God’s Wildest Dream
my journey seeking the heart of God
The Two Great Lies
Who are we? According to Darwin's theory of evolution, we are not created in God’s image. We are the same as the animals. And yet the bible teaches we are made up of earth and of God. All things and creatures that He created He spoke into being with His voice except...
God’s Wildest Dream
You are God’s Wildest dream. You probably didn't know that. I know I didn't. No one ever told me. Maybe they didn't know either. I have ached most of my life with an underlying sense of my own lack. A self-hatred even. Knowing I was not good enough but fighting for a...
The Random Dangerous People
I have often thought I should wear a button that says, “Does not play well with others,” just to warn people there’s a cranky introvert coming their way. It’s not that I don’t want to play well, it’s just that I don’t see how to and when I do, it feels a bit like...
God’s Story of You
I believe God’s beauty fills the earth. I believe God’s beauty fills you. His fingerprint has made you unique. No one, anywhere, is like you. No one brings to earth what you do. No one brings to life what you can. God loves variety. Thousands of species of flowers all...
Sleeping in the Storm
You and I are why there is creation. Why there are blue skies, ocean waves, dolphins, and giraffes. We are the reason God put His story in every living thing and in the stars and sky. You and I, formed from the elements of earth by God’s hands and brought alive by the...
Lost Correspondence: A Glorious Invitation
God sent me a Grand Invitation. It was to a banquet in my honor. To a table He set with beauty from His pure heart of love, thinking of me. He was excited as He sent out the invitation. Excited that I would come and we could sit feasting together talking of everything...
Choosing Hope
There have always been only two stories: the one that God speaks and the one that darkness tells. Each day I get to choose which one I will focus on. Which one I will believe and live by. God’s story is harder to hear. I have to lean in to know what He’s saying. I...
Default Position of Heart
A preselected option adopted when no alternative is specified by the user. This morning the Lord spoke to me about my default position in a crisis. He let me know that what I choose is very, very important. God is the only God who, when I look into His...
The Mystery of You
This mystery of you and I is a quest to find and unravel clues of our uniqueness. To discover God in the evidence of His intention--in nature, in creation, in us. Our God is a spiritual being and so are we, but we don’t always see how to navigate the land of spiritual...
Out of the Cage
Forgiveness is unlocking the door to set someone free and realizing you were the prisoner. Max Lucado God has worked in my heart for years on this. He reminds me of people I have, intentionally, forgotten. People who hurt me or offended me. People I didn’t want to...
Jesus and the Purple Grass
The other day I felt God prompting me to send a web design proposal to an organization that I knew needed a website. I put it together and sent it off to the administrator, I’ll call him Mr. Brown. A few hours later he replied. “ We are; in fact, currently completing...
A Sliver of Pain
This is an ugly story and this is your warning. If you are artistic or creative and see stories come to life, this will be icky and you have my permission to walk away before I get going. When people tell stories, the pictures form in my mind. In color even. The only...
