“After everyone was full, Jesus told his disciples, “Now gather the leftovers, so that nothing is wasted.” John 6:12 NLT Nothing in your life is wasted. Nothing you do, nothing you go through. Some things make absolutely zero sense to us. I’m in that season in life right now. But in John 6 when Jesus [...]

Peace
Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7 NLTI'm writing this blogpost because I've been a little MIA. It'll be a short one, but there will be so much more to come. It’s been a [...]
Nothing is too difficult
Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you. Jeremiah 32:17 Remember the song “He’s got the whole world in His hands”? Sometimes it’s hard to fathom that the creator of the universe cares for the details of our life. [...]
A reason to be reasonable
Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians [...]
Choose to be changed
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV The old is gone, the new is here... but for how long? Too often we have an experience with God that leaves us changed, but after a few weeks in the real [...]

Have you prayed about it as much as you’ve talked about it?
If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer. Matthew 21:22 A friend sent me this picture, which inspired this blogpost. "Have you prayed about it as much as you've talked about it?" This is quite the thought provoking statement. How often share our concerns with everyone, except the Father? We [...]
Drink from the well that will satisfy
Humans will never satisfy. Only God can do that. Many of us have learned the hard way that people disappoint. It's easy to put our hopes and joy in humans, as they give us a tangible and immediate form of love. It seems too difficult or time consuming sometimes to cultivate a relationship with a [...]
We are all learning
Thank God for learning experiences. Some of our greatest faith comes from our greatest hurt. Some of our strengths come from our disappointments. There are some days, or weeks that we just blow it. Usually those are the moments we learn from the most. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, [...]
While I am waiting…
I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope. Psalm 130:5 I came across this verse last night, while reading a fantastic devotional. I love when my quiet time matches perfectly with what I am going through. I've been in a period of waiting for some time [...]
