What Ingredients Do I Need To Be Considered “Datable”?

I’m a firm believer that we can learn a lot of life lessons from being in the kitchen. And I’m not just talking about how to keep your eyes from burning when you’re chopping onions or making sure you let brownies cool before you try to cut into them (although I’ve learned both of those lessons the hard way). I think cooking can teach us a lot about how life works.

God Knows Best

Isn’t it good to know that the God we serve is able to give us whatever we ask for? He’s able to open any door, answer any prayer, lift any burden, heal any hurt, and make any way. But how many times have you asked God to give you something, only to realize it wasn’t what you really needed all along?

When You're Stuck In The In-Between

I’ve realized that feeling stuck between where you are and where you really want to be is an experience that is quite common in life. Maybe you’ve found yourself in a similar situation. A storm hit your life out of nowhere, causing a delay in your plans and your intentions, and now you feel stuck waiting for the storm to pass.

Are You Submitting To God's Will?

If there was ever an example of complete submission to God’s will, it’s the story of Mary that we read about in the gospel of Luke. Here was Mary, a teenager, engaged to be married, ready to start a new and exciting chapter in her life when an angel shows up and tells her she is going to be the mother of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. Talk about an interruption.

The Refining Process

If I’ve learned anything in my years of following Jesus, it’s that experiencing God’s blessings is a process. Being a Christian doesn’t include very many quick fixes. There are no microwaved blessings and instant successes. Living life according to God’s will and God’s timing involves a process. And the psalmist who wrote today’s key passage wants us to not only acknowledge where we’ve been and where we are, but also the process it took for God to get us here.

10 Verses For When It Feels Like You’re Getting Left Behind

One thing you should know about me is that I am a planner. I like to know what’s going on. I love details. And I thrive when I have my calendar in order. There’s just something peaceful and comforting about knowing what’s going on and when things are supposed to happen.

Setting The Stage

Do you really believe that God is able to do way more than you even know to ask or could ever imagine? When we truly believe that there is no limit to what God can accomplish, it changes the way we approach Him. Instead of tentatively asking Him, we will boldly petition Him…not with arrogance or entitlement, but with humility and thanksgiving.

Waiting, Waiting, And More Waiting

What are you waiting for right now? What is that one thing that you’ve been praying for over and over, but the answer just hasn’t come? What’s that one thing you want so badly that you heart physically aches for it? I know the answer to those questions for myself, and I’m sure it wasn’t hard for you to come up with the answers either. We’re all waiting for something.

For The One Who Is Waiting

If you’ve been reading my writing for any amount of time, you know that a pretty common topic I write about is waiting. And that’s not because I like to wait. I write about waiting because waiting is just about as universal as breathing for us as humans. We’re always waiting on something, no matter what season we’re in.
