Internal Hurricanes: Stop the Storm Around You From Becoming the Storm Inside You

August 27, 2021 No Comments

Recently, in our corner of the world, we had a hurricane threat. I’m not one to pay much attention to all the weather hype, but the messages we were experiencing were intense. Protect your property and your life. Make sure to have food, fuel, etc. for at least three days. Expect to be without power. News channels reported a potential direct hit by said hurricane. The day before the storm I was working my retail […]

Closing Chapters and Turning the Page

August 18, 2021 No Comments

I like to hold on to things. Whether it be a relationship, a past season, reveling in the good times or processing through the bad, I have a difficult time letting things go. These past several months, I have been learning a lot about the art of letting go. There are times in our lives when God is asking us to close the chapter behind us and turn the page into the new thing He […]

Changing the Script

August 8, 2021 No Comments

This past week God has been speaking to me about narratives. As people, we love the power of storytelling. While we might become disengaged when it comes to the facts, we connect with stories. We are engaged, intrigued, inspired. Of particular interest as of late, is the stories we tell ourselves. Whether we realize it or not, there is an ongoing narrative that goes on in our minds. Our narrative strings each event together, every […]

From a “Home” called Fear to a Wilderness called Faith and Freedom

July 30, 2021 No Comments

Recently, I left Home. I use the word Home loosely, as a reference to a place I’ve become quite familiar with and one in which I’ve spent much time throughout my life. It’s been a place of safety, one in which I’ve found comfort. Although it has changed throughout the years, it is a place of predictability. In some ways, it has been a place of stability. I run this place, nothing escapes my notice […]

Freedom + Breakthrough, Spiritually Revive

Free.

Wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Freedom. (2 Cor. 3:17) Yesterday was an ordinary day. I woke up, got ready and went to work. I came home relaxed, made dinner and did some house cleaning, just like I do most Wednesday nights. Although yesterday was just an ordinary day, I found myself bursting with joy and gratitude. I found myself content. I found myself loving life and loving myself. Although yesterday was […]

Be Confidently You

June 3, 2021 1 Comment

But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. (Jeremiah 17:7) Lately, God has been speaking to me about confidence. It’s a message that He is speaking to me internally and one that has been echoed all around me in this season. Confidence is not something I have had a lot of in my life. No matter how well I performed or how many friends I […]

Take Hold

But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do. (James 1:6-8) I used to look at this verse so differently. I used to read it something like this: “But when you ask, you better […]

Risen

“He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying.” (Matt. 28:6) He isn’t here. He is risen. Risen from the dead. Although He took the sin, the disease, the hurt, the pain, the trauma and the wounds of the whole world, He has risen where He is now seated in the Kingdom of love with our heavenly Father. He has risen. Risen […]

If you see something, say something

Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy. (Prov. 31:8-9) Who out there loves confrontation? Not me. Unfortunately, it is a necessary element in growth, maturity and certainly in leadership. Have you ever witnessed something that was clearly wrong or harmful and felt your gut twist as you wondered if you should say […]

The Importance of Loving You

February 5, 2021 No Comments

“I love each of you with the same love that the Father loves me. You must continually let my love nourish your hearts.” (John 15:9) This Valentine’s Day will be different for me. This time around I’m married. I’ve found my forever person to spend every Valentine’s Day with now going forward. Praise Jesus. And while I am so excited for this new beginning, this morning I find myself reflecting on all the Valentine’s Days […]
