Best News Ever

You’ll ever be enough. you’ll never match up to what everyone else is doing. You’ll never be the good enough version of yourself that you’re trying to be. You’re too short. You’re not smart enough. You’re too ____. The lies keep swarming around us like we’re a swarm of bees around a bee hive. But these aren’t the only ones we hear. There are plenty more! You have to put in a few more hours. You have to buy that new ____ because everyone else has one! You have to… You must do… You just need… Continue reading

God Only Knows

Imagine a day when you feel like you’ve been dragged behind a truck. You’re physically beat down. Emotionally worn out. Mentally exhausted. You have nothing left. You’ve been pretending for a long time. YOu’ve pretended that you have it all together. You’ve pretended that everything was good, but you’re not fooling anyone – yourself included!  Continue reading

Counting Every Blessing

September 24, 2018 / / 0 Comments

What’s your focus these days? Are you the half empty glass kind of person? Or perhaps you’re the eternal optimist? I tend to be a bit of a realist, and admittedly slide into pessimism from time to time. But there are some who always seem to see the sunshine even in the midst of a cloudy and rainy day. And if I’m being totally honest, sometimes that simply drives me nuts! I’m not sure I know how to find the sunrise in the dark of night. I’m not always able to see the rainbow that hasn’t quite shown up because the storm’s too rough.  Continue reading

Different

There are so many things in life that we want to change. We change our hair color. We change the paint in our living rooms. We change our cars when we get tired of driving the one we have. We change churches when the pastor says something that challenges us. We change our clothes. We change our jobs. We change friend circles as our life stages change. But sometimes we want bigger changes.  Continue reading

Good Fight

Fight or flight? Which is your go to? I know some people who run for the hills when trouble hits. They bury their head in the sand or flee and retreat to a corner and just break. Then there are the other kinds of people who come out with guns blazing ready to take out anyone who comes in the way of their ideas. Which are you? And is there a better option?  Continue reading

Dream Small

August 27, 2018 / / 0 Comments

Big! Grand! Huge! Enormous! Impact! Passion! Power! These are words that we try to claim. We want to make a big impact int the world. We like to have credit given for our accomplishments. We try to make the biggest splash in the pool, build the biggest tower, amass the most money, drive the best car, live in the most beautiful house and have the greenest yard. But what if the big things weren’t the point? What if the small things, the everyday, simple and even mundane things could actually have the biggest impact in the long run?  Continue reading

Resurrection Power

August 20, 2018 / / 0 Comments

As we restart our #musicmonday selection back up again for a new school year, we start with a song that shows new beginnings. As some of you know, I serve as Pastor at Living Word Galena. Through the past few weeks we’ve been talking about a man named Jonah who ran from God, ended up being eaten by a fish and then spit out on land. You can check the messages out here, but just think about that for a second. Swallowed by a fish and then thrown up on land for a second chance! How cool is that!  Continue reading
