“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.  Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come. It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch. “Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the ho...  Read More

I’ve been thinking about the cost of Christianity as of late, what does it cost to be a true disciple of Christ, what does it look like to live (not just profess but rather live) as a Christian.   “Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted” -2 Timothy 3:12 This is one of those verses that when I finish reading it, I sarcastically say to myself “wow, that is SO encoura...  Read More

Often times in my life, I’ve pondered and considered the promises of God over my life. The promises fulfilled and the ones yet to come. As of late, God is continuing to teach me to consider the promise of each opportunity that’s been freely given to us each day. This promise relies on us and our willingness to say “yes” to everything He places in front of us.On both ends of the spectrum, I’ve been...  Read More

HIs Love Makes All The Difference: A Testimony             How often do you think about the love of God? I mean really take a beat, and ponder how it can be true that a perfect God, who created the universe, would take delight in us? It’s quite unbelievable, really; and for me, that was the problem.       I grew up believing that I wasn’t beautiful, or worthy of love. There were terrible things I ...  Read More

I had a friend in college who would pull up to the menu to order and pray to The Lord, “Lord what should I order?” My response, just like so many people’s response, would be to scoff or mock this person for asking what they should order. But was it the correct response?    Let’s take a look at Jesus’ life in scripture and see if we can find the right answer to that. John 8:28 says, “So Jesus said,...  Read More

I’ve been inspired recently by two characters not often mentioned and yet so great in the Lord’s sight: Rahab and Ittai. Though their stories are brief, they offer life-altering lessons if we choose to embrace them. These two people decided to be part of what God was doing no matter what it looked like. Rahab was an outsider to the Lord’s people and knew that God was about to destroy her city and ...  Read More

Shaun and I went to a wedding a couple of weeks ago, it was by far the most depressing ceremony I have ever attended! I mean sad; I felt bad for the couple, and I love weddings! I love the joy, happiness and hope I feel and see….. and the cake! Yummm.  However, I did not experience any of these at this particular wedding.          The officiant began his speech with “what love isn’t” and basically...  Read More

A number of months back I was at a couple of days church event in Belfair, WA, and there came a time when the church began to pray and minister to each other. God began to move in an amazing way; people were healed, set free from demons, filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues, many lives were greatly impacted and changed that day.  For this I am grateful to God! During that ministry time...  Read More

Imagine this story with me for a moment…I have been thinking about and planning on going to this really nice restaurant, up in Seattle, for over a month. I want it to be an amazing trip; special, memorable, and perfect. When I get to Seattle, traffic is terrible, and I am late to the restaurant, so they give my awesome table away, and I end up with one close to the kitchen. It’s noisy, and there i...  Read More

If I’m honest, in these last few months I’ve found myself so busy it’s often left me distracted from the most important people and rhythms in my life. Sadly this includes my walk with the Lord. I’ve noticed at times my heart growing numb to the goodness of God and feeling distant from His presence. Of course I know He’s still good, I know He’s never left, yet when I find myself in this place, it s...  Read More

Proverbs 1:7“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and instruction.”To me this verse has been confusing for most of my life, with me asking different people that I have trusted to explain to me what it could mean. Yet, i never got a really clear answer, until i just put my eyes to the paper of the Bible and kept reading.A big part of my life has been a promise fr...  Read More
