It’s been a long, dark season—both literally and spiritually—but summer is finally here, and with it, the quiet unfolding of something new. I’m typing this from my new office space, sunlight spilling in as I overlook a backyard full of dandelions, bright blue sky, and pillowy clouds. Birds chirp. Cars pass. And sometimes, a trio of bunnies chases each other along the tree line. [...]
The inspiration for this journal came suddenly in prayer, one day. I was journaling and reflecting on 2 Peter 1. Having just finished a one verse per day reflection on the book of 1 Peter. I opened 2 Peter and began a meditation on verse 4: “By these he has given us valuable and superlatively great promises, so that through them you might [...]
Shalom! Peace to you and your family! Thank you in advance for taking the time to hear my heart. I am taking a big step in my life and career and want everyone to know about it. Over the past 5 years, I have been dreaming, planning, preparing, and praying about a vocational calling that has finally met tangible action. The full-length version [...]
You say you love the Lord but are you patient with him, or do you want things in your time, trying to make things fit or trying to seek the end to what you want instead of waiting on Him? Are you kind to Him? Or do you obey begrudgingly, do you complain about your circumstances or the portion you’ve been given. Not realizing [...]
In November of 2023 I launched a new journal series to read and study the gospel books. This layout is based loosely around a Facebook Group that I had created almost two years ago to read one chapter a day and post in the group what we found to be of the most interest, or what God was speaking to us through His [...]
At that moment, his power of speech returned, and his first words were a b'rakhah to God. Luke 1:64 (CJB) What follows this text is a magnificent prophecy spoken by Zechariah after his mouth was opened and he received the Holy Spirit. “Praised be Adonai, the God of Isra’el, because he has visited and made a ransom to liberate his people by raising up [...]
"–that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine."Romans 1:12 God doesn’t mince words, does He? - right out the gate with a pretty bold “get your crap together” statement. Here is the "wake up!” = God’s wrath against mankind. "For what can be known about God is plain to them because God has shown it to [...]
“Also, if you are addressing as Father the one who judges impartially according to each person’s actions, you should live out your temporary stay on earth in fear” 1 Peter 1:17 My scripture reflection yesterday was on this verse. My immediate response was sober reverence. The day before was “become holy in your entire way of life since the Tanakh says “You are [...]
I am a born-again, spirit-filled believer and lover of the Lord Jesus Christ. (You might have read this part on the home page ). I honor God in all He does AND he and I aren't doing anything weird. I love the Word - and God has found a way to marry that with my passion for writing things down. I also love serving [...]
There's something I’ve realized lately, in how I treat my younger self with disdain. Today I text my mom and asked her if she could send me some pictures of myself as a kid at different ages. I almost cannot remember what I looked like then. When I think about it, I know I’ve actively tried to forget because that me felt so unloved, [...]
