Things Above

The story of the Israelites is recalled and referenced often. It’s a story of promise, sin, victory, rebellion and law.  I personally have read it several times, listened to several sermons about it and have many written notes from studying it, but I was today years old when I realized the larger point of view.…

Today in church Reverend Carr said something profound, “Let your audio match your video”.  Think about that for a moment.  Let’s say you are watching a movie and the lips of the speaker don’t match the words coming out of their mouth or the visuals buffer causing the screen to be stuck, but the audio…

You want to know what brings me joy nowadays? Coming across a verse of Scripture that I’ve never read before.  It’s like candy to a baby, coffee for a millennial and a breezy sunny day for an outdoor lover.  For me, that is a sign of spiritual maturity because I love the feeling it gives…

The bible is truly literary art. It has elements of poetry, memories, drama and biographies.  Several days ago, the verse of the day was Proverbs 3:7: “Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil.“ It’s easy to look at these two statements independently, but they are connected for sure!…

Skincare is all the rave right now! There are creams, serums and butters.  There are 3 step cleansing processes, overnight masks and so many appliances to buy.  What is the right combination of products? How should I layer them? What actually works? It’s all overwhelming.  What if I told you I had the secret to…

30 After Isaac finished blessing him, and Jacob had scarcely left his father’s presence, his brother Esau came in from hunting. 31 He too prepared some tasty food and brought it to his father. Then he said to him, “My father, please sit up and eat some of my game, so that you may give…

It’s a big day for many, it’s Super Bowl Sunday! A highly anticipated day for so many different reasons. The food, the parties, the big screens, the cheering, the full blown dedication to your team of choice. There will be comradery, yet division between the two sides. Every year, year after year, the second Sunday…

I want you to read Job 38 and 39. Aside from it being words from the Lord and beautifully written, it gives a whole new level of appreciation for God’s power, majesty and sovereignty.  The book of Job is such an interesting book because it highlights why suffering can happen, righteous versus the wicked, warns…

I’ve changed my prayer from “God send me a man” to “God position me and my heart for a husband”. Every male isn’t a man and every man doesn’t want to be a husband. Specificity is required. I’ve talked about it before, but I love the book 31 Prayers for my future Husband by Jennifer…

Fasting is hard. There I said it. Just because it’s something we are supposed to do, it doesn’t mean that it will be easy. Most of what God calls us to do is uncomfortable, stretches us to places and calls us to new ones.  Sometimes when fasting you can mindlessly mess up. You grab for…
