Easier Said Than Done
Today on my Making Space Monday (for God that is!) I want to discuss how impossible it seems to grow fruit. Now I don’t mean fruit such as what grows on trees but fruit that grows in our hearts. Paul called this collectively “fruit” of the Spirit. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, […]
Temple of the Holy Spirit (Video)
Earlier this week, I wrote about the Holy Spirit, Our Guide. Today I want to continue on that track of exploring the Holy Spirit’s presence in our lives by talking about our body being the temple of the Holy Spirit. In the video below, we look at Paul’s words that tell us to make space […]
Holy Spirit, Our Guide
This summer I went on a biking trip and throughout the long, and sometimes grueling, days I began to see an analogy between my husband’s help with my cycling efforts and the Holy Spirit who is our Paraclete (meaning comes alongside). So I decided to share with you some of the insights I learned along […]

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? […]
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 […]

I have added time to my early morning devotionals as well as trying to find some quiet time in the afternoon after my busy days. It’s not easy. Frankly, […]
Jesus Formed in the Womb
Have you ever thought about Jesus being formed in Mary’s womb? The last few days I have been thinking about this. Scripture tells us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made in God’s image– that we were formed in our mother’s womb. And Jesus was too… Though He was the Son of God… He was […]
Shedding Old Clothes
Last week I was discussing the passage in Colossians 3 with someone and it gave me the opportunity to consider it more in depth. Put to death therefore whatever is earthly in you; sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness which is idolatry….Put on then as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, […]
