God-Centered Prayer: Week 3 – God’s Peace
Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. Psalm 61:1-2 Every day I woke up and walked the sterile halls down to the dining hall. I saw the same doctors, the same nurses and the same cleaning crew as I smiled through my terrified thoughts. I got my coffee and walked the same path back to my husband’s side. I sat beside him and did what I could to make him comfortable. This
God-Centered Prayer: Week 2 – God’s Power
We often struggle beneath the weight of our burdens because we cannot see beyond our current reality. The pain is too deep, the heartache is too terrible and we cannot reason away the “whys” of our worst nightmares. If we change our thinking to focus on God’s power rather than on our problems, we will take the first step toward living in the presence of God’s power. This week I heard of divorce, cancer, suicide, sexual abuse, hurt feelings, pornography, and deep struggles. People are walking all around us carrying great big, unbearable burdens. The burdens are powerful. They break
Radio Interview with Missions Radio
I had the opportunity to share my heart on Missionsradio.org. I am not a radio girl, but I believe it was an opportunity to spread Jesus name farther than my hands can reach.

Interview with Missions Radio Love & Blessings, Micah
God-Centered Prayer: Week 1- God’s Presence
“The presence of God is hard to define, but His absence is easy to detect.” –Michael Catt Do you ever feel like God is far away? Prayer is often a list of requests, a plea for help and a desire to get an answer. Over the next five weeks, we will we take a journey toward “God-Centered Prayer.” The purpose of this series is to pray to God acknowledging who He is and what He has done in our lives. Prayer is so much more than self-centered requests. Let’s shift our focus from what we need from God and give
The Bravest Thing
It’s sometimes the obvious things that are the most difficult. It’s obvious that we need to confess our sins and turn from them, but it’s much more difficult to actually take that step. Sometimes it’s comfortable to stay put. The guilt becomes the norm and the struggle seemingly fades away. The sin that consumes your life looks normal and you are surrounded by other people engaging in the same stuff. You can go on for a while, pressing down conviction and the knowledge of right and wrong. After all, everyone is doing it. At some point you are faced with
Waiting for Flowers to Bloom
Amidst the palette of brown crispy branches there was one tree that had little green buds on every branch. I admired the tiny leaves that were beginning to take shape. It was a clear representation of new life after a cold, hard winter. I watched over the next few days and weeks as more and more buds began to appear. As I think back on the one tree that stood out from the rest, I wonder what made it different from the others. It wasn’t the oldest tree or the biggest. It wasn’t the most beautiful and didn’t have the
