If the night wasn’t so dark, we wouldn’t see the reality of stars. On the black canvas of what you’re going through, I see how your spirit shines. God is an artist, who creates beauty with contrast
Simple Faith: Believe in what you can’t see
Faith is the ability to walk blindfolded across a tight rope. We need reminders that it’s possible to have unshakable confidence in nonphysical senses. How else could we ever traverse the narrow rope that lead to God? Impossible trust is a gift He wishes everyone would ask for.
Spiritual Journey: when you need to say YES to God’s generosity
God doesn’t care if you’re still in pajamas or how long its been since you washed your hair. Every day, He shows up with an expectant grin to knock on the door of your soul. He waits patiently with a bouquet of roses, heart-shaped balloons and a flash mob of angels at His disposal, fully […]
Simple faith: Embrace the gift of new life
Babies are reminders of the innocence God used to create us. I can’t believe He lets us cradle pure love in our arms. He must really trust the process of life. He must really believe we can all come back to the truth of who we are.

A busy mom’s prayer
Lord, You know I love my children more than anything on this earth. I want to give them the very best that life has to offer, but I find that I’m constantly pulled beyond my limits. Between their needs and all of my other responsibilities, I really need Your help. Be my eyes, when they are […]
Encouragement! For when you need a burst of hope to get through hard times
Remember how He created light out of darkness with the power of His word? No matter what kind of a black hell you’re going through, don’t be fooled – He wants to do the same for you. Just open Your heart to Him as large as you can in prayer, even just a tiny crack is […]
Spiritual Journey: When you need to persist in prayer
Prayer isn’t a magic wand, but it can be an eternal elixir. We can’t control the way God answers us, but we can open up to Divine possibilities. Even when He says no to our outrageous demands and gently redirects us to a greater plan, He gives us an opportunity to drink in His spirit […]
