Read moreWhat I Learned About Making a Fearless Impact
I can’t say that I’m fearless (yet) but I do, more than anything, want to make an impact for the gospel. So I was intrigued by the title, Fearless Impact, a new course taught by my friend Alison.

Read moreWaiting on the Lord: What Does it Mean?
What does it mean to wait on the Lord? I believe it’s another way of saying that we trust God. We trust him, as Lord in Heaven, who is in control of everything, to guard our life.
The promise that follows, in Isaiah 40:31, is beautiful. I love the imagery of my strength being renewed. Eagles wings, running without getting tired…I’ll take it all!

Read more5 Habits of Joyful People
Last year I set out to learn all I could about trusting Jesus. Trust was my word of the year. This year, the word joy, is what God seemed to place on my heart. Initially, my reaction to the word, joy, was…great; this year is going to be all about fun! And maybe it will be. But that’s not what joy is all about.
