What stands out to me about umbrellas is that they are often closed up. They are not used all of the time, yet we keep them around for when storms and rain comes. Many of us feel like we are in a series of rainy days. Today is a literal one with the weather outside. [...]
I remember what it feels like to be on a run from God or His voice in my life. It was the summer before my eighth grade year. I was thirteen years old finally feeling the accomplishments of having sleepovers with friends, some preppy clothes, straightened hair, and a boyfriend to constantly talk to. I [...]
In looking up facts about bumble bees, I was reminded of their importance. Bees can seem annoying with the ways they are always hovering around us, but their jobs help produce our vegetation.

Driving home from my community college yesterday, intense pressure from the Lord laid upon my chest. It was a moment with the Lord in awe of seeing His hands at work in my life even more. I know my Father is faithful, and looking back over our journey together always confirms that. I have been [...]
