I can feel Fall coming (figuratively and not literally…afterall, I live in Texas which currently feels like the inside of an oven). With the change of the physical season and so much recent change in our lives, I’ve been thinking back on previous life seasons. I love that scripture calls us to REMEMBER.

Dear Women of America
I couldn’t stand with you this weekend, and yet I am one of you. It isn’t because I don’t believe in women’s rights and equality. I do. I believe God created men and women with equal value and different roles. I do not think that inhibits you from doing things independently or charging your own trail. I’m 28 and single …
Is It Enough?
It’s been a busy season. Like crawl in bed at 8pm a couple of nights recently kind of crazy. Work, personal life, and writing all seemed to hit at one time. The night before I was to leave for a Labor Day retreat with 1000 young adults from Dallas/Fort Worth, I got bad news. I texted my community group upset …

Alicia visited …

#ShakeninHaiti by Heath
As promised, I am going to share stories of people who were shaken in Haiti. I think often it takes experiencing another culture to shake us from our apathetic American existence. The stories you will read did not happen during the earthquake, rather they happened while these people faithfully served the Lord in Haiti. As a result, the Lord radically …
