I’m curious.
Do you fully give Him your dreams and plans? Do you hand them over?
Or are you like me and want to keep a hand, a finger on it; have a small bit of control?
Interestingly, Read More

I was getting ready to make bread today and started to laugh.
I know, a strange thing to do when getting ready to bake.
I laughed because I realized making bread is a metaphor for my current season.
Have you heard this statement?
I am currently in a season when God is saying—Trust Me. Lots of “unknowns.” Lots of “uncertainty.” Lots of “waiting for answers.” Lots of “prayers followed by silence.”
You know what means. This is a season of refinement. Of growing. A season of removing impurities in my thinking, attitude, and/or life. Read More

This post was originally a Facebook Live video, but I had several people ask me to post it so they could share it with their readers or print it off.
I left it in outline format to make it easier to find subheadings.
The answers are not as intuitive as we would assume. Read More

I apologize this didn’t get out on Saturday as planned. I was blessed to be present with family and friends. To encourage others in need and to be blessed in return.

I don’t know about you, but the start of a new school year feels more like New Year’s than the January 1st’s New Year’s does. Everything feels fresh. New. Like someone hit update and restart.
I don’t get that feeling at New Year’s. I never have.
Maybe it’s because by the time NYE rolls around I feel like an old tired dog. Christmas and all its hype are over. It’s STILL cold and wintery. And in Minnesota, there’s A LOT of winter left with not much to look forward to unless you icefish, ski, snowmobile, or play hockey. I do none of those things. So I keep my cocoa close and try to push away the knowledge that the next few months are going to bring in a lot more cold, ice, and snow.
