2 Corinthians 5 It used to be really complicated to switch from one phone to another. Still is, I guess, depending if you are switching teams (Android/iPhone) but overall has become drastically easier. Recently my husband and I upgraded our phones, and to update my iPhone to the latest software I needed to clear outContinue reading “My New Phone reminded me of My New Life”

I have to take caution when I am in a season of waiting. Not necessarily because I am scared of going down the wrong path or making the wrong move, more because I am scared I will acquire a new behavior amid my impatience. Impatience is an ugly trait. It’s whiny and high-pitched. It canContinue reading “Restlessly Waiting or Running to Him?”

1 Corinthians 13 I’ve always been one to follow the rules. After all, I did cry my eyes out in grade school when my teacher moved my clothespin to “red light” since I wouldn’t stop talking. In my defense, I had no idea she was trying to get the classes’ attention! So it’s natural, asContinue reading “To Have, or To Have Not Love?”

Isaiah 43 There is nothing worse than the shame that is chained to our transgressions. It wears us down, shouts a condemning voice, and witholds us from God’s kindness and freeing promises. I have a vivid memory, while I was in college, laying in bed and replaying a sin I committed over and over againContinue reading “His to Carry – A Gospel Reminder”

Isaiah 45 Over and over again, even in the Christian community, the message preached is that behavioral change results permanent change. Can you think of one time in your life this may have been true? For example, do you know how many times I’ve intentionally woken up earlier to exercise, had been consistent for aContinue reading “Go Before Me, Pave the Way”

James 3 I was often asked, when someone learned of where I fell in the sibling order, if I was the peace maker. I was a middle child, but in a family of 4 kids, so was my older sister, Nicole. She was the true peace maker – and as she always says, can “seeContinue reading “Tongue Taming Takes Two”

Psalm 25 and Psalm 27 We’re approaching 18 months since we packed up our cape in the Great White North (aka the beautiful state of New Hampshire) and made our trek down to the sunny south. In those 18 months, I’ve really battled understanding what we are doing here while simultaneously loving this area. TheContinue reading “What a Friend to Wait on”

Romans 14 My parents put us kids in public school growing up, which is something they’d say they never regret. And us kids, too, had a really positive experience. There seems to be two outlooks, as Christians, for the choice of school; whether it’s private, public, or homeschool. Either you feel God’s calling and convictionContinue reading “Pursuing Peace Over Partiality”

Genesis 15 If you were to visit me in the town we live in, it’s possible that you’d take a neighborhood walk with my husband and I. We’d likely make a grocery run together, you’ll watch me apologize to the neighbors for my dog crossing into their yard, and possibly attend church Sunday morning withContinue reading “Running Scared, or Walking in Obedience?”
