Three significant things happened this week: 1. Bethel Music released the title track of their new album “You Make Me Brave” written and sung by one of my best friends in the world, Amanda Cook. I just can’t get enough of this song. 2. One of my favourite bloggers, Casey Wiegand‘s husband release the movie trailer… Read More

Jump Start Your Devotional Life

Doesn’t it just stink that it’s at least twice a hard to start a good habit as to break a bad one? Oh, how I wish it were the other way around. Then maybe I’d go to the gym more often than I eat a whole bag of Cadbury Mini Eggs… And taking time to… Read More

Is there Room for Me?

January 9, 2013April 10, 2014 community, devotional, inspiration, Love 6 Comments

Sometimes I find it hard to be genuinely happy for others when good things happen to them instead of me. There, I’ve said it. And it sounds horrible doesn’t it? Why is it so hard to rejoice with those who rejoice, as we’re called to in Romans 12:15? I’m pretty good at the mourning with… Read More

Such a Long Way to Go

I’m not making any new years resolutions. I’m not taking a day this week, or next to specifically set goals for 2013. Why? Because right now I’m working on one thing, and one thing only. Right now I’m still trying to accomplish a resolution I made a few years ago. Right now I’m coming back… Read More

The Reality of Destiny

God-given destiny doesn’t bring glory to me, it brings glory to God. It’s so easy to get caught up in pursuing our big dreams, our passions, our calling, imagining the success that awaits us when we finally arrive. But what about pursuing our heavenly Father? What about seeking His face above all else? What about… Read More

Rifle or Shotgun?

November 6, 2012April 10, 2014 devotional, Focus, purpose 4 Comments

The first time I shot a gun I was in the middle of nowhere-Ontario, at a friends trapping cabin. No running water, no electricity, and no door on the outhouse. Nice lake views while you were peeing though…I’ve digressed. We set up the target, a pop can on a rock a few meters away. I… Read More
