I have talked to God a lot this year about pleasing Him. I have a people-pleasing bent and He has been revealing it to me in the gentle way that He does. I sense we will be unpacking how I can please Him with my faith and fill that desire so that I don't spend exhaustive amounts of energy trying to please people when that was never my job.

As I wrap up this year, I'm choosing to celebrate growth instead of focusing on what I didn't get done.

We spend so much time comparing with others that we don't take a hard look at our own lives. I know this is true for me. I can feel that emptiness when I start to compare seep in. It feels like what someone else has was stolen from me.

My seasons have been changing. I find that in this shift, I need reminders of who I am. I'm hoping this reminder from David's life speaks...

God I believe You and because of that I can trust You so I am going to place all my hope in You.

God wants to do a new thing, I have to let go of my expectations to receive His plans.

My word for the year is words. It's a blend of believe, trust, and hope. They all depend on each other.

I am so terrible at moving into a new season that even my flowers are having trouble. I’ve got hydrangeas blooming in fall.

Are you confident in God’s ability to work things out? It’s what we trust in but don’t yet see that keeps us going on the foggy days.

I hate school. I know I'm not supposed to say that, don't worry my children aren't listening. I dread this last week of summer every...

If you want to hear from God, maybe pick up your actual Bible this week. Start building a habit of actually knowing what God said.

The plan: Seek, Seek, Remember It's fairly simple, and I am sure to still mess is up. The beauty is that I can come back to it. God lets...

Are we too comfortable with our Bibles? Have you stopped being inspired and corrected by it? Has it ceased to penetrate your heart?
