Hello, My Name is Eve
Diet Coke and malted milk balls. Those are just two of my vices. I rationalize giving in to those vices just like Eve in the garden. I’m learning to change my thinking and my behavior so that I don’t indulge. Each time I overcome my temptations I feel a sense of victory that strengthens me for the next time. Continue reading
Do Something!
When we take a small step for God, he honors that effort and encourages us in it. How else can you explain my ability to get up at 5 a.m. every weekday to have time to write Teachings from the Trail? Sometimes God just needs us to demonstrate our commitment with one small action and not just words. He wants us to do something…and he’ll do the rest. Continue reading

Being Pursued
Leading an Alpha group gives me the chance to see God pursue people new to their faith. It encourages and refreshes me in my faith to see how real God is in people’s lives. If you’ve become dry, spend some time around someone new to the faith or someone overflowing in the Holy Spirit. You will be renewed and refreshed. If you’ve never known what it feels like to be pursued by God, check out an Alpha course near you. Continue reading

Ernie’s Endurance
Ernie has great endurance — even on six hour rides he doesn’t seem to tire. Just as he continues to walk with his head held high and step out even hours into a ride, we also need to hold fast to our faith in difficult times. It’s in those times that our faith is tested and strengthened. We need to have the endurance – the perseverance – to press on and press into to God. When we must tire, when we question our circumstances, we must lean on God. It can be a challenge to keep our faith. We get burnt out, or prayed out. That’s when we need to persevere the most because our lowest point often precedes victory. If you give up today, you may not know how God may deliver you tomorrow.

Missed Opportunities
I missed riding my horse last weekend — which could be one of the last nice weekends before winter. I’m lamenting that missed opportunity and learning from it. I’m making efforts to embrace the opportunities that come my way rather than live with the disappointment of missing out. Continue reading
