after the fire. I have been trying to find the words that truly put into perspective what I have lived the past six weeks. I have read verse after verseContinue reading “He Makes a Way”

Light

Today, I begin again. That is the beauty of being a teacher. There is always a new beginning. Two months goes by quickly, way too quickly if you ask me. It feels like I blink and it’s over. But something I have been after in this season of my life is being present. When IContinue reading “Light”

A good God.

The king said to Daniel, “Truly, your God is the greatest of gods, the Lord over kings, a revealer of mysteries, for you have been able to reveal this secret.” Daniel 2:47 Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for just such a time as this? Esther 4:14 God knows me by name andContinue reading “A good God.”
