I am becoming so aware of how much time I waste. I was reading Psalm 119:37 yesterday, “Turn my eyes from worthless things, and give me life through Your word.” Also, Psalm 101:3 “I will set no worthless thing before my eyes…” There are so many worthless things! How quickly I am caught up […]

WASH YOUR HANDS
Maybe you’ve seen the little sign floating around on social media. It says “Wash your hands and say your prayers, because Jesus and germs are everywhere.” It’s catchy, it’s cute, and I am definitely going to have to make one of those for my bathroom wall. But you know it’s profoundly true, as well. We […]
MORE THAN REASONABLE
If you grew up going to Sunday School like I did, you are pretty familiar with the Israelites and their history. If you didn’t, I offer a very brief summary. God chose them to be His very own people through whom He would show the entire world that He alone was God. A covenant was […]
INVESTMENT STRATEGY
“I admit that I haven’t yet acquired the absolute fullness that I’m pursuing, but I run with passion into His abundance so that I may reach the purpose that Jesus Christ has called me to fulfill and wants me to discover. I don’t depend on my own strength to accomplish this; however I do have […]

What does it mean to live out our commitment to Christ? What does it look like to answer the call of the great commission? I’ve heard many sermons that would give the impression that if we fully surrender our wills to the Lord He will make huge demands on us and turn our lives completely […]
HOPE FOR TIRED HEARTS
Our hearts get tired. The world spins, life rushes, and we sometimes don’t know how we will keep up. We want to slow everything down just long enough to get caught up on rest so that we can carry on. If by some happy circumstance we actually feel like we’re not running behind, it’s not […]
DEEPER ROOTS
I have been guilty of collecting books on my Kindle, putting off reading them, and then getting sidetracked and forgetting all about them. Lately, I found a gem just waiting for me to rediscover it, and the timing was perfect. It’s another book by Andrew Murray (I highly recommend any book he authored!) titled “Spirit […]
