Willing to Go →
One week from today, I will pack up my car, drive to the city of Chicago, hop a plane and begin the 15 hours of travel to the Czech Republic.
I couldn’t be more excited.
If you know me at all, or have followed this blog for any amount of time, you know my heart beats for Czech. And all of Central and Eastern Europe.
I have made a commitment to that area of the world. I have traveled there...

Stepping Stone Seasons →
We don’t like the difficult seasons in life. We don’t jump up and down for joy when everything goes wrong.
We struggle when the heavens seem silent. We get uncomfortable when God doesn’t fulfill His promise in our timeframe. We freak out when the job is lost, the family fights and our health dwindles. We can’t stand staying in the dead end job longer than a day. We hate chasing a dream,...

Propelling Seasons →
Every season in life is different. Every season has its own unique characteristics.
Some seasons are full of joy and prosperity. Others are rife with hardship. Some seasons we anticipate with excitement. Others we would rather avoid. Some seasons we look back on with fond memories. Others we wish we could forget. Some seasons bring the realization of goals and dreams. Others bring those goals...

Changing Seasons →
We all experience seasons in life. We all go through times marked by a distinctive characteristic.
We go through seasons of prosperity and seasons of lack. We experience seasons of growth and season of stagnation. We wrestle through seasons of hardship and rejoice in seasons of peace. We face seasons of anonymity and seasons of popularity. We go through seasons where it seems as if God has left...

World Changing Favor →
We tend think God’s favor gives us an easy life. We like to believe His blessings will keep us from harm.
We see His favor as giving us that job we’ve always wanted. We believe it will keep us from ever facing financial hardship. We think His favor means we will always get the promotion. We believe it will give us the seats of honor in our city. We are convinced His favor will always provide...

Positioning Favor →
We all desire God’s favor. We all want to walk in His blessings.
We want that great paying job. We desire places of honor at work and in church. We pray for peace and health in our families. We desire a happy life free of trouble and strain. We want the adventure, the love story, the “change the world” calling. We hope to never be in financial trouble, never face persecution...

Glad Father's Day is over...
My biggest desire in life is to be a father and, well, days like today are rough, watching everyone else celebrate being a father and being reminded of the one thing God keeps holding back from me. Seriously wondering if it will ever happen. Rough, rough day.

Killing our Identity →
We tend to think embracing our true identity will be easy. We like to believe discovering our life’s calling will happen over night.
We come to Christ, make that decision to follow Him, and expect our lives will be made whole within a week. We spend time in prayer and believe we’ll discover our life’s calling before our last Amen. We fast and cry out and follow some step-by-step miracle program...

Child of the Living God →
We all desire to find our identity. We all want to know who we are and what we were created to do.
We spend time asking God about our calling. We go to conferences and seminars to develop our dreams. We take tests and quizzes and surveys seeking out our strengths and gifts. We develop hobbies, set goals and strive to become the best at something. We go to school, get a job and work up the...

In Christ Alone →
Finding our identity isn’t always easy. Discovering who we are doesn’t come naturally to us.
We want others to determine if we’re loved and accepted. We look to society to tell us we are successful. We focus on the words of those we admire to shape who we become. We strive to find the right job, the right spouse, the right house. We twist and turn and squeeze to fit into the...
