What do you Seek?
Friday night, I had the privilege of speaking with the women of my home church at our Night of Worship. The entire night was incredible: testimonies of the Lord’s provision, music, prayer, and time for fellowship over tea, sweets, and a bloom bar. Perfectly magical.

Sleep vs. Anxious Toil
Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep. Psalm 127:1-21…

Help in Prayer
Prayer is a unique spiritual discipline. It is an intimate practice of talking to God that requires something of my heart to even begin. If my heart is hard and my thoughts are dark, I struggle to talk to God. If my schedule is full and my mind is distracted, I struggle to talk to…
