Did you know that the Bible says, “fear not” 365 times? I’m not one to believe in coincidences when it comes to God. I think it was very purposeful that the same number of times we’re told not to be afraid is the same number of days there are in a year.
Read MoreWe’re all waiting for something, because waiting never seems to be absent from our lives in one way or another. Even if we finally get to the end of a season of waiting for one thing, another waiting season never seems to be too far behind.

Read MoreWhile I was reading my devotional this morning, there was a particular paragraph that stuck out to me. The writer said, “I believe that many times people give up praying because they want instantaneous success and immediate answers. They start the process but don’t see it all the way through.

They’re a chance to get organized and plan for all the tasks and events the next seven days hold. They’re a good excuse to have a second iced coffee without any self-judgment. Those kinds of Mondays are great. But sometimes, Mondays aren’t so great. Sometimes they’re overwhelming. Sometimes they come with mile long to-do lists, piled-up laundry, an empty fridge, and a jam-packed calendar staring you in the face, making you wonder how you’re going to have time to get everything taken care of.
Read MoreI recently had someone ask me how I got into my line of work and got to write for a living. I smile every time someone asks me this question because I love telling the story not just of how I got my job, but all that led up to me getting my job.
