Hearing God’s Voice
On Staying
It’s been nearly three months of STAY 2015. Three months of saying no to needless busy for the sake of busy. Three months of not needing to fill my calendar in order to feel valuable. Three months of not apologizing for being myself, for saying no, for watching TV or sitting by a window, instead… Read More
Your Eyes, they See Me
The other day my son Cohen was telling me how much he liked me and so for fun I asked him, “Cohen, what do you like most about me?” He responded, “I like your eyes, because they see me.” There is such power in being seen, isn’t there? We all want it – to have… Read More
Summer Classes
The summer is such a great opportunity to rest, refresh and refocus. I used to think that rest was all about vacation – escaping the every day to sit on a beach somewhere, with an umbrella drink and a light-hearted novel. And while that’s a good thing (a really good thing) that’s not really what… Read More
Hope Really Was Spoken
My flight left at 5:30am from Winnipeg to Toronto and then on to Dallas, Texas. From the moment I stepped out of my airport shuttle and walked with my sister in law into the main conference room, it was nothing but hugs and hello’s and “I didn’t know you were gonna be here’s”. Nerves moved… Read More
Day 31: Keep on Knockin’
This is it, the last day of a month of blogging. I actually can’t believe I did it. I didn’t shower every day this month, but I did blog. I don’t know if that’s something I should be proud of or not… Here’s what I’ve learned: 1. Sometimes God is silent, even when I ask… Read More
Day 30: How to Find God
Sometimes it feels like God is hiding, and only the most spiritual people can find Him. Like maybe He is speaking, but only to pastors and missionaries and those in full time ministry. But where does that leave the rest of us? When I look at Jesus and who He spent time with, it wasn’t… Read More
Day 29: When God Speaks Through Nature
Yesterday I shared about how God used an owl to encourage Alex and I as we awaited the birth of our son Cohen. And today I want to tell you about the falcon. Weeks after we found out I was pregnant for the second time, I began to have fears and doubts about my pregnancy…. Read More
Day 28: Coincidence? I Think Not.
I don’t believe in coincidences, but I do believe that God speaks to us through the events in our lives, both big and small. He speaks to us through the little things, the things that make a stop and say, “hey, I was just thinking/talking/reading about that!” Those times when we read a verse in… Read More
Day 27: Weekend Stories
Today I want to share a part of my love story that some of you may have already heard. It’s a little example of how sometimes God’s speaks to us through the dreams we have at night. Alex and I almost missed each other that spring. In fact, if I wouldn’t have paid attention to… Read More
Day 26: Weekend Links
This class taught by Susie Davis through The Influence Network called “Hearing God in your every day life”. I found this article helpful as well. What are our beliefs about hearing from God? Something to think about. How to Hear from God by the lovely Ann Voskamp. I always love her perspective. And this is… Read More
