“Do you trust me? Do you trust me?!” Yessss…?” “Then JUMP!” That’s a quote from the ol’ Disney classic, Aladdin. A conversation between Aladdin and Jasmine that I have had all too frequently with God. You see, the Lord has been teaching me a lot about trust through some recent circumstances in my life. About … [Read more…]
The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? Psalm 118:6 Our pediatric dentist office is a kid’s dream! There are lots of toys, books, and free video games. Who am I kidding; it’s just as much an adult’s dream. They have PacMan! Included in the waiting room … [Read more…]
I recently saw this post on Facebook – “Until God opens the next door, Praise Him in the hallway”. Being someone who is presently sitting in the hallway wondering where I’m supposed to serve next, I thought WOW! I know He has a plan and I know I’m supposed to be doing something – … [Read more…]
Whether or not we know it, we are all incredibly weak. Do you remember when Jesus said this… Luke 12 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious … [Read more…]

I was so afraid to let go. I was afraid I would lose my edge, lose my drive, and my purpose. I feared I would be “missing out” on the exciting part of life. I didn’t want to hear that things were still happening and I wasn’t a part of it all. I knew, however, … [Read more…]
Pushing, stressing, and straining are not how God intends for you to live, work, or serve. Instead He instructs you to seek Him first, trust Him always, and obey Him wholly. Follow that plan and the rest of God is your sure reward. If you sync with Him, the boundaries and balance in this life … [Read more…]
In whom do you trust? Take a few minutes this morning and really consider that question? When things in your life seem hopeless, out of control, too great, or you simply feel like you’ve run out of options, where do you go? It’s different for all of us, but I’m willing to bet that you’ve … [Read more…]
Every morning we have a choice. Fear God or fear the world. And every day at some point I seem to choose to fear the world. I allow worry to overtake my confidence and selfishness to take the place of God on the throne of my heart. Yet we serve a faithful, loving, ever-present and … [Read more…]
