Luke 1:7, 24-25 I’ve been listening to this song by Maverick City called “Isaiah Song.” My favorite part is this line that gets repeated over and over near the end: “It was a barren season, it’s giving birth right now.” It’s so encouraging, and I feel like it’s reflective of where I’ve been for the … Continue reading What will be born out of your barren season?

Marco Polo
When I was a kid, there was never any question of whether or not I would have someone to play with, or something to do on the weekends. The reason for this? I have an unusual number of cousins. Especially in the summer, every Saturday we knew we would either be at Carowinds or going … Continue reading Marco Polo

Weekly Devotion: Not Enough? Or Too Many?
Judges 7:1-7 I think right now I’m in a season of time where I’m learning that less is more. I need less money, less stuff, less people, less everything than what I have always believed I needed. But it’s a painful lesson. It’s not a lesson I wanted to learn. It’s one of those things … Continue reading Weekly Devotion: Not Enough? Or Too Many?
Weekly Devotion: Having Nothing, Having It All
Reading: 2 Corinthians 6:4-10, 4:8-10 I’m usually a peaceful person. Not because I’m some shining example of holiness and righteousness, but rather because I hate conflict.

I hate trying to calculate … Continue reading Weekly Devotion: Having Nothing, Having It All
What do you want to be when you grow up?
Here’s something I’ve never understood: Why are we so obsessed with asking kids, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Seriously. Have you ever thought about that? Favorite color— sure. Favorite cartoon— absolutely. Favorite parent— doesn’t instill great social sensitivity skills, but I’ll allow it. But why do we ask them what … Continue reading What do you want to be when you grow up?
Weekly Devotion: Consuming Fire
Reading: Exodus 24:17 When I was growing up, and even as an adult, my mom was my hero. She always seemed to know exactly what to do. In life I’m learning there are varying degrees of strong, and there are different types of strong, and each one is unique and significant. Some people’s strong comes … Continue reading Weekly Devotion: Consuming Fire
The Fierce Urgency of Now
I was listening to a podcast this morning by Dharius Daniels with Change Church, and he mentioned this quote I loved by Martin Luther King, Jr: “We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now.” It grabbed my attention because it captures everything I’m feeling yet powerless to achieve, and because I’m a sucker for … Continue reading The Fierce Urgency of Now
Big Picture, Small Picture
I’m struggling with perspective. You know those pictures people make, like of the United States, or the face of the nurse that has gone viral, but it’s made up of hundreds of individual photos of people? The big picture is part of a lot of small pictures. I’ve always thought I was a big picture … Continue reading Big Picture, Small Picture
