In a world where bills and diapers and to-do lists distract, how can we be sure our lives are making an impact? How can we make a lasting difference? Join me for this discussion on living a life of purpose from authentic identity.
We’ve forgotten who we are. We’re facing an identity crisis. And the reason is very simple: We have forgotten that it’s the very Person of God which defines us. Who He is speaks who we are into being. So, when God is resisted, pushed away, ignored, considered to be imaginary…that’s when we’ll allow anything but Him to…
This blog is nearly 4 years old! And I am readying to attend the Declare Conference for the 4th time – that place where I’ve gone to find rest and inspiration to continue on in this bloggy space. Where women gather to worship. Where friends find one another for the first time. Where the #digitalevangelist…
Recently, I sat down with a friend I haven’t talked with in depth for a while, just a time to catch up and let our kids play. “What’s going on with you these days?” she tossed out with a smile. I stumbled over thoughts. Usually I can pick one or two things going on and jump right…
I sat restless, my certainties from just hours before upended. Surrounded by coffee house chatter, the smell of roasting beans, and a sense that life was about to shift in a dramatic way, I poured out my heart on paper. The years and my choices had taken me far from God. My dreams, ambitions, they…

I’ve tried to answer that question myself many times, with each instance leaving me feeling like I’ve failed. Again. I’ve tried to define myself by the “hats” I wear…and by…
I am utterly amazed and humbled to see this book, which started as a whisper, come to life! God tenderly spoke to me the heart message for Refining Identity 9 years ago…and it has taken form in a way that reaches beyond the shadows of my computer files. I wanted to share the final cover…
So, the raw truth…at first I didn’t want to be a foster mom. As in, I said, “Never!” A string of excuses ensued… “I don’t want to deal with government bureaucracy.” “What if I fall in love and can’t let them go?” “What if we can’t afford it?” “What if it’s dangerous to our family?”…
Fallen leaves embrace dark corners outside the ground floor. Pushed aside, off the trail; product of a few, fenced trees. They are left to be forgotten amidst a concrete and civilized world Until carried away by the promised rain. Layers of dust removed; purity replaces former adulteration Penetrating even the most shadowed spaces, As living…
