What Brings You Joy?
What brings you joy? In this third week of Advent, we continue counting down to Christmas with a spirit of Joy. His joy in us has the power to make our joy complete. Biblical joy is more than a happy feeling. For the psalmist knowing […]
Tell What He’s Done
Tell what He’s done for you. We sang this song at the church I grew up in during our Sunday night Testimony Services. One of the older saints would start the chorus, and we’d all join in. Congregation members would get up and testify, and […]

Piece by Deliberate Piece
One piece by deliberate piece, it will all come together. One hundred twenty-six days ago, I started walking 10,000 steps a day. I’ve prayed, cried, and sweated mile after mile, listening and longing for deep divine connection and better understanding. This transilient experience from Belize […]
