Come Just As You Are

Good morning, Making Space for God friends! Last week as I was preparing to meet some friends for dinner, I looked in the mirror and thought, “Boy, do I look terrible.” I even entertained the idea of not going because facing the redo that was needed was daunting. It was the end of the day […]

God is Still on the Throne

This week in my Making Space for God post, I want to address the subject of feeling powerless. I have been talking to many people who are in despair for a multitude of reasons. It’s something that at one time or another we all deal with and often we find that hopelessness jumps into the […]

Crisis is Revealing

This last week in preparation for a Category 5 hurricane we all witnessed some amazing things. We were able to see how resilient and strong people really are. Currently as I am writing this blog, Florida is being hit on all sides and the weather channel is describing the catastrophic results. But here is what […]

Peace Like a River

Earlier this week I talked about how Peace and Joy are Not Options. Rather, Jesus pours His peace into us through His Holy Spirit. With that theme in mind, I want to share with you this entry from my Sitting at His Feet devotional. For those of you who follow my blog, you may know […]

What is Your Message?

Good morning Making Space for God friends! This morning I want to challenge you to think about something I recently heard: Our mess of yesterday can become our message today…. How true this is? It’s easy to look at our failures– the things that we wished we had not done, or our messes– when things […]

Don’t Postpone Joy

Sometimes I find myself saying things like:  Tomorrow will be a better day. Or If I do (blank) then I will find joy. Or… If I buy this new thing it will make me feel better. Or if I had more money… You get where I am going with this. Let’s face it. It’s easy […]
