A Poem of Salvation
Montreal Music Tour #2
Here I am once again at a Starbucks with Dana, trying to wrap my mind around the events of this week. Both Dana and I have said how this week has seemed so long! I think it’s because we’ve kept ourselves really busy, and we both feel very productive with all that we’ve been able to get done this week.

I’ve barely had a moment to sit down and write a blog about this tour yet!
Dana Marie and I have had so much fun so far! We began on Saturday night Read More
Waiting
My stomach is in knots, my palms are sweaty, and I feel like screaming. I want things my way, and I want to be in control.
What do you do when you are forced to wait? Perhaps there is a situation in your life that has forced you to wait. Maybe it’s a lifelong dream to become a parent, or meet the love of your life, or get that job you always wanted. Doesn’t it seem like God has forgotten about you sometimes? Read More
At the Name of Jesus
Last night I was volunteering at a drop in centre that I attend weekly. I usually go and sing and play with guitar with a couple other ladies who have beautiful voices and hearts.

Finding Treasure

I woke up this morning with a prayer on my lips: “Lord, reveal yourself to me.”
I spent most of yesterday evening praying, singing songs of worship, and searching for God’s presence. Right before bed, I prayed that I would not lose that sense of purpose in seeking Him. It just seems too easy to forget the good things of yesterday when you wake up to a new day. So, when I woke up this morning, I really felt I needed a strong sense of his presence, otherwise my day would just be wasted.
Immediately after I prayed this prayer, an image popped into my head. It was from a parable that Jesus told long ago about the man who finds buried treasure in a field and sells all he has to go purchase that field and have the treasure. Read More
In tough situations, God is working on you

Wait for the LORD;
Be strong and take heart
and wait for the LORD.
-Psalm 27:14
Sometimes life can just seem overwhelming. You wonder where God is and what He’s doing…if anything! He seems so distant, so uninvolved sometimes. If you’re like me, you might blame yourself for whatever is going wrong. You think that you must have some secret sin that has made God so mad that He’s remaining silent. For a moment you forget His incredible grace…you forget the cross…
And then…
Suddenly, He touches your heart. He reminds you that He’s in control, that His love is unfailing and His faithfulness is unending. For a solitary moment, you get a glimpse of the bigger picture.
God has allowed these things in your life for your benefit. He’s making you the person you were meant to be…holiness is his goal. He knows exactly what you are able to handle.
In every tough situation, He is the Rock and Fortress, your Shepherd, who will never leave you to face things alone. As you and I keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, we will be able to not only endure these hard times, but we will be able to truly develop thankful hearts in the middle of even the most intense heartache.
You are my hiding place;
you will protect me from trouble
and surround me with songs of deliverance.
-Psalm 32:7
