  • You Can Fear Not, For God is With You

    “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me”—Psalm 23:4 (NKJV). As my dog and I huddled underneath a makeshift tornado shelter in my bedroom, I was listening for weather updates on my cell […]

  • Don’t let fear lie to you any longer

    Meet Buck Rock (see below). We got acquainted last summer. We’ll never be good friends though. See the steep stairs? I climbed those to the house on top of that rock. (I know, I know, whhhyyyy would anyone do that?) I climbed them with tears in my eyes… and on my cheeks. I was clenching […]

  • Listening to the Spirit when we’re afraid of His voice…

    She looked me in the eyes, square in the eyes. Each shaking hand trying to stabilize the other, and tears filling each lower lid. “I’m afraid,” she said plainly. Not trying to hide her anxiety, but also unaware of the exhaustion expressed in her sign. “I’m afraid to listen to God because I’m afraid of […]

  • Fear & Trust- don’t belong together

    I saw bravery last week when a set of blue eyes looked deep into mine, gazed straight at me and without a word spoke a million. Life had caused a harsh blow and winded my friend Alice, bruised her soul and made the world she lived in a little dimmer. Her pain ran deep, so deep that the gush she nurtured bled liquid red -her heart was in […]
