When God Says No
Today I want to share with you an older blog post that still rings true for us today. You see, we all hear “no” and face our own share of disappointments in our lives. But “no” always leads to God’s greater “yes” out of His infinite love for us. Let’s take a look together… We […]
Look Up Not Down
What a week this has been! My church, St. Andrews Mount Pleasant, burned down a week ago today. If you didn’t get a chance to read last week’s blog, here is the link. My week was spent putting out other personal fires and I discovered that I had to move out of my kitchen sooner […]
From Anxiety to Joy
Today I want to talk to you about anxiety. We all get anxious and worried about situations in our lives, and you can use herbal remedies to help such as those found here https://www.frontrangerelief.com/cbd-softgels/, but Scripture teaches us that praise and worship is the antidote to anxiety. In the below entry from my devotional, Sitting […]
Did God Really Say?
Today is another glorious day as we seek to Make Space for God together. I am sitting outside listening to the birds and marveling at God’s creation.

Come Out of Hiding
Good morning, Making Space for God friends. I always enjoy our time together on Making Space Mondays, unpacking topics that impact our spiritual growth.

Come Just As You Are
Good morning, Making Space for God friends! Last week as I was preparing to meet some friends for dinner, I looked in the mirror and thought, “Boy, do I look terrible.” I even entertained the idea of not going because facing the redo that was needed was daunting. It was the end of the day […]
God is Still on the Throne
This week in my Making Space for God post, I want to address the subject of feeling powerless. I have been talking to many people who are in despair for a multitude of reasons. It’s something that at one time or another we all deal with and often we find that hopelessness jumps into the […]
Crisis & Response
A couple of months ago, I wrote a blog on how Crisis is Revealing. Today I taught on crisis and how we must respond as Christians, looking at Esther 3 & 4. I always share notes from my teaching on the blog on Thursdays. Let’s start by looking at spiritual warfare: Our battle is not against […]
Count it All Joy
Good morning friends! Today we are going to look at a way to make space for God when life overwhelms us. The Scripture I have been pondering is James 1:2: Count/ consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds. We all face trials— sometimes daily. Sometimes at the […]
