Joy to The Soul Summer
As I prepare to post on social media, the image is set and the words are written. But I have another decision to make. Will I click the “add to my story” button or shrug my shoulders and pick the “my news feed” button instead? Lately, more than usual, “my...

BECOMING More Series
When this Becoming More series began, I planned post titles from January to December. This week’s post wasn’t one of them. Things change. In fact, a tug on my resistance to change was becoming more persistent in my heart. I sensed God pursuing my need to let some things go...

In my growing up years, three claps and a cheer signaled my firefighting dad was home. His applause was my cue to run and jump into his arms. It was our daddy-daughter celebration. As he completed another shift as a first responder, I welcomed his arrival and his affirmation. People...

Learning to Wait with A Good Heart

A Season of Waiting
The power of a story wasn’t lost on Jesus. When people had questions about God’s Kingdom or needed life lessons, the Prince of Peace was also a master at parables. One of my favorites is “The Seed and The Sower” in Luke 8. It shows how God’s Word (the seed)...

The Joy of Missing Out

BECOMING More Series,  In Difficult Times,  Live Your Joy Story
The word of the day on my dictionary app said JOMO. I wasn’t familiar with the term. But deeper reflection would reveal why I should become familiar with its benefits. It’s the acronym for “the joy of missing out.” I knew its more popular opposite, FOMO, “the fear of missing...

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
