I have been reading through the book of Matthew this summer and the other day I was in chapter 15, specifically in verses 21-39 where the feeding of the 4,000 occurs. I have been doing a study by Tara Leigh Cobble alongside the book of Matthew and she made an interesting connection to the numberContinue reading “trust in God”

go to God.
Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know. Jeremiah 33:3 Repent at my rebuke! Then I will pour out my thoughts to you, I will make known to you my teachings. Proverbs 1:23 I have been in a season of journaling where I oftenContinue reading “go to God.”
Self-Denial
“That we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name.” The end of the confession prayer. As I sat in church awhile back, I couldn’t help but think back to the book, Jesus Over Everything, and how this is what a life with Jesus is all about.Continue reading “Self-Denial”
Quiet Ministry.
Look at my Servant, whom I have chosen. He is my Beloved, who pleases me. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he will proclaim justice to the nations. He will not fight or shout or raise his voice in public. He will not crush the weakest read or put out a flickering candle.Continue reading “Quiet Ministry.”
Weakness.
I have read and heard the verses in 2 Corinthians 12:8-10 many times. They are all about the Apostle Paul’s thorn in his side, his pleading with God to remove it, how and why God left it. And so, the famous bible verse became… “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is madeContinue reading “Weakness.”
Goodness & Faithfulness
In Genesis, Abraham gets this wild promise from God: Then the LORD said to him, “Know for certain that for four hundred years your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own and they will be enslaved and mistreated. But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they willContinue reading “Goodness & Faithfulness”
ALL ARE WELCOME
You can be sure that no immoral, impure, or greedy person will inherit the kingdom of Christ and of God. For a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world. Ephesians 5:5 It’s interesting, this verse coming shortly after Paul’s big talk on unity. Because it almost depicts heaven as something thatContinue reading “ALL ARE WELCOME”
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”
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”
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”
