5/21/24 : At what point do we put down the phone and turn our eyes to the Lord? Man's accolades - read: Facebook likes and Instagram hearts - will not fill you. Sure, it's a fleeting feel good, but it doesn't quench the thirst of your soul. It doesn't fill the crevices with Living Water … Continue reading On My Heart

5/20/24 : Part Two : I have confession to make. Well, it’s kind of a confession…we got up at 3am today so that we could make it to Chelsea Bagels to meet Richard a little before 7am. And guess who was there, rolling his walker around asking people if they knew he was an author? … Continue reading Richard

5/15/24 : I have a love/hate relationship with traveling. I love going places and eating good food and spending time exploring with my husband, but I hate that it takes me completely off of my routine. And I really do miss my normal quiet time. I just read about Hosea and Gomer in Chaim Bentorah's … Continue reading More Racham
Story time
5/18/24 : Story time! Part One : Yesterday we went to get bagels at our favorite little bagel place called Chelsea Bagels in Midtown Manhattan. If you’re ever near Grand Central Station, you should go. We got there a bit before they opened at 7 AM and an older gentleman with a rolling walker came … Continue reading Story time
Racham
5/3/24 : Getting my face out of my phone has allowed me to see other people. Actually SEE them. And when I started leaning into the racham of God, only then can I truly love other people. This does not come naturally to me. Sure, I can be kind. I can even be nice. But … Continue reading Racham
Breakthrough!
4/19/24 : Just had a breakthrough!! My whole life I was taught to love Jesus because He died on the cross for my sins. Which, at its core, is incredible. Absolutely just mind-blowing. But it also felt very…. “love Him because He did this.” It didn’t feel natural. Or romantic. Or good. It felt very … Continue reading Breakthrough!
Do I really love God?
4/12/24 : What beauty the Hebrew language is teaching me. I have failed miserably to love God and worship God the way He deserves to be worshipped and loved. Worship isn't what I've been taught the last 54+ years of my life. (But that’s another book for another time that I have only read the … Continue reading Do I really love God?
Out & About
4/2/24 : This kind of sucks about not mindlessly scrolling - what happens when you're out and everyone you're with picks up their phone and starts scrolling? It sort of feels like you're left out of some kind of secret club. Like maybe you're missing out on something. So what are you supposed to do … Continue reading Out & About
Walking With God
Before you read this… I did a devotion back in March - kind of deep dive on a few Hebrew words via the YouVersion Bible app written by a man named Chaim Bentorah. I was so blown away by what I learned that I bought three of his books. This is mostly what I’ll be … Continue reading Walking With God
Back At It
My goodness, I’m fickle! It’s 2024 and I’m still talking about the perils of social media. And stepping away… anyway, about 4 weeks ago, I asked God what I should do to grow closer to Him and He very clearly said… get off social media. Let me give you a teeny bit of my backstory. … Continue reading Back At It
