  • A Flight in History

    If you could have dinner with anyone in history, who would you pick? That’s a tough question. For me, it changes constantly. It depends on my mood. Do I want to be empowered or encouraged? Or do I want to be challenged or thought-provoked?   Then the question is when would it be? At one point…

  • 5 Helpful Ways That Bring Me Closer to God

    Intimacy and closeness with God are really important as believers. Everyone has different ways of communicating with and relating to God, but being close with Him usually involves feeling His presence, talking to Him, and hearing from Him through His Word.

  • How I Feel Closer to God

    Sometimes we feel closer to God when we are doing certain things or in certain situations. This week, we are sharing what those are for each of us. On Monday, Elizabeth shared activities and places where she feels most connected to God that are outside the normally expected places and activities that you would expect. Today, I am going…

  • Being with God

    A popular icebreaker or first date question is, “What do you like to do?” In the past, I would only say solo activities like reading, writing, art, hiking etc. This year, I started to include activities with people.

    “Do you want to start a blog with me? I’ve had this idea for a long time, and it would be so cool to do it together.”  It was one of those late night talks that started as a book club with other people and ended up being three new besties planning our futures and…

  • Intentional Friendship

    So you made a friend, now what? How do you keep a friend? Navigate the ups and downs of each stage of friendship. One thing that helped prepare me to write this post is to think about other relationships. Other relationships reveal things about yourself. Some stuff you are grateful to learn about and others……

  • Boldness in Change

    As a girl, I had a pet chameleon. He would change his colorings to blend into his surroundings. My favorite pattern was when he was on top of the couch. His bright green would dull into sage greens, dark greens, and grays, and spread across his body would be a pattern of diamonds to mirror…

  • Persistence in 2025

    How was your 2024? If I were to sit across the table from you at a coffee shop, could you tell me all the hard things that happened this past year? Can you think of any good things that happened for you this year? Maybe this was a year of victory and triumph for you.…
