Battle Cry
Many of life’s challenges are designed to move us from a place of peace. It is easy to be distracted or troubled by the ‘inconveniences’ of life. Be reminded, you don’t need to do this alone. Like Gideon in Judges 7, follow the Lord’s lead for divine battle strategies. Dear Lord: I know you ‘edgeContinue reading “Battle Cry”
Funny How
My son literally did college with me. As a toddler, he hung out with just about any of my college friends who had some free time. On days when I had babysitting emergencies, they often rotated watching him, so I could get a class or two in. He roamed this campus – very energetic andContinue reading “Funny How”
You Still Shine
Things have a way of being here today and gone tomorrow. Sometimes, however, there’s that one thing that grabs a hold of your heart for whatever reason. My dad gave me this necklace in 1990 – that’s 34 years ago! It’s the only thing that I possess at this moment that has my dad’s markContinue reading “You Still Shine”
You Inspire
Is there a major in college that focuses on people’s life story? I would get a doctorate in that. I come alive in a different kind of way when someone shares their journey. It causes something to stir in my soul. I love stories of faith, fight and grit. When they say you can’t andContinue reading “You Inspire”
What You Don’t See
Many mothers woke up this morning to lots of noise and the sweet sounds of loved ones around. Laughter, hugs, surprise breakfast, phone calls, Amazon deliveries and presents. It’s mommy’s special day and it warms the heart. While we bask in the joys of the day, many sit in pain today. What you don’t seeContinue reading “What You Don’t See”
Triple Threat
Every now and then I’d hear someone say, ‘God has answered all my prayers.’ That has not been my story, but I think I understand what they’re saying.There are things we tend to prioritize in life as important. Having a good career, bills paid, a great family, kids who do ‘right’, someone to do lifeContinue reading “Triple Threat”
Without You
A man of God once echoed these words in Exodus33:15, “If You don’t personally go with us, don’t make us leave this place.” I think this is how I feel about my journey here on God’s green earth. I don’t claim to be that smart or even wise. Often I feel lost and need toContinue reading “Without You”

He Left
Yesterday one of my students came to class for the last time. He was with me for a few months but was now relocating. Truthfully, my heart hurts to see him go. He has been a light in my classroom- funny, insightful, helpful and passionate about learning. We had a ‘see-you’ later party and celebratedContinue reading “He Left”
