If I proclaim the greatness of God it is hard to elevate myself.  If I speak of the works and majesty of God it is hard to speak of myself.
I will give to the Lord the thanks due to his righteousness, and I will sing praise to the name of the Lord, the [...]

Getting Rid of The Desire of Me

I was relistening to a message yesterday on my way to work.  In short the message is about being uncomfortable and using the gifts God has given you.  It is an amazing message and like I said I was driven to listen to it a second time which will probably turn into a third and [...]

Washing Away Ungratefulness

For the last week, Shaun Groves has been in Kenya with other various bloggers documenting and sharing how Compassion International is serving and rescuing the people of Kenya.  When I say people I mean more than just the children that are sponsored through Compassion.  The sponsorship of these children changes their entire family’s lives.

Being Uncomfortable

What is it that causes a 19 year old girl to pack up everything and move to South Africa?  Or a young woman to move to Uganda to be a Kindergarten teacher, only to have God move her to start an orphan child sponsorship program?  Or a man who when visiting South Korea was heart [...]

A Beautiful Inheritance

I’ve been off Facebook and Twitter now for five days.  It has already been refreshing.  God is speaking and working in my life.  I’m hearing Him more clearly.

Psalm 16:5 & 6

I’ll post more on this a bit later but I wanted to share this gem with you.  It’s something I’ve been meditating on and relishing in…

My Heart Skipped a Beat at Starbucks

My Heart Skipped a Beat at Starbucks

This morning on my way to work I decided to kick it old school.  Soon Passion’s album Better is One Day was filling the four walls of my car at a loud volume.  I sang along to a few songs and skipped ahead to the title track – Better is One Day – my favorite [...]

Turning It Over

Turning It Over

I was at a doctor’s appointment today and was dealing with some internal discontentedness while I waited to be seen.  The good thing was I recognized I was being discontent and immediately started praying that God would give me peace and take away the discontentment.  As I sat there I realized that this is something [...]

Like An Armadillo Crossing the Road in Rush Hour

Like An Armadillo Crossing the Road in Rush Hour

I have felt so helpless lately.  It started a while ago seeing images of precious people living on nothing just trying to get by.
It came roaring at me two weeks ago with the earthquake in Haiti.  The images of poverty stricken, broken people floated before my eyes.  I didn’t close the websites or stop reading [...]
