My bestie said it the other day. “Do you ever just wake up with anxiety? For no reason? I did this morning… just so anxious.” Oh yes, I do. And today I did. So it was interesting that her comment was so fresh in my memory. Maybe you don’t do this or haven’t in a … Continue reading
“May”be you need this too…
I’ve been reading through Proverbs recently. Just one chapter a day according to the date. This is a simple approach to daily Bible reading, but when school is wrapping up late May and your brain all but stops working, an easy approach to ANYTHING is, well, more approachable. When reading Scripture, I always take note … Continue reading
Devotional March 22: I will show you how to fish…
I am reading through the book of Matthew and just letting the Spirit drop a pin where He will. Today, it dropped in Matthew chapter 4 verse 19. Jesus called out to them (the first disciples), “Come follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!” A couple of things…. Anyway. Just … Continue reading
Devotional February 16: Look at Him
The morning of Valentine’s Day, I sat in a prayer and worship service. My Bible open and journal out, I began scrolling to passages about love – being the day of love, of course. xoxo But as the worship team began to sing, and the leader began to pray, I was taken off guard by … Continue reading
Devotional January 31st: Giving a soft(er) response
A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. Proverbs 15:1 This weekend I parented solo. Brent was on a camping trip and it was just the boys and me. We genuinely had the best time together. It was restful, playful, and honestly they were all pretty engaged. I say this … Continue reading
Devotional January 27th: Just incase you need some joy.
The precepts of the Lord are right; giving joy to the heart. Psalm 19:8 As I wrote out Psalm 19 this morning, a few things popped off the page to me. (I encourage you to take note when this happens to you. Slow down and ask the Lord, WHY THIS?) Look at verse 8. Joy … Continue reading
January 25th: Jesus Teach Us To Pray
As one could imagine, if our quiet times are suffering due to the distractions of the digital age, it isn’t a stretch to assume that our prayer lives fall in the same category. As I am pressing into these simple practices to settle my busy mind and encounter more peace and Presence during my daily … Continue reading
Devotional January 24: Write it down
Matthew: But where would be a good place to start? Phillip: For you, I think the psalms of David is a good place to start. Matthew: I am ready. Phillip: For example, for the choir master, A Psalm of David. (quoting Psalm 139:8) “If I go ascend to the heavens, you are there; if I make my … Continue reading
Devotional January 23rd – Distraction
This weekend I served at a conference with Revelation Wellness. It was a weekend jam packed with Jesus, fitness, energy, rest, dancing, crying, praying, worship, silence, singing and Scripture. I know, right? It was AMAZING. One thing I LOVE about the Lord is how, in the midst of so many things going on around us, … Continue reading
“Lay Hold and Walk In It…”
Not that I have now attained [this ideal], or have already been made perfect, but I press on to lay hold of (grasp) and make my own, that for which Christ Jesus (the Messiah) has laid hold of me and made me His own. Philippians 3:12 AMPC “Lay hold and walk in it…” These words were recently written … Continue reading
