Waiting

My word for 2025 is “Radical Obedience” and as I shared in my post Joy in the Pause, God gave me the opportunity to choose Radical Obedience, at the beginning of this year-and I’ve been choosing to walk it out, one step at a time. Radical obedience isn’t glamorous. It’s quiet, very often misunderstood, and…

Have you ever heard someone say, “Just surrender it to the Lord,” and felt confused or even frustrated? You’re not alone. I’ve had several conversations lately with a few different girlfriends specifically about them wanting practical, life-applicable, tangible, black & white ways to surrender to God. Each one of my friends stated feeling frustrated by…

Hi Friend! Our church Mercy Culture‘s Word for 2025 is: Radical Love. I love the explanation our pastoral staff gives of Radical Love: “God loves us for no reason!

As I walk this journey of rest (obedience), I find myself, for the first time, learning to ask for help.  I say learning, because I’ve always been one to set a goal, work at it and accomplish it, alone. My career is one where I am the sole admin in an office of engineers, machinists…

As I embrace this season of “wait” & “rest”, the Holy Spirit gave me this understanding and I could hardly wait to share with you! Wherever you might be on your journey, may you join me in reveling in the here & now. May you look up to Christ, and focus on Him, rather than…

As I’ve mentioned before, God has called me to a season of REST, yet I am continually bombarded with more things to keep me busy! So I simply ask God, “Why, if you are calling me to REST, is my life getting busier?” What I hear in response is simply, “REST, Child. REST” Then it…
