“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6 As, I sit here in quiet prayer and contemplation, thinking about all of the Good in my…
So……long time, no blog. It has been a while since I have posted. Not because I had nothing to write about- (yeah-THAT never happens!)- but I have not had the time and space to process all that has happened these past few months. I graduated from Seminary, and then came home to finish up another…
The past two weeks have been a challenge to say the least. Last January, My Seminary announced that they would be shutting down the satellite campus that I attend.

For forty hours, many people in our church were involved in all types of community service. One lady organized a…
Having an “attitude of gratitude” may seem cliche to some, but I believe there is great power in it. That is why I was so excited to hear about #30daysofgratitude on Facebook. For the month of November, I will be posting daily something that I am grateful for. If you include the hashtag with your…
Hi Rachel! First of all, let me say how much I love you. I am a faithful follower of your blog and I have read and loved both of your books. Your voice in the blogosphere has helped me to find and embrace my own. I consider you a kindred spirit. I was almost afraid…
Have you ever wondered if God is really there? In the movie Bruce Almighty, Jim Carey plays Bruce Nolan, a man who believes that God is messing with his life, or perhaps, even worse, ignoring him entirely. Bruce is a successful news reporter in Buffalo New York. He is one of those guys in the…
