Whom Shall I Fear?
Today’s subject for Making Space for God Monday is fear. There is no one on the planet who has not experienced fear. The definition of fear is an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain or a threat. Fear is something that we all have in common. It is unpleasant, often […]
God’s Leading
In Monday’s Making Space for God blog post, I talked about Taking a Risk and specifically the question, “How do you know when God is asking you to step out in faith and take a risk?” God gives us signposts to help us discern His will. But once we’re ready to take that next step, it […]
Taking a Risk
Good morning, Making Space for God friends! I have been thinking about something for the last few days. What if I choose to take a risk and then I fail miserably? I am embarking on a new season in the life of Drawing Near Ministry and we are in a time of great transition. At […]
A Thankful Heart Transforms
As many of you who read my blog know, as the New Year began, I sensed the Lord saying that this was the year of transformation. Today I want to talk to you about one aspect of transformation – thankfulness. This can be hard – to give thanks in all circumstances. But it does bring […]

An Invitation to Be Yourself
Good morning and welcome to Making Space for God Mondays! The purpose of this blog is to help you declutter your life so that you can make room for God. So many of us are so intensely busy that to think of putting one more thing on our “to do” list freaks us out. My […]
Keep Your Eyes on Me
I had a conversation today with someone about faith in our circumstances and so I thought I would share with all of you an entry from my devotional, Sitting at His Feet. As you may know, this devotional is a compilation of journal entries from my personal quiet times with the Lord. These writings come out […]
Buried in Stress
Friends, since this blog is about making space for God I am going to be very frank with you. More and more Christians seem to be stressed out, overcommitted, having little time for breaks in the day. Ruth Haley Barton describes this indicating that we are not able to be present in the moment because […]
