Thirst.
Have you ever felt spiritually dead? Dehydrated? Like your tongue is swelling up inside your mouth and your lips are dry, but you have no moisture with which to lick them? Your heart aches. Something inside of you is absolutely desperate. And so, you try to alleviate the pain. Maybe you use Facebook. Maybe gossiping Continue reading

Idols
There are two kinds of people in this world. People who care about how they are perceived, and people who care about who they are. You cannot be both, though at some time, we all have been. We all have struggled with having idols. Money is common. Love. Control, comfort, success,body image, self reliance… every Continue reading

Anticipation.
And just like that, we are back at one of my favourite times of year. While I prefer stretching sun-warmed limbs under rays of saturating sunshine to the cold, I wouldn’t trade an Alberta winter. I love the way that the snow lays like glittering lace over the spruce boughs, and dresses up the poplars. Continue reading

Count the Cost.
“Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessing and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live! You can make this choice by loving the LORD your God, obeying him, Continue reading

Running races.
When did discipline become a dirty word? I know, here I am, still on about discipline; but I have learned that it is the secret to freedom. Picture this. There are two buildings. Both are beautiful, big, spacious spaces. One building is labelled “Luxurious spa day,” and one is labelled “House of discipline.” Which one Continue reading

Living, breathing temples.
I grew up hearing “Your body is the temple of God. Be careful what you put into it.” This was usually a casual warning meant to steer teenagers away from smoking, alcohol, or promiscuity. It was often uttered by people holding onto an extra large soda and munching on Cheetos. It’s funny how if truth Continue reading

Pray ugly prayers.
As I peruse my Bible in my typically unorganised fashion, I find so much that I relate to. Today, I was reading in Psalm 109, where David spends a lot of time praying that God would take vengeance on his enemies and cause their sins to return to them with all the force of Satan. Continue reading

Echoing through the Generations.
Have you ever felt like the world was stacked against you? You try so hard. You read your Bible. You pray. Maybe you even fast. You try to turn from sin, but it is like it is written into you, somewhere even deeper than your very DNA. Maybe there is a cycle. Maybe it needs Continue reading

We are conduits.
Have you ever had a really strong feeling about something, a suspicion, an accusation, and felt like you were the worst person on earth when you were proved completely wrong? I have. The stakes were high. We were at moose camp, searching desperately through the dark for our missing hunter and guide. When we didn’t Continue reading

Be the light.
Halloween has always been a bit of a tricky subject for me. I started out as a mom not celebrating it. Then, I put my kids in public school and I celebrated it, but without the “death” ornaments etc. Just the bare minimum. Now, faced with a world where there is more open occult and Continue reading
