The Open Bible

I sat at my kitchen table and opened my Bible to search for a specific passage. That was months ago. That same Bible has remained open on the kitchen table ever since. I remember hearing about families from decades ago who would have a Bible sitting on their coffee table, in full sight (in fact,…

God Is In All The Details!

An aspect of God that delights me is how detail-oriented He is. In every area of our lives, He truly does care about and coordinate so many details! There are many stories from my own life about this. Today, I'm writing about a story of...A cat! One evening last year as I walked out of…

Single Sundays Repost

(5 years ago now, I wrote a series of posts on this blog called "Single Sundays in February." 5 years later, I still have a passion to reach out to single people. Even within the Church, many single people left out or misunderstood. With the coming of Valentine's Day (which has been secularized, and is…

Eternal, Life-Revolutionizing Friendships.

Being someone who tends to struggle with technology, I'm thankful to have some family and friends whom I can call upon when having struggles with these things. A friend who I'll call "R." recently helped me figure out something with my phone, a feature that I didn't think my phone had. And yet, it did!…

The Call Looked Different.

I was barely a young adult, just trying to figure out what in the world God had planned for my life. There were so many options! And me being me, I wanted to know all the answers--now! It was (and still is) so important to me to be living in God's purpose for my life.…

Singles: Thrive in 2022!

But going into yet another new year as a solo person might not have crossed your mind. Maybe being single is not…

Reflecting on 2021.

Every year, I attempt to write a reflection on the year which is exiting as I prepare for a new year. So, without further ado, here is a quick reflection on 2021. What I've learned throughout these past 2 years is that having Christ is having everything. He provides for every need. In the midst…

Open Hands

I tend to have strong preferences about certain things. Those who know me might disagree, as there are certain areas where I can be pretty flexible. It doesn't take much for me to be content. However, there are a few areas of my life in which I have quite strong preferences. I was bringing one…

The Perfect Timing.

"Why is everything happening all at once?" I wondered. My level of stress was high. I had strict work deadlines to meet, and then a trip for a work training out of town during the exact same time period. In the midst of all the things needing to be done, I neglected my own care…

On Home and HOME.

I placed the key in the lock and walked in, not knowing what to expect. The outside had looked nice, but how would the inside be? As I took in the room before me, I gasped. I began to walk through and look at the various features of the space, peace flooding my spirit as…
