There are so many unknowns right now. So many what ifs. When we dwell on those the anxiety rises within us. But what if we focused on what we already know to be true? God has given us His Word that is FULL of things we don’t have to wonder or worry about. What if we fixated on these things instead? What if we memorize what is TRUE and stop thinking about what isn’t. We don’t have to wonder if we are loved or forgiven or have purpose or are accepted. We don’t have to wonder if we have a ...

Because He Lives
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow. And the next day and the next day and the next day. I refuse to give into the “pandemic” of fear that is filling my feed, filling the news, and filling our conversations.

The Love Notes from God in My Yard
I tell this story every fall. I love fall. I love the colors. The yellow-orange leaves have always been my very favorite. When we bought this house five years ago it was during the summer. We had no idea what color these trees would turn. And just like God, who loves giving gifts to His children, the leaves in my front yard turn to this glorious yellow-orange color every year. Every single yellow leaf is like a love note from God. I am loved. I am liked. I am never alone. The God of the ... Read More about The Love Notes from God in My Yard
