Manager’s Memo 3-13-23
Do you have any idea how much that God loves you? Like, without you doing anything? With an infant at home, we’ve discovered some beauty in the wee hours of the morning. Everything is quiet at 2 am. My husband Jerrod was reading to me from the book of Matthew and … here it is. Jesus is baptized and God said “This is my Beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.” Jerrod looked at me and asked, wh ...

Manager’s Memo 3-2-23
What yoke will you take on today? Yours which will be heavy? Or God’s yoke, which will be light. Don’t get me wrong, God leads us through hard things sometimes and we’ll wonder if we’re going to make it, like when I gave birth to my daughter, I literally resolved to die. But what’s crazy about the yoke of God’s verses mine, it’s like because someone is helping you carry your burdens. God is carryi ... Read More23February

Manager’s Memo 2-23-23
You can make a vegan burger look just like the real thing, but until you taste it, you can’t tell. I have one complicated piano piece memorized, but if you ask me to play anything else, I will have a deer in the headlights look. In the same way, we can desire good for others, give generously and avoid evil things and … not necessarily be following Christ. How do we determine whose side we ar ... Read More06February

Manager’s Memo 2-6-23
Waiting on God is hard. We struggle with waiting when we stop believing God has our best in mind. Years ago, my job was traveling around North Texas collecting money for the blind to have Christian materials. After being rejected at a business, I was super discouraged and crying in my car as I drove to the next place. On that drive, I randomly got a text from my brother Ryan, who I hadn’t heard fr ...

Manager’s Memo 1-23-23
Do we choose our destiny based on fear? Like “I don’t want to go to hell so (default) I’ll choose the happiness express to heaven instead”? I wish it were as simple as buying a ticket to a train but following Jesus is about not about choosing God out of fear, but because we love Him. When you truly realize just how much Jesus loves you, you can’t help but want to give your heart comple ... Read More17January

Manager’s Memo 1-17-23
You’ve been hurt and wounded. Maybe physically. Maybe emotionally by someone. At the time, experiencing hate hurts, but later … if you let it … grows into something completely different. Compassion for people who experienced the same thing. If you’ve experienced a miscarriage or physical abuse, if you let it … grows into a resolve to encourage and help others who are experiencing the same thing. G ... Read More02January

Manager’s Memo 12-2-23
Don’t you wish God would remove your problems right now to help you believe in Him? Promise you a good year before 2023 starts? So do I… But that’s putting the cart before the horse. So you can’t please God without faith. Having faith means we’ll have uncertainty in our lives. I use to count God faithful when he would REMOVE the uncertainty. Show me a sign and fix the problem FIRST instead ... Read More16December

Manager’s memo 12-16-22
I started listening to Christmas music in August at the beginning of my third trimester. I watched a bunch of Christmas movies in October after I gave birth to my daughter Aurora. Why? Because knowing Christmas was coming gave me comfort … during labor and postpartum blues. Maybe it’s not Christmas that gives you comfort as much as it is the CHRIST in Christmas all year long on 88.3 The Journey. T ... Read More07December

Manager’s Memo 12-6-22
Socks. Underwear and year end giving. They all have something in common. One warms the feet, another the body and one warms the heart. All are needed. God isn’t asking us to give our only Son like He did. He just says “Hey. I love you. If you love me, you can do it by loving each other.” In otherwords “God loves a cheerful giver”. The Bible says if you sow bountifully, you’ll reap bountifully! Our ... Read More22November
