Feel the Burn

Some personal trainers say that when lifting weights, it’s important to “feel the burn.” For muscle growth and increasing strength, it’s important to push yourself beyond your comfort level by adding a few more pounds to the bar or doing an extra set.

The Power of Testimony

There are many things that I know to be true about myself. I know where I excel and the creative things that come naturally. There are other things that I know about myself – where I stumble and struggle – the move too fast, speak too fast, do too much.  I know the reality that someoneContinue reading “The Power of Testimony”

Who Holds Your Mirror?

Let’s visualize for a moment each of us are standing in front of a mirror. Since we are made in His image, God is holding each mirror. When we sin it’s like streaks on a mirror. You know the ones – they are stubborn, you can’t quite see any clear image because they are in the way. They take a little more work to wipe away.

Back Talk

One of my greatest passions is speaking to students and helping them think about their future. I want to help them understand, early in life, how their decisions now will impact their future. They need to develop goals, and then develop plans to achieve those goals. It’s something I missed out on in that stageContinue reading “Back Talk”

A Prayer in the Waiting

Gracious Lord, I seek You today in my current season of waiting, with the desire of what I am waiting on stirred up in my heart. God, You know exactly what I am waiting for. And I know that, right now, it is Your grace that sustains me. As I have read the truth ofContinue reading “A Prayer in the Waiting”
