Sometimes in life we hit a point where each day just feels like a repeat of the day before; We feel like we’re stuck or we’ve lost our passion and our fire. In those seasons, we need a SPARK to get things going again. A spark often comes from being able to see something old in a fresh, new light. God has shown me many, many times over that he can ignite that spark in a bazillion different ways. Let’s talk about some of them!!
If you've never read Leviticus, today's Messy Worship is a bit of a spoiler. But, don't worry - I'll only spoil the first three chapters. Leviticus starts off with a verrrrrrrrry thorough how-to guide on the basics of the different types of offerings that the...
Sometimes I go through my morning routine of getting my kids ready for school without my glasses on or contacts in. On purpose. I did it one morning to test a theory and it worked. My theory was that my observation skills were actually causing me to become more...
A couple months ago a fun trend started popping up on social media. Someone would post a topic and challenge people to show they identify with the topic without actually stating the topic by name. It's kind of a spin off of Charades or Taboo. For example, I might...

Awhile back I had set a goal for myself to drink an entire gallon of water every day. Let me tell you - it's really, REALLY challenging. You have to try to find a way to remember how much is left to drink throughout the day. You have to pee every 30 minutes LIKE...
Confession time: Most of the time, when I pray, I have a specific solution in mind that I'd like God to use as the answer to my prayer. I try to tell myself that it's plain ol' fashioned good etiquette to offer a solution rather than to just whine about something....
Did you know that there's an annual Misery Index? It's literally a list of how miserable a country's population is, ranked in order from 1 (the most miserable people) to 95 (the least miserable people). Out of those 95 nations, Venezuela was deemed the most...
I don’t know about you but in my life, every once in a while, I need a wake-up call. I need a healthy reminder that love is a verb. It’s so easy to slip into a comfortable routine and forget how much more fun it is to live life to the fullest like God calls us to....
Watch out! Remember the three years I was with you – my constant watch and care over you night and day, and my many tears for you. Acts 20:31 NLT “I see you.” Have you noticed people in sitcoms and commercials and movies saying that? It’s been growing in popularity...
