Things Above

Week 2 Reading Reflection I love this verse because I can feel godly conviction behind the “I will”. I could see David metaphorically lifting his head, squaring his shoulders, planting his feet and proclaiming his safety in the Lord. His peace doesn’t come because every problem has been solved, it comes because he knows who…

In honor of summer, I want to begin a short series titled Summer in the Psalms. The summer time ushers in different rhythms for everyone. During summer some rest or travel, for others it may be a time of uncertainty or a surge of activities. I don’t know what the summer brings for you, but…

As I get ready to turn 30 next week, this post is a gift to myself and my way of marking the milestone—30 things I know to be true, I’ve lived, learned, wrestled with and want to carry with me into this next decade. This is my golden year, turning 30 on the 30th, and…

Throughout the bible, God consistently tells us to protect the most vulnerable population. That population can be divided into four groups.  Let’s look at scripture where we see God as their protector, a command to defend and a warning against mistreatment to show how important this population is.  God is their protector Psalm 68:5 says…

Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you. – Psalm 9:10 If I could summarize this verse into a few short words it would be: If You Know You Know.  If you truly know the name of the Lord, you’ll know it’s more than a…

In networking, there are two ways to communicate with the Internet or as some say, send data packets across the Internet.  One protocol is TCP, Transmission Control Protocol, which prioritizes perfect delivery and order. TCP establishes a dedicated connection before sending data, called a 3 way handshake. This handshake consists of the client (sender) sending…

A week ago I went to a painting experience with several women. We all painted the same picture, using the same colors, following the same instructor, yet we all had different masterpieces.  At the end of class we all looked at each other’s paintings and complimented what we liked and marveled at the uniqueness of…

Happy Mother’s Day! I was reflecting on all my mom is and does for me and my family this week and I asked God this question, “Why are women so special to you?” Every question we have we can find in scripture so that’s what I turned to. When I asked the question I didn’t…
