Resources for Prayer

The topic of prayer is deep and wide. There are so many different ways you can pray and ways you can integrate prayer into your daily life. The thing I have found to be most important is that I am intentional about praying. It’s not about checking it off my list, it’s about making sure […]

What I’m Reading This Month: July

It might not be surprising that I love to read, I think most writers do. But… sometimes I forget just how much I enjoy reading. Like lots of people I can go from devouring books to letting them collect dust on my shelves, distracted by life (and of course binge watching TV series). One of […]

There is a Season for Everything

“There is a season… and a time for every purpose under heaven.” I remember listening to the song Turn! Turn! Turn! as a young child, riding in the back of the car, my parents driving and reminiscing as the radio station played “the oldies” that were the soundtrack of their youth. What I didn’t know […]

Three Christian Podcast Episodes to Listen To

I listen to quite a few podcasts every week. Some are great, some not so much. Just like with any media we consume, we have to be on guard to what we expose ourselves to. Remember, our hearts are easily swayed – even sometimes away from core beliefs. Finding content that pushes me closer to […]

Nothing Fit for a King, But Our Praise

I’ve been trying to take a walk every day both for exercise and to focus my heart on The Lord. I’m having to walk earlier and earlier in the day as the temperature is finally reaching the “warm” zone and I find myself going back again and again to listen to the song “Gratitude” by […]

Praying As God’s Beloved

Artboard 10

Recently, the Lord has been “echoing” the importance and power of prayer to my heart; about praying as God’s “beloved.” I wouldn’t consider myself a “good prayer.” My prayers aren’t particularly eloquent. They’re often short and poorly worded. For this reason I have often been hesitant to pray aloud in front of others. Spontaneous prayer […]

5 Ways to Make Daily Bible Study Easier

Artboard 10

Have you ever tried to make daily Bible study a habit? Habits can be both hard to form and hard to break. Going to the gym daily, that’s not an easy habit for everyone to get into. On the flip side, eating ice cream every night on the couch watching Netflix can be a hard […]

"For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father." The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children."

ROMANS 8: 14-16, ESV

“A quiet heart is content with what God gives.”
