Only Love
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Let God Have You
Everything in this world is fighting for your attention and there’s not a shortage of people wanting your affections, but “let God have you, and let God love you.” (Max Lucado) “It’s the difference between a fulfilled life and an unsatisfying existence.” (John Bevere)

34 lessons I’ve learned over the years
In 34 years, here’s what I’ve learned… Love is the answer; being right rarely is. We spend way too much time in the work of crafting ourselves, and far too little time just being ourselves. The greatest adventures come from wrong turns, so don’t let fear stop you. Discipline is important to achieving dreams. Grace…

People Over Plans
It’s only a few days now, and no, I’m still not ready for the ever-important appointments that have been set with some of the largest publishers around the country. My perfectionist, people-pleasing personality is not happy about it one bit. It’s saying, ‘Try harder. You still have time. Don’t you dare go there unprepared. Don’t…

Live Like Love
I just finished viewing the new ‘Son of God’ movie. Based on a true story, movies are gripping because we connect on a real-life level with the people. This particular picture allowed me to step into the epic truth of who Jesus was and is, and partway through, everything in me just wanted to stand…

The Sun & The Moon
Last night I asked the Lord to shower me with His affections, to drown me in His undying love, to saturate my heart. Let this daughter not go unnoticed on this day. In my rest, I received a vision of the sun. Its radiance was in noble tints and tones, opulent oranges, glittering yellows, elegant…

Love Actually
Love is a verb, an action, not a word. Love motivates us to do the ‘impossible’. Love operates in supernova strength; love can move mountains. Love requires sacrifice. The value of something is determined by how much someone is willing to give up for it. The worth of a piece of wood is only as…
