Live for Each Day
A few weeks ago, I had a true, whirlwind of a weekend! My son graduated from Medical school and relatives were in town. Such fun. I learned something significant over that weekend. Don’t miss out on today. Sounds so simple but I think sometimes we are either caught up in past or looking towards the […]
Dealing with Anxiety by Making Space for God – Part 3
Good morning, Making Space for God community! Today I have another video to share with you as part of the series on dealing with anxiety. Are you anxious? Overwhelmed? I believe that when we make space for God, we have the tools to deal with anxiety. Let’s take a look at what Jesus says about […]
Taking Away the Heavy Yoke
Good morning, Making Space for God community! Now that we’re “unofficially” into summer, let’s talk about rest. For some people, summer can be a truly restful time – no school or schedules. And for others, it seems even crazier than the school year, with vacations, family visiting, camps, etc. But God invites us – at […]
Too Many Requests
Good morning my Making Space for God friends! Today I have been working on a series of teachings on unity and prayer for my upcoming Drawing Near Conference in Charleston SC. During my preparation time, I began to click through Safari, email, etc. and my computer just gave up. I admit I was moving fast, […]
Working from Rest
Friends, I hear from people every day they are overwhelmed with life; emotionally or physically fatigued and even flat-lined in their faith. I have always believed that the enemy of best is good.

Trembling at His Voice
This week in our study, Living in God’s Presence, our lesson was entitled, Trembling at His Voice. What a cheery title, right? But in all seriousness, this week we talked about the beauty of God’s voice– His whisper. So many of us fear His voice and yet He is the tender Shepherd who leads us into our hopes, dreams […]
The Veil of His Presence
This week in our study, Living in God’s Presence, we talked about The Veil of His Presence and how it’s evident when we have spent time in God’s presence. It is obvious when we have spent time with the Lord because we become like the one whom we behold. Jesus gave us the model of […]
Bucket List
I have always been intrigued by the expression ” bucket list”. I wonder who made up that phrase meaning those things that we hope to do in our lifetime? When I think of a bucket, I think of filling it up with water, or seashells since I live near the beach…. but things I want […]
Consuming Fire
Good afternoon, Drawing Near to God community! We are continuing our journey through my study, Living in God’s Presence. The theme of this week is “Consuming Fire.” In this week’s study, we looked at Moses’ encounter with God through the burning bush. Here’s a short video clip that we watched that really brings the story […]
The Final Exam
Do you remember when you had to prepare for your final exams? One of my most anxiety producing exams was a European history exam. The thing about exams is that there is absolutely nowhere to get help from, no cheetahpapers.com to turn to, no books to remind you of key facts, no discussions with others […]
