Bitter-Sweet Goodbyes

Bitter-Sweet Goodbye

We’re all too familiar with God bidding us away from bad things. We struggle with depravity but accept His call with excitement to walk by the Spirit (Galatians 5:16-24). We leap for joy out of darkness into His marvelous light (1 Peter 2:9). But when He says to let go of something good, it’s a bitter-sweet…

Fulfilling the Vision

Fulfilling the Vision

You’ve prayed for God to lead. He’s given you big dreams. But from the moment you agreed to His calling, you’ve faced adversity.

Risen Indeed

He is Risen Indeed, and So Are You

Since I came to the Lord as a young adult, I didn’t grow up knowing all the peculiarities of the church. The first Easter I heard someone expectantly greet me with a peppy, “He is risen!” An awkward silence fell as I tried to respond. My gracious friend whispered the code, “You’re supposed to say,…

Take a Step of Faith

Take a Step of Faith and Walk in The Calling and Provision of God

God has called me to take a step of faith. I’m standing at the edge, with one foot over the precipice. Racing through my mind is if the timing is right, will I survive if I fall, and most importantly, am I following God or making my own way. I don’t think I’m alone in…

Do The Work

In the seasons between God speaking something to you, and the fulfillment of that promise—do the work. I find myself often looking backward and forward, and neglecting what I’m supposed to do right now. God wants you to remember what He has said and done as well as dream big for the future. But in…

Hints of Purpose in the Desires of Your Heart

Hints of Purpose in the Desires of Your Heart
