I have honestly not been looking forward to starting school next Monday. I’ve been clinging onto each moment of summer and the familiarity of the current season I’m in. Change is on the horizon and quickly approaching me. God has been opening and closing doors. The last part of Revelation 3:7 says, “What he opens [...]
Before starting a new chapter, I always like to reflect on the one that's coming to a close. This summer has really been good.

An arena in Georgia was overflowing with hearts hungry for God’s Presence. [...]
“Stay on the bag! Stay where you are at”, shouted the coach to his player. The player was on a mission to reach home plate but needed guidance in getting there. A game of baseball reflects the game of life we are all in. We have a Coach. Jesus knows the game of life we [...]

I can imagine she was cleaning, doing laundry, cooking, baking, and making sure her yard was pretty. She probably even had a to-do list to keep all of her tasks on [...]
“God knew the desire of your heart” is the phrase of words my mom said as we walked out of the Aldi store. I was filled with thankfulness as I looked at my tiny car. God began to stir something within me. He places nudges and thoughts within us that should not be ignored. I [...]
