Hebrews 6:12 Through faith and patience they inherited the promises. Which of those two virtues do you struggle with more, faith or patience? For me it's definitely patience. It's easier for me to trust God's promises than it is to trust God's process. I hate to wait. But I'm challenged by the words of Pastor John Piper, "patience is faith in God's timing." While God's clock and calendar does not parallel mine, I have to trust that fast is not always best. God has an appointe

Proverbs 3:6 He will make your path straight. The most crooked street in the world is arguably Lombard Street in California. Its eight hair pin turns over a one block stretch.

Joshua 6:3 “March around the city once with ALL the armed men. Do this for six days.” This past week, I was surprised to see a car flipped over in my neighborhood.

​ Joshua 1:7 “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go” On May 4th, 2017, I found out that Moody wants to publish my book. My knee jerk reaction was "May the Fourth be with you!" Star Wars quip which was quickly followed by disbelief and fear. It was a yay/yikes kind of feeling. I felt like a mom who just found out that after a year of tr

Joshua 14:12 “Now give me this mountain.” What is the tallest mountain in the world? It depends on how you are measuring but most experts say Mount Everest. The topographical giant is 29,000 feet above sea level. It’s considered the rooftop of the world, you can see three countries from the summit. While Mount Everest may be physically the tallest mountain in the world, all of us face mountains even taller. We come against challenges and obstacle that stand between us a
