Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. – Matt. 5:48 So there is it. That verse. One that we brush past, disregard, promise to think about sometime in the future when we have made more spiritual progress in our lives. The Greek word for “perfect” in Matt. 5:48 is teleioi,…
“Delight yourself also in the LORD, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.” (Psalm 37:4, NKJV) I thought I knew what the word “delight” meant. And as I drove down the road hearing the verse on the radio as the “Verse of the Day,” I felt the tug of Jesus saying,…
Dear Lord, I come to you a good 48 hours after the world ended AGAIN. I know I should have come right there in the moment and asked for your help when my child was losing her precious little mind and I heard the Little Red Hen clucking, “The Sky is Falling, The Sky is…

As a result, I’ve benefited from…
I always love spending time with our church’s MOPS mom group. This particular week they had asked me to be the guest speaker. I had taken the week to pray about what God wanted me to say. God began leading me in the direction of talking about making sure we keep our relationship with Him…
There have been seasons in my life where I have had more time on my own then with friends or family. Friends move away or life gets busy. Disagreements happen and hearts are broken. High school friends graduated and went different directions. In my twenties my college and church friends got married and had babies. …
