Because I want to be a real girl
Revelation 4:1 tells us “There is a door standing open in heaven.” I want to spend the last few moments communicating as openly as I can about that wonderful door. No filters. No pretense. Here’s the unvarnished truth. I wish I could tell you that every morning when I set out to pray, the heavens part and communion with the One my soul loves is immediate. But
The Mysterious Attentiveness of God
I was at the Dallas airport, riding the Skylink headed to another terminal, when I took a phone call from my sister. I didn’t have her on speaker, and I was trying to keep my voice down, because no one enjoys loud one-sided conversations, but I sensed I was bothering the older woman seated directly across from me. I thought I knew why. The nature
Caramel and Oats Skillet Cookie
Say skillet cookies and I’m in, but add Caramel Chips and Oats and I’m all in. Okay, so you could also call it a pie. Either way, put the coffee on and call the family. The apples, the spice, the caramel? It tastes like Fall on a plate! Let me walk you through it. "Caramel and Oats Skillet Cookies" 1 cup unsalted butter, softened 1 and ½ cup

Short Order Burritos for Breakfast
School's in and mornings can be feeling a little frantic. Can I get a witness? I get it. Harvest is in full swing here and that means mornings are moving quickly here, too. My answer? Short order Breakfast Burritos. I like to serve them as "breakfast for supper" with fresh guac, sour cream, and jalapeno cheese grits. Freeze the leftovers individually in foil packets and
Bumping into God
This morning, early this morning, cause Louisiana August and all, I was watering flowers and encouraging the little guys in their struggle. If you can make it “this far” and still be alive, and even growing, you got this. One thing led to another and I began washing down the front porch. As I sprayed, I was praying for this that and the other. (If you’ve

If you didn’t listen to “Playing Catch-up and Part I of Finding Margin for the Devotional Life”, I hope you’ll take some time to circle back there. The comments from that episode lead me to believe it hit the mark with so many listeners, and I
