Currently, I am reading the book by Dr. W Lee Warren called The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery: Connecting Neuroscience and Faith to Radically Transform Your Life. This quote stood out to me as it is something that God has been teaching me over the past few months. “In that moment, something cracked open in…

Recently, God has brought several books across my path regarding how our thoughts shape our brain and how by changing our thoughts we can shape our brain. (Yes, you may need to read that again.)

It is easy to complain especially when going through difficult times. This morning, Numbers 11:1-3 jumped off the page at me.

A dear friend sent me this text a few days ago, “Just heard this quote: ‘Sometimes when you’re in a dark place, you think you’ve been buried. But actually, you’ve been planted.’” (Christine Cain) Woah. That “sat down hard and took up a lot of pew” as my dad used to say. It challenged my…
