Perhaps God Won’t but Perhaps God Will
Perhaps God won’t but perhaps, sweet friend, God will… When we were dating, my husband tried to win me a bear at the amusement park. I would hate to know how much money he wasted on all the games he lost. Nevertheless, he kept trying for a chance that “perhaps” he would get lucky and impress me with…

When Prayer Becomes a Struggle
Can I let you in on a little secret that the enemy doesn’t want you to find out? There will be days you won’t feel like praying. Days your heart will struggle to find the words. Other days you will struggle to know what to pray. Your mind will race to figure out the things you need to ask for,…

How Big Assignments Can Leave You Feeling Small

How Do I Truly Love Jesus?… Let Me Count the Ways
As I sat with a pen to paper to journal my thoughts, I was slightly convicted. I had just spent my morning time in Song of Solomon Chapter 5:10-16 reading and, in a sense, quietly listening to a woman completely in love and smitten with her man describe him to me.
