Your Heart & Character Matter
We all have dreams growing up. I wanted to have 5 kids and name them all after my family members, there was a lassie dog involved, a horse and a farm. I wanted to be an orthodontist… or a model. I’m not sure what show I would have been watching when those two careers made…
Read MoreLosing Your Child
In this life, I don’t know that there is much worse than losing your child. Whatever the circumstances may be, nothing can really prepare you and every parent would rather take their child’s place. And yet, our good God, allows for these heart-wrenching, gutting moments to touch our lives and the deepest parts of soul.…
Read MoreStop Criticizing Millennials
Millennials are a motivated, passionate, and networked generation. Too often they are criticized by a reductionist version of who they really are as a demographic.

Read MoreNo Mother is Perfect
Every Mother’s Day that goes by, I come to realize more and more just how blessed I am. No mother is perfect but, in all our sinfulness, I know that mine is perfect for me. In my older years, I have come to know this even more deeply. When I turned 25, I realized that…

I’ve been trying to put a finger on what it is exactly that first drew me to Meisha Watson. Was it her smile or her bubbly personality? Was it her over the top energy or her residual british accent? I had known of her for some time and even had the opportunity to connect with…
Read MoreWho Told You That?
I slunk down deep into my armchair and let the defeat wash over me. The tears streamed down my face like a waterfall; Shame had encapsulated my heart- it was all I knew.

Read MoreI Am Free
It was dark outside, it was just me and my piano. My bible lay to the right of me and pad of paper and pen to my left. I asked God what He wanted me to write about that night and all I felt was shame. My heart had shifted in a way that I…
Read MoreRebuilding Broken-down Walls
Proverbs 25;28 says “A person without self-control is like a city with broken down walls.” There’s something about the simplicity and power of this verse that deeply resonates with me. I’ve always loved the idea that we as believers are referred to, several times, as a city in the Bible. That symbol of fortified…
