Do you ever see someone else doing well at something and want to do the same? Maybe you notice everything they are doing and follow the exact same plan but it doesn’t work out for you like it did for them.  Sometimes it doesn’t matter if you have the same skills, talents, and resources as… Continue reading Uniquely You

I don’t think most people struggle on a daily basis with murder. Or stealing. Or even lying or adultery.  But we see these as “big” sins.  Lately the question God has asked me is, “Is pride in your heart?” And the more I read the Bible, the more I think about all the different ways pride… Continue reading How To Be Humble

As I went through the carwash today, it reminded me of the last year... As I sat alone in my car watching the spinning brushes and scrubbers come towards me, it felt familiar.  It reminded me of the feeling of knowing something was coming, yet not being able to do anything about it.  As the… Continue reading Carwash

I hear it going off like a warning in my head, “pride, Pride, PRIDE...” And it’s absolutely true. There is pride in my heart.  Pride isn’t just feeling good about our own achievements, or having confidence in ourselves.  No, it goes deeper. Right to the root of sin.  You see, pride makes things about us. … Continue reading Pride and Humility

The other day, I was driving home and I was thinking about Heaven. I was thinking about how glorious it will be there. How awesome not to have to be in pain or ever be sad. How great to have a new body. How wonderful to be reunited with our loved ones. And just as… Continue reading The Best Part Of Heaven

Dear Kids, I want more for you.  I know you want to fit in.  I know you want to be like your friends.  I know you think normal is fine.  But I want more for you.  Not more stuff.  Not more money.  Not more recognition.  More of what matters.  You were made for more than… Continue reading Dear Kids, Want More

My pappaw went with us to Chuck E. Cheese the other day.  This is a picture of us pressing on.  Pressing on after losing his wife of 62 years.  Pressing on in the midst of a pandemic.  Pressing on when it’s unfamiliar.  Pressing on when it’s uncomfortable.  I want to encourage you that no matter… Continue reading This Is What Pressing On Looks Like

Do you feel less than? Not smart enough? Not attractive enough? Unworthy? Unusable? Paul had every reason to feel qualified, yet he says, “For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.” 1 Corinthians‬ ‭1:17‬ It wasn’t… Continue reading Do You Feel Less Than?

Dear Kids, As parents, we want what’s best for you. We wish we could keep you from every single struggle and hurt. But we know, as you get older, we can’t protect you from every heartache. And even if we could, we won’t always be here. But we can make sure you know the One… Continue reading Dear Kids, Here’s What We Can Give You

Sometimes God takes people or things out of your life for a reason.  It hurts.  It’s not what you would’ve chosen. It wasn’t your plan.  But God wants what’s best for us. And He will intervene to remove distractions and point us in the right direction.  Our comfort is not His main concern.  Becoming more… Continue reading Trust He’s Working Even When You’re Hurting
