God won’t send someone in your life who will pull you further away from Him. Here are 5 Telltale signs that God wants you to be with someone.

Where do I go from here? I’d grown accustomed to my afternoons at the shelter. This particular night, we had volunteers come host improv for our residents.  The game was called Dolphin Training. One person steps out of the room while everyone else collectively picks a specific space for them to stand or sit on. When the ‘dolphin’ comes back in for training they must find their spot. The farther they are from the right spot, the ‘dolphin trainers’ remain silent. The closer they get to the right spot, the ‘dolphin trainers’ give them a “ding”. I chose to sit this one…

Lets take a deep breath, and look at five ways that we can connect and grow with God during this time.

Connecting with God isn’t easy for most of us.  Whether we have young children, thriving careers, or days filled by the needs of those within our spheres of influence, it’s not easy to find time to slip away from everyday demands and encounter the heart of our heavenly Father. Whether you have five kids under age six or find yourself restless and struggling to get alone with the Lord, despite the fact that your nest is empty, a few routines might help you connect with God on a regular basis: Simplify Your Morning Routine as Much as Possible We’re often…

No one really knows what’s next. But as people of Faith we must be encouraged and hopeful.

If you’re trying to move beyond the hurt of infidelity, just remember there’s no pain God can’t heal. Pray about it and watch God work.

Psalm 37:4 tells us to “Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.” But what does this verse really mean?

There comes a time in every single woman’s life where she needs to evaluate her dating patterns and honestly ask herself what is keeping her from attracting and maintaining the godly relationship she desires. A lot of times you will identify behaviors in yourself that you should change to become your best self. And other times you will find that you need to start making better decisions to get a better outcome. One of these decisions is to analyze the types of men you allow into your life. Especially if you desire marriage. Does he bring you closer to God…

For most of us, we’ve read of wars in books or in the news and seen the havoc it wreaks, through documentaries and movies. People live in terror with no food and no water. Lives are on the line, and death is imminent. At the front, engaging in a fierce battle, soldiers strive to protect its nation’s citizens, at the same time, inflicting maximum casualties upon the other. The battle may be for wealth, power, manpower or terrain, but there’s always the prospect of seizing something from one nation, for the benefit of the other. A country that cannot defend…

“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love.” —Nelson Mandela Racism is a way to feel superior to others on the basis of immutable realities. If I’m white and you’re black, I will always be white and you will always be black. If I delude myself into believing that being white is superior to being black, I will therefore always feel superior to you. This temptation is alluring on levels…

“..Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me – practice these things, and the God of peace will…

When my young husband was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer, the oncologist told us that the tumor had grown to the size of a softball and only surgery could remove it, along with his entire hip and part of his femur. And from there we could only wait and watch for the cancer to metastasize to his lungs. That night, I dreamed that we were walking down a familiar backcountry road together and suddenly the season changed from Spring to Winter. In seconds, the sun was gone and a cold wind was whipping us. When I woke…

This pandemic has brought a great deal of chaos to all of our lives. So many of us are living in a perpetual state of bad news, one way or the other. We all must be responsible for how much news we intake, whether it be from our television screens, or social media feeds, or even from our loved ones. It is imperative that we are intentional about our care and spiritual hygiene through this unsettling and disastrous time. With families now hunkered down together, and parents now homeschooling their children, it is an understatement to say that we are…

Talent. We all have one, they say. Some are blessed with more than one, but we should all feel comfortable that we came to this Earth with at least one talent, given by God Himself. But what if you don’t know what your talent is? What if you never find it? Does it expire or go bad? Does it get tired of waiting around for you and just leave altogether? What if you do finally find it, but it’s not what you wanted? At 5 years old, I am standing in a circle with other preschoolers while a young, pretty…

The trail diverged in three different directions. And I am directionally challenged on a really good day, on a well-marked highway. I followed the arrow that pointed to the right, but it wasn’t the trail I that I had been on before. It was overgrown, and I had to pick my way through the prickly brush and mud and beat back the mosquitos that swarmed. It was slow going, more like army crawling than hiking. As I walked I prayed. This is a heavy season, one of sharing the painful burden of unanswered prayers with several friends. My mind has been consumed with the stories of…
