Driving home from church this afternoon I was struck by this haunting question from Switchfoot’s song, “This is your Life” … are you who you want to be? A stirring thought for June’s first Sunday. Am I who I want to be? Are you? Is anyone? Definitely fodder for a journal, bible and pen. Who, exactly, are you meant to be? Listen carefully dear one to the answer that may rise up inside of you. Here’s a virtual toast to all of the sensational women (and men) searching for {Read More}

“Values are like a compass that directs your life.” Tony Robbins Well said, Tony Robbins. Values do act like a guidance system, which is why we end up being “rerouted” sometimes. Values “outages” come in all shapes and sizes. Working late when you promised to have dinner with the kids, eating sugary yumminess when the “clean” alternative is so much healthier, resolving to be kind and generous, then ducking to avoid the woman down the street that drives you crazy. Yikes. Have you {Read More}

“Without a vision the people will perish.” Proverbs 29:18 Just finishing up a delicious day of hiking, lunching, and fellowship with a dear friend. Somewhere between catching our breath and taking in the unstoppable beauty of the Pacific Coast, we stumbled into a conversation about dreams, Callings, diets and dating. We both confessed while God often plants the desire for change in our hearts, the best laid plans can turn into vapor once Monday rolls around. Have you been there? {Read More}

Of all my single friends, I would definitely win the prize for “putting myself out there” in the dating game. I’ve looked for my husband high and low, online and offline. I’ve joined dating clubs, attended relationship seminars and dutifully attended church single events. I’ve put the desperate in dating … and it hasn’t been pretty. Surrendering Control Psalm 84:11 tells us that, “The LORD will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right.” If I lived {Read More}

If you’re like me, you long for a marriage where you can feel completely secure … Where your partner values who you are … what you believe … how you think … and what’s important to you. Where despite your own fear of inadequacy he loves your quirkiness and can’t wait to discover even more about you as the marriage matures and deepens. Consider being with a man that really wants to know what makes you tick … that listens {Read More}

Settling in after a particularly messy move from one residence to another this weekend, I stumbled across a great book and a simple idea that got me thinking about my prayer life. The author challenged what would it look like to turn up the volume on your prayer life – and pray passionately, boldly, fervently, and ceaselessly? Scripture says, “You have not because you ask not.” Could it be that small minded, “safe” prayers lull one into complacency and constrict {Read More}

One of my favorite movie scenes is from the movie, Chariots of Fire, when Olympic runner Eric Liddell explains that God made Him fast, and when he runs, he feels God’s pleasure. Eric warns that to give up would hold him in contempt of God’s purpose. To win is to honor God. God has chosen you for a purpose. You can’t be everything you want to be, but you can be everything that God wants you to be. You can {Read More}

They say I have her eyes but it was the scent of Vo5 in her hair that I remember most. A victim of rage and violence, my mother lost her life at the age of 26 years old in the hands of my stepfather, who never saw her beauty or significance. I was 5 years old when my young life became a “before” and “after” story. What a difference one day makes. It took years to piece together the torn {Read More}
