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 […]
River of His Presence
Today is Making Space for God Monday and I want to share with you a little bit about peace. When we make space for God, His peace becomes available to us. No matter what trial or difficulty you may be facing, God’s peace gives hope. See the below entry from my devotional, Sitting at His […]
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.

Worrying is Not an Option
What if worrying were not an option? What if we had only two options: 1. Trust God 2. Let go of control. Actually, as part of humankind, we all worry at one time or another. It’s in our nature. But wouldn’t it be fabulous if we could not worry; if we simply could not […]

The Hamster Wheel of Busyness
May is in full swing and I’ve heard it said that “May is the new December.” Just like December fills up with shopping, Christmas parties, holiday activities, etc., May seems to fill up quickly with recitals, end of the year parties, graduation ceremonies and more. While these are all good things, we must recognize when […]
Look Up Not Down
What a week this has been! My church, St. Andrews Mount Pleasant, burned down a week ago today. If you didn’t get a chance to read last week’s blog, here is the link. My week was spent putting out other personal fires and I discovered that I had to move out of my kitchen sooner […]
The Stuff that Drives Us Crazy
Today I want to share with you an older blog post that still rings true today – about the stuff that drives us crazy and how we, as Christians, are taught to react. There is a song that I just love about things that drive me crazy (you can listen to it here or below.) In […]
Worn Out?
Today in my Making Space for God blog, I want to discuss an epidemic that I see in Christian circles– being worn out. I can easily recognize the symptoms. When asked how you are doing the response is, “I am busy!” Or perhaps I see the same glazed over look in their eyes as I […]
