thrive with a thorn
What if the struggle we are desperate to escape is the very thing God is using to protect us?
In reflecting on Paul’s thorn, this blog explores how limitations can function as boundaries, guarding our hearts and keeping us aligned with God’s plans. Even when the season does not change, God is still working, and His power is made perfect in our weakness.
manna mindset
In a culture obsessed with control, God invites us into something entirely different: daily dependence. Through a terrifying accident and a season of uncertainty, I learned what it meant to surrender worry and receive the “manna” God provides each morning — peace, mercy, and just enough grace for today.
speak, lord!
God used the simplest moment—an elderly friend leaning in to hear and turning on a light to see—to remind me what it means to position my heart toward Him. In a season filled with noise and distraction, He invites us to sit still, lean closer, and whisper, “Speak, Lord. I am listening.”
a table in the dark
Today, most of our “enemies” are not soldiers with spears. They are opinions, worldviews, notifications, and quiet lies that follow us into the night. Some live online, some sit across the table, and some whisper inside our own heads. Psalm 23:5 reminds us that God does not wait for those enemies to disappear. Right in the middle of the noise, fear, and comparison, He prepares a feast and saves us a seat. We do not have to fight for our place at the table. We just have to come, sit, and receive what He has lovingly prepared.
