Instead of praying, “God give me what I want,” I’m learning to pray “God, show me what YOU want, and change my heart until it wants the same thing.” “Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart (Ps 37:4.)”

I’ve been to El Paso many times and I’m just so sad for that community tonight. I know people say it’s not enough to send prayers. But I do believe there is power in prayer and a God Who is close to the broken-hearted. So I’m praying for El Paso and for this broken world.

This is an incredible moment that just took place. This bombing could have been deadly. But these police officers kept calm and helped residents evacuate. Listen to what this officer shares. Talk about perspective! “Good to see you” has a new meaning for me now... wow.

Satan uses shame to make us see ourselves through the lens of mistakes we’ve made and wrong we’ve done. But God in His mercy looks at us through the lens of what HE has done FOR us in the shape of a savior on a cross. Who else is thankful for that today?

This one time I took 2nd place in a karaoke contest at a place called Enchanted Castle that was a lot like Chuckie Cheese. This was the song that took me to the finals. Delaney was not impressed 😂. Happy 4th of July everyone!!!

So inspired by Jonny + Laura Grant. Jonny's a navy seal who was in a car accident & I'm humbled "Broken Things" is an encouragement to them.
