The Weight of a Life That’s Not Mine

Life gets heavy when it becomes about you. It was a Holy Spirit whisper that won't go away, so I know I need to talk about it, because I think there's a lot of heaviness going on. I remember how life felt so many years ago. Like I was perpetually bent over from the weight… Continue reading The Weight of a Life That’s Not Mine

Exodus 5: Their Story Is My Story

I can see it so much clearer from here than from where I was when I first started inching my way toward God. Life got harder. The rope I was holding onto started slipping through my hand a little faster. Hope got smaller and despair got bigger. And from here, 35 years down the road,… Continue reading Exodus 5: Their Story Is My Story

Exodus 4: He’s Got Your Back

I try to imagine the conversation between God and Moses. God: Ok, I want you to go to Pharoah and tell him that I said to let his entire workforce go, so that they can come out here to the desert and worship Me. Moses: *blink* God: Moses: I mean.

In the Hebrew language, the word "fine" (in the ESV, other versions may use a different word) is Tov, which means good. But it… Continue reading Exodus 2: Destiny

Exodus 1: Who Is Afraid of the Men?

It started in Genesis when Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers and taken to Egypt. Then God sent a famine, which brought the rest of Joseph's family to Egypt seeking food. Tears, forgiveness, and grace all flowed freely, as did favor. Because Pharoah favored Joseph, he also showed kindness and favor to his… Continue reading Exodus 1: Who Is Afraid of the Men?

But Some Doubted

Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had directed them. When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted. Jesus came near and said to them, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations... Matthew 28:16-19 Judas was gone, so they were… Continue reading But Some Doubted
