I needed a break. Life has a way of getting to hyper-speed if we let it. And I was starting to feel drained. The amount of energy I was giving throughout the week was not being replenished. To ramp up the pressure, fall was now in full swing with winter just around the bend. So… Continue reading A Moment of Renewal

Some things are learned the hard way. I've heard it said that life is like a school. And God has us here to learn about Him and how to be more like Him. Often this process of learning comes through tests. When it came to academic schooling, I did well at tests. I could even… Continue reading A Moment of Learning

Part of me thought he was kidding. But I know my husband better than that. "We should pull over and climb up the side of that mountain." He says so casually. We're driving through a beautiful area called Hatcher Pass and on our way to a respectable, well-used trail. I thought about shooting the idea… Continue reading A Moment of Bravery

We believe that we're telling the truth. But really we're lying to ourselves when we say it, "I just don't have time." This is by far the biggest excuse we give for not spending time with God.

Finding time to pray and get in my Bible just seems like less and less of a priority. In the busyness of… Continue reading A Moment of Humility

Our backyard was supposed to be mowed weeks ago. And I'm so glad it hasn't been. Not because I love knee-high grass or dandelions as far as the eye can see. Although it is kind of nice. Rather, it is the never-ending stream of small little sparrows that find their way to the field of… Continue reading A Moment of Purity

I admit that I'm guilty. I often attach my happiness and well-being to things other than the Lord. And I know I'm not the only one. It can be hard. Especially when the sun is shining and the day is going my way. Everything seems perfect. But then I wonder why I start to feel… Continue reading A Moment of Joy
