The Wonder of Waiting
Three years ago I shared a Christmas poem. I didn’t share it with a lot of people, but I did send it to a dear man named Doug. Doug was the one who led my dad to Christ, the one that showed him he could have a personal relationship with God and be assured of…

Joy for all the World
What is the hope this season truly brings? What is the meaning of the joyous words so many sing? Long ago, a promise for restoration was made Yet through the years of waiting this truth seemed to fade. Would the debts and wounds of sin ever be paid? But when Heaven’s Child came as…

Moving…my Story
A move-most people experience a few of those in their lives. I have in fact experienced more than a few. Saturday I packed up all of my belongings and set off on the 20th move in my life. For anyone, that might seem like a lot, but as I am 28, this seems especially daunting.…

Finished a First!
These past ten weeks I have had the privilege of leading a women’s Bible study from a book called Seasons of Waiting. I was pretty nervous at the beginning- I have never done anything like this! Yet, this was such a joy and gift to spend the time studying through God’s Word. He has great…

Trying too hard
“How are you doing?” A question many of us get asked multiple times a day. Sometimes I wonder what people’s reactions would be if I answered that honestly. “Terrible.” “Questionable.” “Way more emotional than I would want.” A time and place exists to be that honest, but before I can even dare to be sincere…

Singleness, Studying, and the Sovereignty of God
As a kid I always look forward to treats ( I have my dad’s sweet tooth) and would get excited about almost anything dessert-like. But the best treats were the surprise ones. On special occasions my mom would come home from the grocery store and tell me she got me something “just for fun.” It…

Ecuador, my Home
“Where’s home?” A fairly normal question, but one that’s never a short answer from me. By the age of 10 I had moved more than 10 times, and unless you moved out of a state, I didn’t even consider going to a different house a “real move.” Yet still, at the age of 27, I…

Still wanna be like my dad
Life is full of change, and even at the start of a new year, questions loom at what it will bring. What goals will be attained? What prayers will be answered, or more fearfully won’t be answered? What will the greatest joy, or even the deepest hurt? As this year starts, one hope remains that I…
