Show and Tell
There is a phrase that many of us are familiar with: “I can show you better than I can tell you.” Now this phrase may bring chills to some, as it may have been said by a parent, but in reality, many of us want the demonstration, and not just words. The phrase “I love…

Unexpected Delay
“Traffic reported ahead!” These are words we are all familiar with. Here we are, riding in the car, on our way to our destination. Suddenly, those dreaded words: “Traffic reported ahead.” We are now looking at a sea of red! Brake lights are in front of us. The map on Waze turns red. We are now stuck in traffic. Traffic is a nightmare. No one really likes it. Why? Because it generally causes us to sit and wait. The…

Waiting For The Dawn
It has been said the darkest hour is just before dawn, but if we hold on until dawn, a breakthrough will come. This is meant to encourage us to hold on, no matter the circumstance. But how does one do this when your world seems to be turned upside down, inside out, and the storms…

Skydiving
So skydiving is something I have always wanted to do. Now when I tell people this, the reaction is normally somewhere between: “Why would you want to jump out of a perfectly working plane?” to “ That sounds great! Let’s do it!” You may even be looking at me sideways now, wondering what is wrong with me. HAHA So, what is my fascination with…

Perfectly Imperfect
Pictures can be my best friend and worst enemy at the same time. How often do we take pictures and after looking go “Delete that!” and try the picture again. Why do we do this? Generally, it is because we do not like what we see. Our hair may be out of place. We blinked…

Pit Stop
At the beginning of the year, many of us set out with a drive and resolve to do things differently. We made a decision that we will be better this year than last year. It is not uncommon to see the gyms filled with people striving for that optimum weight goal. We start setting our…

Rest
Taking the time to rest is important. As children, most of us had a dedicated nap time. While we did not understand the purpose of the naps as children, we now see how important the naps were. In fact, as adults, we sometimes long for a time to just stop and take a nap. Why…

Recalculation
Yesterday, as I was on my way to work, I ran into traffic. The traffic was such that Waze recalculated and sent me on a new route. This was not a route I was familiar with. In fact, when I saw the exit it was telling me to take, I almost stopped it, and went…

Pressing Through to Get To
There are times in life that it appears no matter what you do, you are stopped at every turn. You know you are on the path to do what the Lord has told you to do, but still there is opposition at every turn. Everything around you appears to be falling apart. The family is…

Strong and Courageous
Standing strong and courageous is something I am learning how to walk in and do. As I stopped to read this morning, the Lord lead me to Joshua 1. As I was reading, I noticed that the Lord told Joshua three times to be strong and of good courage. Anytime something is mentioned repeatedly, it…
