7 Ways to Deepen your Prayer Life

April 15, 2020April 15, 20201 Comment

Why do we pray? No, really? Here's what I've discovered. Many of us pray because we need something. Some of us pray because we're angry or desperate. Others pray it because we think it will make us feel better or because we feel "guilty" and know we need to. While these reasons aren't "wrong," I … Continue reading 7 Ways to Deepen your Prayer Life

When God Seems Silent: Part 2

February 2, 2020February 2, 2020Leave a comment

Have you ever people-watched? It can be very enlightening AND entertaining. If you stay silent long enough, you'll notice a lot about a person--how they interact, what they value, where they invest their time. In fact, nonverbal communication often tells us more about a person than verbal. In the same way, silence helps us get … Continue reading When God Seems Silent: Part 2

Lay It Down

September 6, 2018November 21, 2019Leave a comment

Guest Writer: Ruthie White Aside from writing the occasional blog post, Ruthie is a harpist and songwriter. What does it mean to “lay it down?” When we say we’re laying something down and giving it over to the Lord, what are we really saying? I’ve heard that phrase a million times, but lately it has … Continue reading Lay It Down

Wrecking My Definition of Protection

January 10, 2017July 11, 2018Leave a comment

The corner of my eye caught a pick-up truck being slung off the spaghetti loop exit to the road right in front of me. It started fishtailing. The slick roads provided no traction as it wavered uncontrollably between its lane and mine. I tapped on the breaks to avoid hitting the truck, only to find … Continue reading Wrecking My Definition of Protection

A Message in Clay

The sticky island breeze rolled through the window as I caught a glimpse of the young girl circling the room. She had paced it at least a dozen times by now, the worship music following her. I closed my eyes in reflection just to be startled by a tap—it was the girl. She cupped a … Continue reading A Message in Clay

On the Verge of Change

October 21, 2015July 11, 2018Leave a comment

The curvy back roads of Western Kentucky make for a great view of fall. Crisp leaves on tall trees begin to curl and color and fall, leaving leaf crumbs under tires and leather boots. On a particular Sunday afternoon drive, my eyes were drawn to a cluster of trees whose leaves bore only a smear … Continue reading On the Verge of Change

So Long, Impressions

The smooth breeze flew through my hair as I hiked to my afternoon class. The beauty of the day passed through my thoughts. So did thoughts along the lines of, “Why am I walking to class when I could be taking a cozy afternoon nap?” But I pushed these thoughts aside and trudged ahead. Something … Continue reading So Long, Impressions

The Art of Contentment

July 18, 2015July 11, 2018Leave a comment

"We're going to do what??" You can only imagine my reaction when I heard my family of 6 had decided to rent a house with only one bathroom. After all, as a 13 year old girl, I needed my privacy, right? But despite my complaints, we moved in. During the year we spent there, there … Continue reading The Art of Contentment

Listen to What God is Speaking to Your Heart

July 4, 2015July 11, 2018Leave a comment

“Daughter, you need to stay away.” “Be patient, wait on my timing.” “I want you to learn, serve, and grow, beloved.” The Lord kept whispering these truths to my heart over and over again as the months passed by. The sad part is, I didn’t listen. I said and thought I was seeking His guidance … Continue reading Listen to What God is Speaking to Your Heart
