Shame causes us to hide. Shame began in the Garden of Eden. After Adam and Eve sinned —they hid from God. They went from feeling safe and secure to feeling over exposed and so they hid. Shame is an unpleasant self-conscious emotion typically associated with a negative evaluation of the self, withdrawal motivations, and feelings of distress, exposure, mistrust, powerlessness, and worthlessness. (Wikipeidia) In today’s video, I share about a time in my life when I did some “hiding”. It was only after I uploaded the video to youtube – that I realized I left out an important detail.

Read MoreFinding Comfort
In last week’s video, I challenged us to get uncomfortable and live outside of our comfort zone. This week I want to go the opposite way and talk about — Finding Comfort. Life is just plain hard for all of us and we all need comfort sometimes. What comforts you? Maybe a bowl of ice cream, chicken noodle soup, a bubble bath and a cozy soft blanket or maybe it’s a long talk with a friend that ends with a hug. Just this past week I made one of my favorite comfort foods – Crock Pot Macaroni and Cheese. Well, today […]

Read MoreGod Is At Work In the Midst of the Mundane and the Pain (Ruth: Week 1)
In the midst of the ordinary and the mundane and the pain – it can be hard to see the hand of God. Sometimes the fear of the unknown, the loss of a loved one, or the basic daily hardships of life –can wear us down. What I love about the book of Ruth is that we see two very broken women – both widows and both unsure of what the future holds…move forward in faith. And its in the midst of the mundane and the pain that God begins to unfold a beautiful story that goes from ordinary […]
