When You Can’t Look Up
Dear Making Space for God friends, today is a follow up on last week’s blog, Look Up Not Down. One of my good friends was describing how she and her husband had been through a frightening and difficult time recently and when she had difficulty looking up to God, her friends helped her to look […]
One Spirit
Today I want to talk about unity. Unity has been on my heart for a long time now – unity for our nation, families, churches and communities, and unity with Christ. In fact, Unity: Bringing Hearts Together is the theme for our upcoming Drawing Near to God Conference next week, April 13-14 at Ashley River […]
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 […]

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 […]
Do I Belong?
Welcome to Making Space Mondays! Every Monday we look at a topic together that positions us for spiritual growth in Christ. This week I want to talk about belonging. We all long to belong. In researching the meaning of belonging, I came across some descriptions: A sense of fitting in or feeling like you are […]
Wake Up, Rise Up, Grow Up
Today we started the second half of our semester-long journey through the books of Ruth and Esther by looking at an overview of Esther. I’ll get into some of my notes from my teaching in a bit but first I want to share with you our call as the church to Wake Up, Rise Up […]
