…but don’t be surprised if where you are planted is in a nursery. I used to lead a landscaping company when I lived in Albuquerque.  It was a great experience and it was an awesome opportunity to work for my friend there.  I learned a lot during that time of my life.  While working there I would [...]

It’s somewhere north of here! There are a few songs I really like to listen to when I drive… especially when I am going through a contemplative season.  It’s that season again.  “Somewhere North” by Derek Webb is one of those songs.  It’s a muggy night in Houston And all the intersections are like full service stations [...]

I recall sitting in my bedroom on Walnut Dr.  It was summer.  I think I was 19 years old. I knew what God was wanting to do with me at the time.  I knew what He was calling me to do.  I knew what He was preparing.  But I had this fear of stepping out [...]

I can’t state it any better than Oswald Chambers.  My words I have tried to put together are worthless to go with this quote.  So, I’ll just let Chambers do the talking.  There are times when you can’t understand why you cannot do what you want to do. When God brings a time of waiting, [...]

I want to understand more about how God has spoken to others through dreams.  As I read the Bible I am coming up with more questions.  I am reading in Genesis 37 and the chapters to follow about Joseph and the dreams he had been given as a teenager.  He was also given the opportunity to [...]

This morning I was awake at 5:02.  I sat up and thought to myself, “It sure feels warm in this house this morning.” (It’s always freezing in our bedroom… just ask the penguins that moved in last week.)  Back to the early morning wake up call…  I put my head back down and thought, “What [...]

Prayer, intercession, calling out to God from within the depths our own hearts and souls with groaning that cannot be understood…  At various times in our lives, our cirumstances often dictate how we pray.  I’m sure when Jonah was first thrown overboard and swallowed up by a giant fish he was relieved and scared all at [...]

Psalm 50 is on my mind as I lay in the bed.  So I just got up to read it.  I am troubled.  I have prayed and prayed and prayed tonight.  Throughout the day.  For weeks I’ve desired to not worry my prayers to God.  Tonight I am asking God to allow me to breakthrough [...]

Alright, so why does someone have the blues after attending such an incredible conference?  I don’t know… I guess I’m messed up. There was so much covered during those two days.  I have been able to apply some of what I have gained to my life at work.  The 2 books I picked up are [...]
