In All Honesty

When I was a little girl, I remember looking out my parents’ bedroom window at a bright star in the sky and prayed, “please God, help me tell the truth.” I remember this prayer, as I was quite the imaginative girl, who liked to exaggerate the truth and make up stories that sounded better inContinue reading “In All Honesty”

I Doubt It

If there is anything I wrestle with, doubt is one of the more constant battles. I doubt what I hear God saying, I doubt what He asks me to do and sometimes I doubt myself, whether I can truly do the things God calls me to. This week, I found myself sitting in my cozyContinue reading “I Doubt It”

In Obediance

“In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.” Proverbs 16:9 Yesterday afternoon I worked on the blog post for today. I wrestled with it, I overthought it, and I rushed something that shouldn’t be rushed, all for the sake of, getting it done. By 9:00 in the evening, I was inContinue reading “In Obediance”

Isaiah 50:4 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit ofContinue reading “Words”

Same God

“I’m calling on the God of Mary, whose favor rests upon the lowly I know with You all things are possible.” Those lyrics echoed through the sanctuary of our church this Sunday, as voices were declaring that God is the same yesterday, today and forever. I’ve been singing this song for a few months now,Continue reading “Same God”

Christmas Presence

“I just want to make one more stop,” I told my best friend as we walked into the little shop in our outdated mall. Our purses hung over our shoulders, and our hair was curled; just two teenage girls pretending to be adults as we did our last-minute Christmas shopping just a short week beforeContinue reading “Christmas Presence”
