You’ve heard the songs, the sermons, the Bible verses, and the coffee mug quotes about praising God through the storm. It’s one thing to sing along and repeat the verses when life is good, but it can be quite another to turn your heart to praise when the storms surround. Are there benefits of praising […]
A prayer for reconciliation to God. Be made new in Christ with this daily prayer to reconcile yourself to him. Pray to follow where Jesus leads. Holy Lord, who sent your only Son to save us, I pray today to be reconciled to you. For if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. […]
Bedtime was fast approaching. “Time to take a shower and get ready for bed,” I called out to my son. “I’m not dirty! I took a shower yesterday!” he replied. “Well… but you’ve been playing soccer today and you’ve been outside on the playground. You need to wash off the sweat and dirt. You’re dirty […]
I almost burned the breakfast this morning. I had just turned on the stove to cook sausage patties when my son asked me to come outside and watch him practice soccer. Even though I’d already turned on the porch lights, he was uneasy about being outside alone in the dark. The crickets and cicadas were […]
Do you remember the first time you stepped out to the edge of a diving board? The pool where I swam as a child had two diving boards. One regular spring board and one high platform. The regular one made me nervous enough, but I remember climbing up to the high platform one day. I’d […]

I do ‘change’ for a living. I help companies install new computer systems, redesign business processes to be more efficient, train employees on how to do their job differently, find new ways to look at data for improved decision-making. My job is all about being an ambassador for change. Change is good, I always say. […]
And now for something a little different… Today, I get to share a little about me and also introduce you to some wonderful friends and writers. I hope you’ll take some time to visit these wonderful women and be as inspired by their writing as I am! I said ‘yes’ to this blog hop when Wanda (from […]
Almighty God, you alone can bring into order the unruly wills and affections of sinners: Grant your people grace to love what you command and desire what you promise; that, among the swift and varied changes of the world, our hearts may surely there be fixed where true joys are to be found; through Jesus […]
After years of living through a historic drought, the rains came and didn’t stop. More than 20 inches of rain in just a few months. The once-dry lakes suddenly overflowing. Weeks and weeks without sunshine. What started as a blessing, became a burden. Initially, the rain was an annoyance as weekend after weekend saw canceled […]
I was just back to work after having my second child when I was offered the opportunity to lead a really big, strategically-important project. This project would have high visibility, but also high risk. I wasn’t sure I was ready to take on something like this with an infant and a two year old at home. Could I […]
This past week as I reflected over 2014, I was amazed at where this year has taken me. When I took on the word “LAUNCH” as my one-word for 2014, I couldn’t have imagined just what I was launching into. Never dreamed I’d start a blog. Couldn’t imagine the ways I’d begin to rewrite my […]
