Good morning, beautiful soul! There is a funny expression, “Life be liffing.” How is your life “lifing” right now? Romans 8:35, 37-39 lists all the things that can’t separate us from His love, including the dimensions of time, the spiritual hierarchy, the dimensions of our reality, and spatial extremes. One particular boundary expressed is simply…

Embracing Human Connection: Lessons from Nature
I recently visited a Japanese tea house and garden. As I rounded the corner of a beautiful water garden, I saw two trees supporting each other—gripping, leaning, and embracing. This sight brought tears to my eyes because it beautifully symbolized human connection. How often do we lean on and support each other to ensure that…
Finding Peace in God’s Consolation: Embrace Sha’ashua
“When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul.” Psalm 94:19 Have you ever sat in a moment and wanted to be held, softly, without words, and loved beyond your imagination?

Order For Tom
Women played a vital role in Jesus’ ministry by providing financial support, offering practical assistance, and actively participating. Notable figures include Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Lydia, who are mentioned in the scriptures as key supporters of Jesus and the early church (Luke 8:1-3; Acts 16:14-15). Why is this so important?

New Wine, New Mindset: Transforming Your Life
Change. Renewal. Making space for what God is doing right now. Mark 2 18-22 has always been interesting to me. A passage of Jesus explaining life and responding to a question about fasting to his people, using what they know in their day-to-day life. Hemming garments, making wine, and storing the wine. Jesus Questioned About…
Celebrating Life’s Small Joys with Sticky Rolls
How do we celebrate even when we feel like snuggling back in bed and forgetting the day? Seeing the beauty of the day ahead in the small things can bring a celebration or perhaps gratitude. Slow down enough to see the beauty. Currently, due to limited mobility in my left arm and hand, I can…
Embracing Divine Belonging in Our Lives
I’m so intrigued by our human desire to connect and belong. Regardless of your perspective as an introvert or an extrovert, we all have, in some way, a desire or need to belong. In this desire, we can stray from the beaten path of what constitutes a healthy connection, often marked by competition, comparison, jealousy,…
