Hey friend. Have you ever noticed how God is always doing a new thing? I just got back from an annual camping trip to West Virginia. It was great as always. But there were places on the trails dry as bones and other places full of muck and mire. As we were traveling along, I noticed these beautiful yellow flowers blooming right out of the mud. It caught my eye and I had this overwhelming sense that is what God does in our lives. God is always doing a […]

Do you ever wake up in the morning with a song playing in your mind? I did this morning. The old hymn, “Trust and Obey”. Are you familiar with it? “Trust and obey for there’s no other way to be happy in Jesus than to trust and obey.” I believe the Lord is teaching me how to trust and obey.

I struggle with anxiety. A lot. More than I care to admit. Today, like most days, my mind begins to fill with a thousand thoughts. My to-do list seems to write itself and before I know it, the list has morphed into one for work, one for home and one for me.

Often I find myself overwhelmed with what could be done to help others in regards to community and service. Overwhelmed with what I could do or what I should do. When I look at the world around me, the hurt and the pain, at the homelessness, poverty and down right ugliness of this world, it seems to be too much. I don’t understand why it is this way. These are the muddy moments of life. Where nothing is quite as clear as it should […]
