I am so excited today to share this beautiful guest post by my sweet friend Mandy Johnson! With Thanksgiving right around the corner (can you even believe it??), I asked Mandy to share a post on gratitude. I love what she wrote! It’s a great reminder to all of us in this season! “What is God’s will for us?” Often …
Reminder for This Election Day
Social media right now is blowing up with posts about the election. The news is a constant stream of updates and new predictions about this state or that state. And I know it’s only going to get more intense as the polls close and votes are counted. I don’t want to add to the noise so today’s post is short. …
Trusting God When We Just Don’t Understand the Tragedy Around Us
This is not the post I had planned on writing today. But honestly, I just couldn’t write that other post today. My heart is too burdened right now as I’ve watched the flood waters rise in parts of my hometown of Houston. While it’s too early to tell what kind of damage will be done to Southeast Texas and Louisiana …
A Prayer for the New School Year
As thousands of students and educators head back to school today in our school district and all around our city (and many more thousands already started back to school a couple of weeks ago), I want to pray a special prayer of protection and provision over all of them. I want everyone, including my son (who is starting second grade …

First Sneak Peek of My New 40-Day Devotional!!!
Feeling stressed? Anxious? Fearful? (Both my hands and a foot are raised. Anybody else?) I think it’s safe to say that most of us these days are struggling in some way or another. We need hope. We need truth. We need joy. And we need peace. Like now, please. In this season of anxiety, fear, and stress the Lord put …
How to Survive When You are in a Spiritual Desert
In July, we had multiple weeks when we had no rain. It was in the upper 90’s and even 100 degrees a few days with 1000% humidity but not an inch of rain. None. It was so hot and so dry. Our grass started to die, but oddly enough, the weeds began to flourish. As I watched a handful of …
Our Wandering Hearts + God’s Incredible Grace
Lately my toddler has become quite opinionated and independent. She wants things her way, no matter how much I try to convince her otherwise. She is becoming a strong, independent little lady, and it’s fun to watch her grow up into her own little person! Lately we’ve had a lot of laughs as we’ve been having to resort to reverse …
