So this past week on the Mingle, I kindly said “thanks, but no thanks” to a guy who kept making it quite clear that the distance between us just wasn’t going to work and that if anyone was going to be making trips to visit the other person it would be me. See, he kept… Continue reading Lingering on the Mingle …

Something More
"Stop hoping and start hoping!" - Dr. John Avant My pastor shared this point two weeks ago in his message about God's song for our country. His point was addressing the fact that we need to stop placing our hope in man and ultimately place it in the Lord as the only source for turning… Continue reading Something More
When Good Intentions Are Wrong
"The path to hell is lined with good intentions." That's the statement a friend of mine made to me a little while ago today when I asked him on how you know the difference of walking in the flesh and walking in the Spirit? I shared that it's not my desire to walk in the… Continue reading When Good Intentions Are Wrong
Confession …
They say (whoever, they are) confession is good for the soul. Well here it goes ... I am not perfect. It's ok to be appalled now and that shift you just felt in the atmosphere was the Earth coming to a halt at that revelation 🙂 I am and always have been the first to… Continue reading Confession …

At 32 years of age, the current details that make up my home aren't at all what… Continue reading A Placed Called Home

I am pretty sure that my mother would have never chosen that route for our family if it had been left to… Continue reading Have Mercy, Please
I Surrender But Not to This
Sixteen years ago today I was at my state's Youth Evangelism Conference in Nashville, TN. I was sitting in the basketball arena of Vanderbilt University when I wrote in the margin my blue leather NIV tabbed Bible next to Proverbs 3, a prayer surrendering my dating life to the Lord. However, it is what's not… Continue reading I Surrender But Not to This
In Everything Give Thanks
My dad has a sermon that he preaches on 1 Thessalonians 5:18 "in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." The key point in his sermon is that while we aren't always thankful for everything we can be thankful in everything. He typically then shares a personal example of… Continue reading In Everything Give Thanks
Much Needed Change
I have been sensing it for a while, several months even, that a change is coming. There has been a change in the atmosphere around me. While I have an idea of what it is based off of how the Lord has been changing the desires in my heart and my focus, I do not… Continue reading Much Needed Change
