Imagine waiting. I don't mean one to two days or even a week or year, but decades. Imagine having the vision of where your going but not knowing how to get there. Or worse, seeing yourself going in the seemingly opposite direction. That is the story of Joseph's life. At seventeen years old he was... Continue Reading →
Trust in Insecurity {#Write31Days}
I remember being told that I was insecure. I was shocked when the words left my pastor's lips. I was sitting there beside my husband in marriage counseling. It was a challenge to this confident appearing lion personality. It took some self-reflection to see it wasn't a judgement on my pastor's part, it was discernment from God... Continue Reading →
Commit to succeed {#Write31Days}

Saved {#Write31Days}
God came to save me, even when I didn't trust in Him. The first was at Calvary where He paid for my sins. For this one I am most grateful, for all trust in Him was born out of His love for me. If I hadn't learned of His love, I probably would not have... Continue Reading →
Trust in the Failure {Write31Days}

Searching {#Write31Days}

Double-minded trust {#Write31Days}
The book of Luke (Luke 1:5-25) begins with a story that I can relate to about double-mindedness. It is the story of a Jewish priest Zechariah and his wife Elizabeth and their quest for a baby in their old age. From the story, it is apparent they had been praying to God for a child. One...

Perfect Peace {#Write31Days}
Perfect Peace. That is the only way I can explain the past ten months. I never thought that I would be able to deal with the death of my mother, let alone stand in peace at her side as she passed. My trust has been in God and God alone through this time. When my... Continue Reading →
