Birthday: Five More Years Pursuing Purpose
Today is my birthday, and I am going to repost a story from five years ago (with updates, of course). I was born on June 17, Father’s Day. I am not going to talk about Fathers; I am going to talk about my journey and why I do what I do. To do this, I am using one of the songs from the Hamilton Musical, Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story.

God looks ahead, sees what is coming, and prepares the way for you. Hagar’s experience is one of supernatural provision and deliverance. For Hagar (Genesis 16), it was a desert experience that caused her to finally understand that she was not alone. El-Roi was there watching over her. He saw her anguish and pain. He was there when Sarai told her to leave and not come back. He had a plan already in place Read More

Mindset Mondays: The Power and Purpose of Waiting
Waiting can be hard. The Word instructs us to wait. I was reading my devotional the other day and came upon this definition of wait. The Hebrew word for wait is not a passive, boring waiting that tempts you to sleep and slumber. No, the Hebrew word for wait is qavah. It is an active word that means to wait, look for, hope, expect, look eagerly for, to lie in wait for, to linger for, to collect, bind together, or to be collected. The first time this word shows up in the Bible, however, it was not people who waited, Read More
