I like hanging around people who make me think. And that’s one of the reasons I like my friend Rachel Hauck. She makes me think. Big thoughts. Braver thoughts. Bolder thoughts. She makes me open my eyes wider and look for God, and all the while it’s like she’s whispering in my ear, “He’s right there, Beth. Can’t you see …
I first read this quote by C.S. Lewis on my writer-friend, Susan Tuttle’s, blog: Steps Into the Abundant Life. I tucked it away in my quote file thinking I’d highlight it one day … and today’s the day. I’ve wanted to be a lot of different things in my life. Older — as in “Oh, I can’t wait to be 10 …
The first time I read Anne Morrow Lindbergh’s quote about achieving a state of inner spiritual grace, I thought “Yes. I want that too.” I just didn’t know the journey I would need to take to “function and give as I was meant to in the eye of God” was going to be so arduous. Inner spiritual grace sounded so …
I love the rhythm of the words in today’s quote. God can change … He can orchestrate … He can alter … He can and does … The words becomes are anthem of hope.

The faith-realities — no contradiction there — that I turn to over and over again when doubt whispers in my ear or failure taunts me or an invisible someone insists I’m not good enough. God is with me. His very name is Immanuel, God with us …

I’ve been taught the importance of both “letting my requests be made known” (talking to God) and “being still and knowing” (listening for God). And then I stumble to my knees, humbled by the idea of prayer …
How has God showed up for you? Last night Jerri Marr spoke at the church my family attends. Who is Jerri Marr, you ask? She’s a 26-year veteran of the U.S. Forest Service and more importantly to thousands of people in Colorado Springs this past summer, Jerri was the voice of calm and hope during the Waldo Canyon Fire. She talked briefly …
“Feeling better has become more important to us than finding God.” ~Larry Crabb (1944-), psychologist & author I read this quote and said, “Huh.” Out loud.
