Last night, after the service, a brother was praying over me. I had never met Ray before, though I’ve seen him and heard from others that he is a prayer warrior and intercessor. So I was excited to finally meet him. As he was praying over me, the Lord gave him this vision. He saw me as a […]

…our Provider.
I had to take off work two days last week to be with Michelle. It was one of those “no-brainer” decisions, even though I did not have any paid time off available from work. This week, we found an envelope of cash between our screen door and front door when we came home from […]
Last night, we sold a guitar that I’ve had posted on Craigslist for awhile now. The guy called me a few weeks ago and offered me a good deal less than what I was asking. I asked him to come up in price just a bit. He wanted to meet. So last night, we met. He brought […]
On my lunch break, I read some more of N.T. Wright’s Suprised by Hope, which I am thoroughly enjoying.
And he quoted two stanzas from this amazing poem by John Updike.
Make no mistake: if He rose at all
it was as His body;
if the cells’ dissolution did not reverse, the molecules
reknit, the amino acids rekindle,
the Church […]

Happy Birthday, lil’ sis.
…this little blog of mine had its humble beginnings. Here is the first post from June 22nd of last year:

gladden the soul of your servant
Posted in Scripture on Jun 20th, 2008
The other day, my brother sent us this portion of scripture.
It’s a good one.
Incline your ear, O LORD, and answer me,
for I am poor and needy.
Preserve my life, for I am godly;
save your servant, who trusts in you—you are my God.
Be gracious to me, O Lord,
for to you do I cry all the day.
Gladden the soul […]
Sometimes it takes heartache for us to realize how much we are loved. Brothers and sisters come out of the woodwork to express how much you mean to them and that you are in their thoughts and prayers.
I’m going to be preaching this Sunday at Providence. And the title of the sermon is “We’re In This […]
life goes on…

…even though I feel it should stop for me in my pain.
When we go through something that temporarily cripples us, our world stops. Our present reality is all we know. And we feel locked in that moment.
Yet all around us, those not affected by our loss go about their everyday lives just as they did […]
Father God,
We come to you as your children.
We need you now. We need to know we are loved.
We need to feel your embrace.
We need a sense of your faithfulness and steadfast love, though our experiences defy such a request.
We need your presence here with us now.
We need you.
As we draw near to you today, O […]
