God’s Creation

This is a question I answered from my devotional this morning, “What aspects of creation remind you of God’s care?” Here are mine (a wide open ocean, a frozen lake, fresh falling snow, the sunrise, but more so the sunset, rolling hills and mountain peeks, a quiet lake with the call of a loon, andContinue reading “God’s Creation”

Centered on Jesus

I was reading through an old journal this morning. I was struggling with finding God, with connecting with God, with just being with Him. I have kind of been in that season lately. Not far from God, but just a little off beat. Almost like I am missing what He has for me in thisContinue reading “Centered on Jesus”

By faith, through grace, for good works.

I’m going to be honest, Hebrews is a book in the bible that confuses me. It is one I do not read often and it is one that is filled with so much information. One of the pastors at Hosanna recently referred to it as “A summary of the bible.” Well, no wonder it isContinue reading “By faith, through grace, for good works.”

His goodness prevails

A few quick updates: I now officially have my own room in Hawaii. It’s peaceful to have a space that is all my own, especially in a time where I never know when I will run into my latest roommate in the kitchen, a rat. At least I hope it is just one and IContinue reading “His goodness prevails”

The Unseen

I am back at LAX, still no signs of Justin or Hailey Bieber. But, in other news my new SIL had Hailey Bieber nails for the wedding (S/O to you Lace) and they were flawless. Okay, now for the real post. I woke up to a whole bunch of reminders, memories, and what used toContinue reading “The Unseen”

Rest in the Lord

It is Labor Day, yes they do celebrate that in Hawaii, it is still a part of the United States. Although, I did find out a few weeks ago that statehood over here is controversial. Needless to say, I have the day off and I am feeling blessed. Normally I spend Labor Day weekend atContinue reading “Rest in the Lord”

Begin with community.

I appeal to you, dear brothers and sisters, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, to live in harmony with each other. Let there be no divisions in the church. Rather, be of one mind, united in thought and purpose. 1 Corinthians 1:10 Relationships are a tricky thing. As community is built around us,Continue reading “Begin with community.”

Grateful

When we look for gratitude, when we look to be thankful, as Christians, we look to God. We look to Him for what He is doing in our life. We recognize all He has done, how he has worked His goodness into each circumstance in our lives. Psalm 105 tells us to praise the Lord:Continue reading “Grateful”

Purpose.

I have been journaling quite a lot about this topic lately and I have been doing so through different lenses and perspectives. It has taken me a minute to get all of my thoughts wrapped around all of this, in fact, I think I am still working on it. But, despite the jumble of itContinue reading “Purpose.”

Love.

Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apartContinue reading “Love.”
