Finding Security in an Uncertain World
Look, most of us have large expectations for our life and what it’s going to looks like. What it looks like for each of us varies as much as the differences in each of us. That’s ok.

Finding Purpose in Life's Waiting Places
So, yesterday I mentioned I was reminded that God’ s timing is perfect. And while I have to agree, it’s the time before that “perfect timing” that is the most difficult. I know it is for me. Think about when you aren’t where you used to be but not yet where you want to be. And you find yourself i...

When God Says No
I was thinking yesterday about what I’ve written in the past about God’s “no” and how we respond. The thing is the more I thought about it the more I realized not only is God saying no to us and our plan, he is in fact saving us from ourselves! Think about it, what would your life be like if ever...

I don’t know about you, but when I think back on the road God has sent me down in my life, it’s a miracle I ended up here. I mean, I’m probably not alone in that the path we’ve all taken has been full of detours and side roads along the way. But as I reflected over the long weekend while I flew a...

Who Is Really Doing the Waiting?
You ever feel like your waiting for God’s plan for you? I sure do, but what if all this waiting isn’t really us waiting for God but rather Him waiting for us? What I am getting at is who is actually doing the waiting? We may think it’s us, but we could be wrong. Think about when Abraham asked God...

When Disappointment Becomes Direction
If you’ve ever competed in anything or spent much time trying to accomplish anything, then I’m sure you’re familiar with disappointment.

Forgive Those Who Hurt You - Let Go of Resentment
You know, we spend a lot of time as Christians going down different paths of Christianity.

When We Get Frustrated with God
Why do we sometimes get frustrated or angry with God? Let’s face it, we all do it. We lose a job promotion, a competition didn’t go our way, we experience a death in the family, personal injury or financial hardships. This list is long...we all have them. Life’s hard. "God, why did you let that h...

Prayer: Your First Line of Defense
How many times a day do we see and hear people ask for prayer, say they prayed or given the response after something bad happens, “my thoughts and prayers are with you”? I’d say it happens daily and I say it too. While clearly nothing is wrong with it and prayer is an amazing thing, using it as a...

Surrendering Our Need to Do It All
I’m pretty independent when it comes to feeling like “I can do it”. In fact, I kind of grew up with the attitude of, “if you want it some right, do it yourself!” Maybe you share some of these traits? Come to think of it, I’d say our whole society has become a DIY (do it yourself) society. Think a...

Embracing Change as God's Creative Power
Man, times sure have changed. I think about it almost daily. Maybe it’s a sign over my getting older reflecting back on how things “use to be”, or maybe it’s just a natural response to the changing seasons of a life. You see, I think that like the changing seasons of our planet, life is like that...

When the Storm Hits: Trusting God's Plan
I talked to a friend yesterday who was diagnosed with Cancer mid-year last year and his did who was diagnosed five years ago.

Making Big Decisions with God's Guidance
It’s hard making big decisions in life. Often times we put it off or because we are so afraid we don’t make them at all. But in those circumstances that demand a grown up response, those who trust in God can look to him for guidance. That’s the only way I know how to make them. In the Bible David...
