"Trust in the Lord with all your heart" Proverbs 3:5
Remember when you were a child and you would spin in a circle as fast as you could, for as long as you could, until you fell over? There were many techniques to this. You had to consider where to look: you could pick a focal point right in front of you and keep your [...]
In 2 Chronicles God asks Solomon what He should give him. Solomon says "...grant me wisdom and knowledge so that I may lead these people..." God gives Solomon what he asked for, but He acknowledges that Solomon could have asked for much more. God said to Solomon, “Because your greatest desire is to help your [...]
I was watching a video where a woman was talking about following our callings, and she recited John 10:27: "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me." I instantly got emotional. For 3 years I've heard the message "wait." I don't know why, and I don't know what I'm waiting [...]
I was reading through 2 Samuel and noticed a name I had never paid much attention to: Ittai. Don't recognize the name either? Let's talk about who he was. Ittai was from Gath, a Philistine city.

One of my favorite things I bought in Italy is a Venetian glass necklace. Venice is known for their blown glass, and one of the places we went was a glass blowing company. It's a small, teardrop shaped piece of glass that reflects light in yellows, blues, purples, and oranges. Venice was the first city [...]
I've heard the verse a hundred times, but this time it hit different. I really thought about the meaning of the verse, and it impacted me in a whole new way. In Luke 12 :7, Jesus says "Indeed, the hairs of your head are all counted..." I had never really thought twice about this verse. [...]
"The Lord God formed out of the ground every wild animal and every bird of the sky, and brought each to the man to see what he would call it. And whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name." Genesis 2:19 This detail is such a beautiful image of fatherhood. I used [...]
