Miracle
You know those times in life when it’s ‘crunch time’, you’re out of options and have nowhere else to look but up? When you’ve exhausted all opportunities and none are coming through? When you’ve beat your head against the same brick wall for such a long time ...

The Dawning of Summer
First day of summer. Many thoughts come to mind: summer camp. Afternoon thunderstorms. My birthday. Swimming in the ocean! Walking to DQ on blazing hot summer afternoons with my friends. Scorched feet on concrete. Ice cream melting faster than I could eat it in my bikini on Captiva ...

An Open Confession
God, I’m so sorry for not making Your priorities mine these last few months. I’m sorry for vacillating between Your will and mine. I’m sorry for seeking to get my own needs met in place of Your will. Or in place of others’ needs. You keep repeating to me, through many ...

Traces of the World
I’m so excited to share this! Today, I was surprised to discover — halfway through the day — that it’s my spiritual birthday! All day long I’ve felt spoiled 😉 It’s been such an incredible day, to the point where I kept asking God what He was up to because ...
