I wrote a blog at the beginning of October about learning to be thankful for each day in its own unique way. Since then, I also wrote a blog about how something to do with isolation. Permit me to bring the two together into something pragmatic we can all do during this “Thankfulness month.” […]

Thankful for the Day
It sounds like a social media fad for the month of November, doesn’t it? It’s actually a phrase coined/made well known at Kendra’s and my alma mater. I wish I could tell you more of his legacy, but I did not personally know him. He was one of the Residence Directors on campus. I met […]
Entering into the Lord’s presence
Thanksgiving is the time of the year that we get together with people to be thankful for all that we have, but often I fail at becoming more thankful and just become busier. The holidays were supposed to be a reminder to celebrate, not a reason to stress. Since, the Bible is our guide, I thought I […]

God’s workmanship

Replacing anger with righteousness
In light of James 1:20 “for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God” (NASB), I have recently asked God for his righteousness rather than my anger. On Tuesday, I took my daughter to her 9 month well baby check-up. I was excited to learn that she is developing at either average […]
Our forgiving God
The other day I created a safe and fun place for my five month old daughter to play. I gave her some of her favorite toys. I put pillows between her and things that could hurt her. Apparently exploring seems more exciting, she rolled out of the safe place, across the floor, and into the […]
