Praise to our amazing, living, breathing, healing, and forgiving God of infinite mercy, grace, and love—our Father, our Lord Jesus Christ, and our beautiful Holy Spirit, who loves me and loves us all.
I live in Bombay, India, with my wonderful husband, Cal. By God’s grace, we continue to spiritually mentor and counsel a vibrant group of young adults, lead worship, and teach and preach the Word of God. Every time I pour out in service or love, I find myself blessed all the more—truly, His abundance never runs dry.
This blog, started back in 2000 (that’s 25 years ago now, wow!) has been on such a journey: from being my personal space, to becoming an online magazine with contributors from around the world in 2008, and now back again to being my personal blog.
In this year, 2025, I’m carrying forward the desire I had to write consistently and faithfully. Even when goals slip, I’ve learned that with God, no effort is wasted, and no vision is too small or too late. What may feel impossible for me is always possible with Him.
I pray that the words and insights shared here will continue to bless every heart that reads them.
