Earlier this week we marked the 1-year anniversary of the Colorado Governor’s decision to stop large gatherings in the effort to get a handle on the newest viral threat our state was facing. This immediately led to our large staff moving to work-from-home status. I remember how surreal it felt to pack up my office …

Abide
From time to time, the Lord will use repetition to get my attention and it usually involves a specific phrase or word. This repetition basically translates as a knock, knock, knock on the door of my heart. These repeated words will show up in a sermon, a billboard, or in this case a song: “You’re …
Pause
As Administrative Assistants, we operate within some pretty tight timelines. We understand the value of planning, preparing, and having contingency plans A, B & C! We build time margins in to meetings, set phone alarms to signal wrap-ups, and have become masters at the as-we-walk-to-the-next-thing meetings. Our days are well-oiled machines. Until they aren’t! How …
Breath
I recently heard my pastor talk about some world-class runners he was watching compete. These men were strong, high-endurance, and well-trained for this competition. They were committed and gave their all. He reminded us, though, that regardless of how these athletes had finished the race – no matter how they placed – they all had …
Community
Throughout the seasons of my life, community has been a high priority to me. With the arrival of two babies within a 14-month timespan, our church’s chapter of MOPS was a lifeline to me. Then, from toddlers clinging to my legs through the adventures of early elementary, I served on the leadership team of Intimacy …
The List
I spent quite a bit of time asking the Lord if He really wanted me to share this. It’s tough. It’s messy. It’s ugly. It’s exposing. Not really the benchmarks I look for when trying to encourage my friends. It seems so counterproductive but I am going to be obedient….. After all that we walked through in …
Around the Barn
Do you ever feel like you are going in circles? No matter how hard you try to implement a change, you continue the same trek around the barn? Again? Let me assure you this is a normal, even human, experience. I believe all of us would raise our hand in agreement when asked if that …
Surrounded
As the Executive Assistant to our Senior Pastor, I frequently get calls from people looking for a variety of things related to the church, pastoral assistance, sermons, etc. To be completely transparent, this past year has seen more than its fair share of difficult phone calls and emails. The tensions that our communities have seen …
Maps
Back in Junior High School, I took a class that taught me how to read, plot, and draw topographic maps. If you aren’t a map nerd like me, topographic maps show you the earth’s features in a certain location – slopes, valleys, etc – through a series of lines drawn to scale. The closer the …
Celebrate
Happy New Year! For most of us, this signifies the end of a season filled with celebrations, rich foods, and family visits. The New Year also launches many of us into renewed commitments to living better through healthier diets, a more robust prayer life, focused exercise, and purposeful relationships. It has always looked like a …
