Wound Up Over Nothing
So here we are officially in the advent season. And we have two choices. We can enter in to the mad rush of shopping, baking, writing Christmas cards, parties…. or we can first enter into the secret place with the Lord each day and then start our busy days. I am not Scrooge telling you not […]
Healed by His Wounds
Once again, I wanted to pop in here and share with you some notes from my weekly teaching. Although our study of Isaiah is coming to a close, we’re excited to be offering not one but two studies during our semester starting in January. I invite you to join me for a short 3-week series […]
The Mind of Christ
Happy Monday, making space for God friends! Last night, a Scripture kept running through my mind, so I thought we would unpack the meaning of it together. It has been following me throughout the day in my thought life and I keep wondering as Paul wrote these words to the people in Philippi: what was […]
Driving in the Fast Lane
Years ago, when I lived in Germany, I remember my frightening first trip on the Autobahn; it seemed like everyone was driving at a speed above 80 MPH. I got in my very slow, no pick-up car, and huddled on the side of the road, praying for my life. Everyone else seemed calm and confident. Why? […]

God’s Strength to Deliver
This week, we continued our study of Isaiah with the lesson, “God’s Strength to Deliver.” As you know, I like to share notes from my weekly teaching here on the blog. So, let’s start by looking at the meditation verse for this lesson — ‘Strengthen the feeble hands, steady the knees that give way; say […]
Holy Nudges
Good morning Making Space for God friends! This morning I was thinking about my friend whose mother suddenly died. And then my thoughts went to my own parents who quickly had a change in their health (seemed like overnight). Sometimes when we least expect it, things happen. But what really caught my attention is that […]
Turning Darkness into Light
Today I want to share with you an entry from my daily devotional, Drawing Near to God. Did you know that you can keep up with the devotional on our website or via our mobile app? I especially love that we offer this through our app because it’s a great way to do the devotional […]

Their theme was, “Be Still.” They were delightful and eager to connect with our theme in practical ways. My […]
