“Unto the Lord!”
Yesterday evening, we ordered pizza for dinner. The delivery lady arrived in a gentle mist and went out of her way to be thoughtful. She took paper towels from her car and carefully placed them on our sidewalk before setting the pizza on top. Watching her on our security cameras, I was reminded of the…

“Covenant!”
When some people hear the word “covenant,” they get a little antsy—because it implies a serious commitment. Some might even avoid marriage altogether because they fear the responsibility that comes with being fully committed to someone. In marriage, a covenant is an agreement—a faithful promise to your spouse. You place them above all else, protect…

“Obedience!”
Obedience is one of those words we tend to believe we’ve mastered. We learn it as children—obedient to our parents or other influential figures in our lives. But obedience doesn’t end in childhood—it follows us into adulthood. Yet the greatest form of obedience we practice is the one we offer to Christ: honoring Him by…

“You are enough!”
“For the most part, we live in a society where everyone is trying to be like someone else—or, should I say, trying to measure up to someone else. Amen. It seems the person we are isn’t enough, or never good enough, right? Many people walk around feeling inferior to who they truly are. They think…

“The Father’s Heart!”
I believe that, as children of God, one of the greatest pitfalls we face is the constant pursuit of happiness. Make no mistake—desiring joy isn’t wrong—but when the advice we hear is simply, “Do what makes you happy,” we tread on shaky ground. Why? Because such advice encourages us to chase after fleeting feelings, prioritizing…

“Your mind is a garden!”
Our minds truly are the battlefield. Amen! Often we harm our own lives simply through our mindsets. We fixate on thoughts we know aren’t true. We overthink situations instead of letting things go, and suddenly we’re in a mess—all because of how we think. We imprison ourselves, and even impact our families, by dwelling on…

“Restore unto me, Oh, Lord!”
“It’s during life’s rough and tough seasons that we truly feel—and even witness—how quickly our lives can change in an instant. At times, it seems like everything is swept away, one thing after another. In those moments, we pray. We cry. We suffer loss. We endure heartache. Amen. Yet even in the midst of it…

“My soul finds rest in God alone!”
I know that, for the most part, each of us live very busy lives. We do so many things daily—between home life, family life, and just life in general—it can sometimes get to be a little much. But you know, when life begins to feel overwhelming and heavy for me, I am always thankful and…

“Make every day count!”
“I know that Erik and I do our best every day to make it count—using what we have, choosing to be happy together, and enjoying life, even when we’re tired or have had a busy day with work and chores. We still find time to make our days meaningful for each other and to enjoy…

“Be gentle with yourself!”
Isn’t it wonderful that the Lord isn’t a respecter of persons (Acts 10:34)? He uses us all—the ones who mess up, the ones who fall, those who backslide, those with a history. You know what I mean—the ones unafraid to say what they’ve been through, the ones who don’t pretend they’ve “arrived.” Amen! The Lord…
