Every March 16th I read Psalm 139. This psalm laser beams God’s intimate love for me straight into my heart. It tells how fond He is of me. How endearing. That His eyes are always upon me. He knows everything about me. He fashioned me. I read it every March 16th because that is my ...…
Abraham and David faced the same crisis of unbelief. They didn’t believe they were who God said they were. God is amazing the way He brings things to mind and positions me to answer a question like: Do I believe I am who God says I am? Am I Moses standing before God saying, “I ...…
Valentine’s Week is upon us. Flowers. Cards. Candy with sappy sayings written across them. Do you love it as much as I do? Every February 14th you can expect these playful traditions. They are a small part of our culture today. I’ve been wondering though, how did these traditions start? Or rather, how did Valentine’s Day start? I knew it ...…
I’m not an expert in the area of healing. Have I experienced healing? Yes. Have I experienced someone who was not healed? Yes. And that is the topic de jour. In John 5, we are at the pool of Bethesda and there were many sick (blind, lame, paralyzed) waiting for the moving of the water. ...…
I do not want to write much today. I am more in a place of needing to hear than say. Needing to absorb truth, not because I am “dry” or despairing, but because my heart is thirsty for it. I often will write a Bible verse or other quote on my bathroom mirror with a dry erase ...…
It is only January, but my Grandfather and I have already planted 14 rows in his almost 1 acre garden. We have planted: potatoes, onions, spinach, English peas, garlic, carrots, and beets. Soon we will be planting tomatoes, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, and kale. That’s only the beginning too. There is the whole rest of the spring ...…
It has been a busy, hectic, eventful couple of weeks for me – super late nights, a good amount of driving around, starting and launching new business/programs, etc. In the midst of all the chaos, I have been learning daily to “Let go & let GOD” take full control of my life. I have always ...…
Last week I we each blogged about a word for this year. Mine was CREATE, which had surprised me, but ended up inspiring me quite bit. Recently, I spent a weekend with the Forge Chicago crew for a missional training intensive. Over the course of the weekend, I was really taken with the idea of ...…
Happy New Year! I can’t believe it has been a year already since I started my journey here on BeBeloved. Wow! Thinking back on the past year, my life has taken some amazing twists and turns. God never ceases to amaze me with His creativity and unforeseen, unpredictable nature. So when Kimberly told me about Michelle’s idea ...…
Prayer and Faith. These two words have been strongly embedded in my heart this week. In the midst of running around like a chicken with its head cut off, I continuously have been feeling God’s will for me to just stop, take a deep breath, and pray. I have been feeling the gentle tug at ...…
