In the desert the whole community grumbled against Moses and Aaron. The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the Lord’s hand in Egypt! There we sat around pots of meat and ate all the food we wanted, but you have brought us out into this desert to starve this entire assembly […]
As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, shouting, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!” When He entered the house, the blind men approached Him, and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I can do this?” “Yes, Lord,” they answered Him. Then He touched their eyes, saying, “Let it […]
“Trust me with your heart.” The words pierced my heart one recent morning as I was getting ready for work. I have become very familiar with the gentle voice of my Savior whispering directly to my soul, but I found myself baffled at His command. “What do you mean, God?” I immediately began to pray […]
It’s that time of year again. For fourteen years, Oklahoma City has come together to run and remember the lives lost in the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah building on April 19, 1995. Our city was forever changed, and we never want to forget those lost in the senseless act of terrorism. Last year, […]
“There’s an 85% chance that it’s malignant.” As the words rolled off my dad’s tongue, I felt as if I had been punched in the stomach. A small spot on his kidney is proving to be more than any of us ever imagined. The revelation came at the end of a particularly difficult week. I […]

Today is my 36th birthday!! If you are doing the math, you might find that a little difficult to believe. After all, I’ve been divorced for four years (anniversary this week) and I was married for nearly 17 years. That means I got married around the age of 15. Let’s add another interesting thought: I […]
Last week, I wrote about Supermom—the Proverbs 31 woman. While it is noble for us as women to aspire to the example in Proverbs, many of us find ourselves crippled because we don’t measure up (at least in our own eyes). It is a daunting description of the ultimate multi-tasker; she seems to bear all […]
As we enter the new year, God has planted a great sense of anticipation in my heart. I have an overwhelming sense that God has great plans for me in 2014. I feel as if my years of wandering in the wilderness are coming to a close, and I am on the verge of entering […]
