New Year’s Resolutions
Every year during the month of December I spend time talking to God about the New Year and evaluating the past year. I do not approach this as an arduous task but one I look forward to each year. I review the things that went well the past year and think about the things that […]
Our True Love Gave to Us…
“On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me…” You remember the song, don’t you? The one about the presents that were given by someone’s “true love?” As we prepare for Christmas tomorrow, I want to encourage you all to make space for our true love, Jesus Christ. Somehow in the midst […]
Christmas Choices
This morning, I want to share with you an entry from my daily devotional, Drawing Near to God. The entry is called Choosing Whom We Will Serve and while we must make this choice daily, we all need a little encouragement this time of year when we can get caught up in the hustle and […]
Managing Our Time
Today, I want to share with you a post I shared on the blog last year during Advent, but I think the subject still hits home for many of us today — managing our time. I hope that as we embrace this Advent season, we are all encouraged to make space for God in our […]
Superwoman Syndrome
A few years ago, I wrote an op-ed titled the Superwoman syndrome. The point of the article was to help women who are overwhelmed with life make space for God in their lives. In a recent blog post on margins, I wrote the following on the same subject: Together we are on an amazing journey […]

The Blame Game
Happy Monday! The other day I witnessed a couple in a heated argument. I was not eavesdropping; it was just impossible not to overhear their conversation. They were blaming each other for something that their child did. I went home and smugly thought to myself, ‘So glad that I am not prone to blaming my […]
Rest for Our Souls
This week, we continued our study of Isaiah with the lesson, “Rest for Our Souls.” 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 — In repentance and rest is your salvation; in quietness and trust […]
The Contented Life
Today I was meditating on the Apostle Paul’s words where he described his life– once a rich, powerful man reduced to being beaten, ship wrecked, and imprisoned for his faith in Jesus Christ. Yet in the midst of his suffering he wrote the following: I know what it is to be in need, and I know […]
Be Still
Good morning, Making Space for God community! This week I had the privilege of teaching at a Conference with women from all over the US who are part of an organization called Daughters of the King. Their theme was, “Be Still.” They were delightful and eager to connect with our theme in practical ways. My […]
