Passage: Matthew 14:22-34 “Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,”he said, “why did you doubt?” v.31 It was the miracles of miracles at that point. The first mass miracle took place in Decapolis, where between ten to fifteen thousand people were fed with two fish and five loaves of bread. I can only imagine the excitement, as the multitudes watched the fish and bread multiply before their eyes. Yahweh Jireh, their Provider, fed the hungry in an Continue Reading
A Little Bit of Crazy {Recharge Wednesday LINKUP}
We all have a story—a story God has written on the pages of our lives so we can retell it to the benefit of others and to God’s glory. One of the first posts I wrote, way back in the day, was a tongue in cheek article about anxiety. I can tease about myself but for most people struggling with anxiety it’s no laughing matter. It’s debilitating. I gave a talk this summer in which I shared part of my story that had to do with panic and peace. Two words as far from each other as the east is Continue Reading
God Won’t Budge {Recharge Wednesday LINKUP}
“Come oooooonnnn,” is a phrase I mostly use in the kitchen. By the fridge. Holding something with a lid. Twist-off tops and I don’t get along because they will NOT budge. In most cases, being inflexible, stubborn, or unmoving isn’t favorable. So often it seems like if we just grip tighter or twist harder, we’ll have the opportunities we long for. We’ll find satisfaction. We’ll gain the missing ingredient and finally put together that idea we think is best for us. But, if God’s the Continue Reading

Where Did My Faith Go? {Recharge Wednesday LINKUP}
It’s doesn’t look good. Will you please pray? Those were the words I heard concerning a friend a while back. Although I said I’d pray and of course I did, I have to admit when I heard the diagnosis I automatically had a grim outlook on the outcome. Right off the bat I let my knowledge of human know-how override the know-how of God. Why would I do that? I absolutely believe that God can do the impossible. So why do I sometimes put so much weight on man’s perspective instead of God’s Continue Reading
A Prisoner’s Prayer {Recharge Wednesday LINKUP}
“And pray on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in proclaiming it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.” Ephesians 6: 19-20 (NASB) The underground prison was dug out of solid rock. The prisoner, his guards and provisions were lowered through an opening the size of a manhole, which was the only means of entrance and exit. These holes were often under a Continue Reading
