Coronado, California is a small resort city tucked away off the coast of San Diego. In order to get there, you have to cross the storied Coronado Bridge. It’s a lofty structure offering scenic views between San Diego and a little slice of paradise. When we lived in the area,...

Hope: An Echo of Our Faith

Whenever a sound wave is reflected, we hear an echo. I dreaded this fact as my shoes clacked across the floor of my local library. At any moment, I expected someone to put their finger across their lips and shush me. To my surprise, there were no shushers. But I...

Our reliance and focus is on Jesus, the Lamb of God, who lived a sinless life and...

Joy to The Soul Summer,  Prayer Life
β€œFor the Lord has told me this: β€œI will watch quietly from my dwelling placeβ€” as quietly as the heat rises on a summer day, or as the morning dew forms during the harvest.” (Isaiah 18:4 NLT) If we sense God is telling us something, it’s wise to focus on...

As soon as we find out about a clothing drive, I see a glint in my husband’s eye. Brady is a sorter. But I’m sentimental. It’s not that I don’t want to give to someone in need. God’s love compels me to do that. But as I look through my...

Living in Undeniable Grace

Affirmation,  Uncategorized
The life of Peter intrigues me. The fisherman’s journey to becoming a faithful Christ follower took a series of unexpected turns. From his first encounter with Jesus, life took on new meaning. After Peter fished for years, Jesus told him He’d make him a fisher of people. (Matthew 4:18-20) Peter...

Finding Something New in Our Prayers

All Things New,  Prayer Life
I want praying to be like breathing. The exhale of my sins and worries and the inhale of God’s grace and wisdom should flow freely between my heart to His. After all, He invites us to come boldly before His throne. (Hebrews 4:16) Believing hearts come. They come assured of...

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 β€” 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). πŸ’•

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!πŸ™πŸ½πŸ’• #joytothesoul #liveyourjoystory
