Facing Your Goliath
Have you ever imagined what it must have felt like to be David standing in front of Goliath armed with only a slingshot and a few stones? No armor. Not sword. Just a boy with enough courage and faith to stand up to the giant in front of him. Something no one else in the area […]
A Hundred Years to Live
Recently I was blessed with two and a half hours on the road all by myself. I did something I hadn’t done in a very long time; I unplugged from all the podcasts and lessons I usually listen to and simply allowed myself to enjoy my favorite Pandora station the entire trip. I’d forgotten how […]
The Happily Ever After Guarantee
And they lived happily ever after. Let’s face it. A little part of us all loves a story that ends well. We want the good guy to win. We want the underdog to come out on top. We ultimately want everyone to be happy, don’t we? That is another reason why I love the holidays. […]
Will You Be On Board?
If Noah was boarding the ark today, would you be in line to embark with him? Or would you be watching as he loads the animals two by two mocking him for his foolishness like everyone in his day did? Even knowing how it turned out way back then, I’m guessing many would make the […]
A New Way to Celebrate the Holidays
Thanksgiving is upon us and with it brings the hope of Christmas. Yes, the commercial side of Christmas has been on display in stores for about a month now and although I used to be a little annoyed by the early displays and music, I’m finding that I’m actually enjoying it this year. I’m truly […]
The Promise for Something More
Have you ever looked at something that you’ve seen dozens of times a day for years and suddenly see something you’ve never seen before? That happened to me this week. I love the lessons we get when we allow our minds to go where God leads us. I had been preparing for my women’s retreat […]
The Call to Freedom
This week’s episode of Longing for More is an interview with Becky Rasmussen, the Executive Director of Call to Freedom which is an organization committed to navigating a healthy path from victim to survivor through victim-centered responsive services to those who have experienced sexual exploitation and human trafficking. The interview is much longer than most but is […]
Connecting with Your More
I have a quote on the home page of my website that says, “Your soul is longing to live out the calling God has placed on your heart. Reconnect with your dreams, those things you love, and…Live your More!” You see, I believe with all my heart that God places the desires we have on […]
Strangers in a Foreign Land
Much like Claire in the popular STARZ series, Outlander, we are strangers in a foreign land. If you are a fan, you already know that Claire is a British woman who travels through time from the post World War II era in Scotland to the late 1700’a on the Scottish Highlands. Despite many challenges, she finds happiness […]
All Who Wander Are Not Lost
We all have an image in our mind of what it looked like as God parted the Red Sea to let his people out of Egypt. Walls of water towering over the Israelites as they escaped from Pharaoh and his troops. One resource I looked at said there were about two million people leaving Egypt. […]
