GTA Advent Journey, Day 14: Illumination
“If God wants you to know Him in a truer way, He will create the circumstances that drive you to seek Him more deeply. He creates the path. And then He is the light of understanding that shines within you….And as I have told you, He wants us to live with hope and expectancy, believing He is going to reveal himself to us more and more. For God wants to be seen. And He wants us to seek. And He moves closer to us when we are expectant of His coming.” ~ Julian of Norwich, Rekindling the Inner Fire Series, David Hazard

Like Peter, a huge wave of doubt can crash in and knock us all off balance… emotionally. How can we find comfort and peace amid the inevitable storms that come our way? By trusting in the…
Light-Silence-Seed-Germination
It is surprising how God works within each of us to gently guide us towards transformation. While there are always tremendous mile markers; the loss of a job, a graduation or maybe the sudden loss of a loved one, if we look carefully we will realize God is usually quietly doing his work day by day. As you look…
New Worlds of Science Fiction
How did God surprise you this year? Can you look back and see the journey of one year? or does it seem like only yesterday you were putting the Christmas tree away from last year’s celebrations? I pray that you take a moment or two, to reflect on those new discoveries you have made over…
Jesus: Extreme Seeking
How can we learn to find Jesus more in our daily life? How can we feel closer to him as we go about our work each week? And how can we find pieces of ourselves with in the pages of our Bible text? Recently, I heard myself say that I felt like Zacchaeus trying to…
