Do You Have an Inkling of a Small Step or Move You’re Being Called to in the New Year?

We’re looking at small faith steps on the blog today because the New Year often signals a fork in the road – a pivot point where we reflect and evaluate and make small tweaks and directional changes to improve our lives.

This need for movement happens in my faith, as well. I picture my faith as a walk and walking requires I move. Step forward. It won’t work standing still.

My favorite story of a move of faith – literally, one step that changed history is Moses standing before the Red Sea. It is a sweet example of the call of faith. The call to ‘Move!’. [Read more…]

Act With Courage In The Struggle You’re Facing Today – Even If You Don’t Feel Courageous

Life is not for wimps.

Life is hard – there are no turn-offs to ‘The Easy Life’.

  • less luggage – more life

Hallelujah!

 “O come, let us worship and bow down..” Ps 95:6

Can you remember the last time you found yourself alone singing – maybe it was in the car along with the radio, maybe in the shower, but your heart was full and you had to sing?

I remember a recent event in my daughter’s life. She received good news about a position she got at college. She called us screaming and crying on the phone, most likely jumping up and down. Kids get it.

Good news demands a response. Joy can’t be held back, it has to come out. [Read more…]
