“Daddy, I’m afraid of all the things I can’t see in the dark,” My 3 year old said to my husband tonight.

And isn’t that what weighs on all of our hearts? Isn’t that the truest prayer we could pray to our Daddy God...our Abba Father?

I heard a message this morning at church that gave me an a-ha moment. It gave words to what I’ve been understanding in my soul for a few years now about processing and living in true transformation through Christ.

I love hearing people’s thoughts. God created us with remarkable minds and has given us the ability to process what we notice and experience in this world thought by thought. More than that, though, He has revealed to us what He thinks through His Holy W… https://t.co/gcci7rCnbW

This concept keeps showing up in my world: holiness. Often, the world “holy” is accompanied with other words to tease or chide, but it’s a serious, serious concept. Friends, we literally cannot ever stand before God in eternity or walk with Him here on e… https://t.co/PCPW54ST8X

Yesterday, a 97 year old veteran paratrooped onto the same beach he did 75 years ago today. The circumstances were quite different on his first jump & his last jump to this beach of Normandy. The first jump was brimming with fear & uncertainties of not o… https://t.co/ToUTaXrJeX

Memorial Day is so dear to our heart. My son was one day old on his first Memorial Day and turned one on his second Memorial Day. Always, I, his Mama, the daughter of a soldier, tuck a little American Flag in his hand on Memorial Day and look into his ey… https://t.co/oy7DUbDXHh

I listened to part of a podcast yesterday on interruptions & disruptions. I can’t wait to finish listening, but in the mean time, as I pause to spend a little bit of time with the Lord in between tending to my tummy aching toddler upstairs and my husband… https://t.co/MqOnmrdAfd

I’ve felt such friction this year. I’ve written a book but the editing and publishing process are moving at a snail’s pace. There are a myriad of reasons, but mostly because of the delicious and demanding season of life I’m in...toddler motherhood. .

I just finished reading @rhodes_ray ‘s “Susie: The Life and Legacy of Susannah Spurgeon, wife of Charles H. Spurgeon. I can’t recommend this book more highly. Maybe you’re familiar with “The Prince of Preachers,” Charles H. Spurgeon. Maybe you’re not. Bu… https://t.co/4oMHaTCWB8

Sometimes we move at the pace of a snail 🐌 to chase dreams God has placed in our hearts. And you know what? When you pause to consider why you’re moving at that pace in that area of life versus the break neck speeds of other callings in your life, it… https://t.co/FEpNGcSAoJ

My baby is just learning to pray. And tonight, he prayed, “Dear Lord, thank you for keeping me safe.” I held him tight as I rocked him to sleep tonight and tears spilled on his little head as I thought about the millions of babies who will never get the … https://t.co/zl4XfwD1FN

This past Fall, I got to go to a conference at the same hotel where Martin Luther King, Jr. polished up his I have a dream speech before walking out to the Lincoln Memorial to deliver it. And at this conference, @vernonbrewer shared his favorite MLK quot… https://t.co/NWU3bwpXeS

Amen. Such a good word on gaining godly perspective.

Another year, another chance to grow in our walk with the Lord. I was reading this morning in Genesis about people like Enoch & Noah who walked with God. I was so spurred on by their stories as I considered that the best life is one that truly walks with… https://t.co/DdADP8qrlw

Perspective. That’s what my “word” was for 2018. Time and time again, it proved helpful to meditate on how God wants me to shift my perspective for the present to His perspective for the eternal. This is a lesson I haven’t fully gotten an A+ on because i… https://t.co/ypGxspz3fN

We were rocking and out shadows fell on either side of the same picture of Jesus knocking on the door (symbolic of our hearts) that I grew up seeing every single day in my room. Patrick asked again if that was Jesus in the picture, like he has many times… https://t.co/Hx4PavGBvq

A few Christmases ago, I found myself offended. We had lost our first baby to miscarriage & literally all whose bellies could be swelling with the joy & life that mine *should* have been were. As embarrassing as it is to admit, I was even offended by Ma… https://t.co/vUjT1LxsBW

I’ve had a word on my heart & mind lately: Expectation.

Perhaps it’s because lately, I’ve had a lot of dashed or shifted expectations. Nothing earth shattering...just enough to make me notice that my plans are incapable of being set in concrete. This c… https://t.co/HsmKhtHwJs

St.Francis’ tradition of the Presepi manger scenes are such poignant hallmarks for the purpose of Christ’s birth. He came to dwell among us. He came to be where we are. He was sent to enter our world. He was sent to enter our worlds.Immanuel came in … https://t.co/KbufB4NW4M
