A Fresh Wind Blows through Friendship

All Things New,  Relationships
If a friend supports us through tough times, it’s a gift. I’ve had my share of both — good friends and tough times. And yet, ironically, the storms of life allow a fresh wind to blow through a friendship. It reminds us we’re not alone. It rushes in on the...

A Season of Waiting,  In Difficult Times
On my childhood trips to the carnival, I hesitated to ride the Round Up. You may know it by other names, such as Meteor or Gravitron. As I entered the ride’s circular chamber and stood against the wall, I knew what was in store. Minutes after I slipped into a...

I just want to control one thing…

The most important button on any electrical device is the “on” switch. Just try operating anything without it. But the control panel is where the action is. Everything from volume to special features is just a tap, click or turn of a knob away. It’s one thing if we’re talking...

When I shop, boho jewelry and anything denim have When I shop, boho jewelry and anything denim have a magnetic pull on my purse strings. But about a year ago, something different drew me in. A mug with its soft edges and soft ecru color featured 3 words. Pray. Wait. Trust.

As it pulled on my heart strings, the magnet worked. I quickly placed the mug in my cart and made my way to the cashier. I looked forward to drinking from the cup and considering each word — one sip at a time. But a closer look took me beyond my cup. These 3 words made me reflect on the life of Christ.

Reflections of His life and how it impacts ours is often the focus during this Lenten season. But we can reap the benefits of reflecting on Jesus any day of the year. 

Join me on the blog this week and discover what can happen: "Growing Our Faith One Sip at a Time" (an invitation from me and my mug). 💕

When we lean into God's calling, we still have to When we lean into God's calling, we still have to learn His way to live in the privilege of what He calls us to do. 

It's great when we connect with people who seek to do the same. It happened at the "God's Call, God's Way Prayer Breakfast" yesterday!

I'm grateful for an awesome time of prayer, fellowship, and reflection. We were tremendously blessed by  praise and worship led by @deborahmooremusic.

Thanks so much to those who attended and for those who prayed for our gathering!🙏🏽💕 #joytothesoul #liveyourjoystory
