If you’re like me and I imagine many people, we grew up hearing and learning details of the awesome things that Jesus did for many of the people He met and whose lives He touched during His time here on this earth. Each story brings awe and wonder as to the depth of caring… Read More This Same Jesus!
I have many people in my life who I would consider to have big hearts. They often put the needs and desires of others ahead of their own. It seems very natural for them and always makes a big difference in the lives of those they touch. I imagine you know quite a few people… Read More Christmas is All in the Heart
This past week I started a new job. In many ways I feel very blessed to be given such an opportunity. I haven’t started with too many different companies in my career, but I will say that I believe the warm welcome I received from my new staff, my colleagues and many of the other… Read More Dare to Be Yourself
My husband and I are what some people would call musicaholics. I’m not sure where his deep interest in music came from, but mine was born from two parents who each had a strong interest in listening to music. My dad played the organ he bought for my sister and I, but played totally by… Read More Oh, I Believe!
Today was a unique day for me. I was blessed to be given the opportunity to work with a small, yet mighty team of people for the last six weeks. But as life can sometimes play out, I recently took a big left turn and accepted another position… Yes, so soon. For those of you… Read More What’s Your Personal “YAC”?
This morning started out like many other days in our lives. We were off to work, enjoying the day, maneuvering through the traffic and hoping that breakfast energy kicked in very soon. It was several hours in to the day when my sister text us a very powerful praise report. It was a clean bill… Read More Remember the Days You Prayed For What You Have Now!
My daughters have heard me say quite a few times of late, “don’t let anyone steal your joy”. It’s a simple, yet powerful statement, but admittedly one that is much easier to say, than to ever do. That particular saying talks about the power that one person can have over another’s life. Psychologists likely have… Read More Our God is a Chain Breaker!
This past Sunday we had a guest pastor share the sermon at our church. If you’re like me, there’s times when you can be just a bit hesitant to embrace someone being such a major part of the service that isn’t a regular part of your church. I must say though, that even though my… Read More Lord, Let Me Burn For You Again
Several times over the last few weeks I’ve heard John Legend’s popular song, “All of Me“. Interestingly, each time I’ve heard it, I have listened to the words that I’m pretty sure are meant to be 100% secular, yet, I’ve considered them from a spiritual and even Godly perspective. (I wonder just how many songs… Read More God Wants All of Us!
Today I’m going to tackle a really tough question. One that I imagine more of us have asked ourselves than we’d ever admit. How could God (still) love me? Those who have attended my leadership training over the years often heard me say that we are a by-product of our life experiences. That concept is important… Read More How Could God (Still) Love Me?
