When You are Angry with God
In the Mornings

I’m angry with God. I didn’t realize it until yesterday morning driving to work. Most mornings, I worship my way to work. My phone connected and my playlist on shuffle, my worship stylings extend from Sandra Crouch in the 80’s to 90’s Kirk Franklin to today’s Maverick City. But yesterday a song came on and I immediately skipped because it was too painful to sing. It was at that moment...

Faithing it Faking it? (II Kings 4:8-37)

But she did not just declare peace, she took steps to procure it. "Faithing it" is not toxic positivity or passively waiting. This woman took immediate action in her time of crisis. "Faithing it" involves relying on God while simultaneously obeying His voice. It entails stepping forward in faith, trusting that the path will be made clear.

A Day in the Life
In the Mornings

An unclean woman touched him. She not...

It’s been a looooong nine months. When we began this pandemic living on March 13, I, like so many, commanded this virus to end. But after awhile, I felt like the Lord said, “We are going to be in this a while and you need to prosper in the storm.” So I taught that. I tried to live that truth. I was optimistic (most of the time.) On November 3,...

Count it Joy!
In the Mornings

🎶 “Count it all joy when the world starts crashing. Hold your head up and keep on dancing.” 🎶 Alright -MercyMe This song has been my anthem this year. But yesterday the phrase, “Count it all joy,” just permeated my soul. Can I just be honest my Facebook friends? “I’m weary.” I’m weary of remote learning. I’m weary of not seeing my children. I’m weary of the political divide. I’m...
