I have not caught the bus in YEARS. Thank God for that! Before I had my own ride, I can remember hopping 2 or even 3 buses to hook up with an old love just to spend a few hours together and catch those same number of buses back home (why was I not thinking… Continue reading At The Bus Stop

The Call
As sure as I am that God is real, I’m just as certain that evil is real. When I was a sophomore in college, I was discussing my grade with my Economics Professor and somehow we got on the topic of faith. “Nicole, if God is real, how come bad things happen to good people?”. … Continue reading The Call
Comic Books & The Dance
I find myself in unknown territory. A path similar to those I’ve traveled before but one still unlike any other. This season is laced with richness and goodies hidden throughout the day. Christ has answered my request to make the ordinary a little more extraordinary. Yesterday after fellowship (church) I read a comic book to… Continue reading Comic Books & The Dance
In Good Company
Yesterday was a great day. I woke up early enough to get in a 2 mile run at the gym. The snow was deep but I was determined to make the drive and get my workout on. Instead of the treadmill, lately I’ve been running on the indoor track located on the 3rd floor of… Continue reading In Good Company
Bonhoeffer
I’ve been reading Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s biography written by Eric Metaxas. Bonhoeffer. Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy. It’s been very enjoyable thus far. I’m only a little more than a tenth of the way in (it’s a 600+ page book so I’m taking my time) but I find myself falling in love with the journey of Bonhoeffer. … Continue reading Bonhoeffer
The Good Life
The holidays are here! And I’ve found myself in a new place, doing new things, enjoying the newness of life. I decided to spend some time in Florida with friends and do something I hardly ever do, take a VACATION. This was my reward for finishing up my MBA this year and I’m so grateful… Continue reading The Good Life
Sowing for the Future
So this morning I really wanted a pair of socks to wear. By nature I prefer to be warm and toasty and get cold pretty easily (not a very good trait to have living in Ohio). And usually at work its freezing…so much so that it can often be colder inside the building than it… Continue reading Sowing for the Future
Our “Stuff”
A good friend of mine (one of my best friends) has been facing extreme resistance to her authority in the workplace, even to the point of outright disrespect. Being a minority, young, and female is challenging enough in the corporate world yet sadly she is facing this in ministry, so her opposition is coming from fellow… Continue reading Our “Stuff”
Dying to Self
I’m listening to Misty Edwards as she cries out her passion for God in “Garden”. I normally do not prefer her style of music although her songs do minister to me. I usually like them when Kim Walker sings them. I think today is different because the depth of Misty’s intimacy with God is what… Continue reading Dying to Self
Body Ministry
One of my most favorite things to do in the whole world is to minister to God’s body. Probably the thing I enjoy the most and am most passionate about is worship. But after that, I just love to minister to God’s beloved. On Sunday I was blessed to participate in corporate ministry to a… Continue reading Body Ministry
