His Imprint Makes The Best Impression

It's Time to FLY
More than any other bird, the eagle symbolizes deliverance and redemption in scripture. Although they have a wing span averaging six to seven feet, these magnificent birds must learn how to fly.*  It does not come naturally. Isaiah 40:31 has special instructions for those who trust in the Lord.  We...

A Look That Lifts

Affirmation,  It's Time to FLY
Is there a conflict or desire you’re reluctant to release to the Lord? I want to trust Him with all my heart instead of leaning to my understanding, but Mt. Trust is not an easy climb. The ascent is hindered by strong winds of doubt. The temperature dips when faith...

It's Time to FLY
My husband ran his first marathon years ago. A week before the event, Brady had no plans of being in the race. He was on active duty in the U. S. Marine Corps away on a training exercise. However, he called me two days before the Marine Corps marathon and announced...

Is Your Flight Confirmed?

It's Time to FLY
Have you ever walked on water?  Me neither. It sure would come in handy when I’m at the beach or when I need to cross a huge puddle of rain. But water walking has a greater purpose in Matthew 14:22-32. Christ’s disciples were in a storm and Jesus came to...

It's Time to FLY
“For we live by faith, not by sight.” – 2 Corinthians 5:7 But if all we see is our situation, it’s hard to see our next step of faith. When I started this #write31days journey of “It’s Time to FLY,” I couldn’t see what the experience would bring. However, I...

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
