HOPE IN GOD
Why would God bother with something so trivial? God “bothers” because we are not trivial – we are His beloved.
LOVING IN THE THRESHOLD
Creating this small haven of quiet regains my stillness and opens my heart wide enough to open what is closed, widen what is narrow, and love large where it is small.
WHAT MAKES YOU REAL?
The miracle of God made flesh on earth can feel a bit far-fetched, too amazing to be true. The love and legacy of Jesus' family reveal his real-ness.
PROPHETS - YOU AND ME?
Help me live prophetically in a way that reflects that all are welcome in your family.
GOD’S PROMISES OF JOY
In the midst of doubts and questions, let us ask for the grace to trust that God's promise of joy will be fulfilled for us, even if that joy is beyond our present imagining.
DETACHMENT AND RECEPTIVITY
Whatever our particulars, let us strive to acknowledge our need, detach, and surrender to the Lord.
WORTH THE WORK
Jesus is inviting everyone to do the work with him, and it happens in the most unexpected places—even us.
OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE
Mary's yes to having Jesus as her son & letting him go to the cross teaches us that a relationship with God is charged with both grace & challenge.
A PREGNANT PAUSE
Amidst the flurry of tinsel and sprinkles and holiday cheer, it is a moment to ground ourselves in the joy of waiting.
COME, LORD JESUS
Advent is a time to help deepen my longing for Jesus and justice, and recognize areas in my heart that need transformation.
AN INVITATION TO DANCE WITH CHRIST
Have I taken time out of my busy holiday preparations to make time for God lately?
YOU HAVE FOUND FAVOR WITH GOD…
I often trust myself and my own emotions over the truth of God’s love for me.
GOD IS NEAR
God knew all along that I would drift from my chosen path, but this did not stop Him from making sure I was surrounded by His love.
THE POWER AND PEACE OF FAITH
Where have you felt the hand of God guiding you perhaps in moments of unrest or despair?
PREPARE THE WAY
By mending our ways and redirecting our lives toward God, we become more present and active witnesses of hope with and for others.
BLESSED ARE ALL WHO WAIT FOR THE LORD
Never in my wildest dreams, could I imagine that a sinner like me would be worthy of a miracle.
NOW AND LATER
The time of waiting is the preparation for the future. It is in that space where real life takes place.
DOING WITH GOD
This action of doing with God constantly teaches me how to rely on God’s graces rather than allowing my weaknesses to become my crutch.
