I read the Christmas story a couple times over the past week (both from Matthew and Luke), and it’s so cool because every year something new pops out to me. This year, it occurred to me how cool it is that God wants us to find Him. Here’s what I mean. I saw a quote …
A lot of times, ideas come to me in full-color in my head. A couple months ago, I saw myself sitting at my local coffee shop, reading a newspaper…but the contents were actually a devotional breaking down a bigger concept (like the fruit of the Spirit, armor of God, or Beatitudes).

I’ve always been forgetful. My mom begs to differ, but really: I have a Dory complex. While I was at camp, I locked myself out of my room at least six times because I forgot to unlock it in the morning. Just today and yesterday, I forgot my student ID card for required college activities. …
We had Pray Day last week, beloved ones, and this week we’re doing Devo Day! (P.S. When I say devo, I’m referring to devotions, or intentionally planned time with God involving His Word; I didn’t used to know what this word was!) You can do Devotions Day any day, of course but this Wednesday (May …
Happy new week, beloved ones! Are you guys hanging in there? I’m super excited because I’m writing a new book. It was meant to be a devotional, but the format became more like a book. I can’t complain! Last night I was writing into the wee hours of the night. God had put a lot …
