How Do I Be A Mary?

We often use the story of Martha and Mary to describe the doers (Martha) and the be-ers (Mary). Mary was found sitting at the feet of Jesus learning from him.  Martha called Jesus teacher but she wasn’t the one spending time at his feet learning. Mary was. Martha was...

How Do You Avoid Burnout?

How Do You Avoid Burnout?

Burnout. I think this is the most important revelation I’ve received during this season of my life. I hardly think I can do the subject justice in such a short post, but I’ll try! In August, I went to hear a man preach. He preached for two hours. Then he prayed for...

When Will The Loneliness End?

When Will The Loneliness End?

The end of month four of unemployment brought something I wasn’t expecting. I was lonely. You see, as an introvert, I like to recharge alone … but one of my strengths is “relator,” so I like to be in relationship too. What’s surprising is that I wasn’t lonely sooner...

Is It Responsible To Say No?

Is It Responsible To Say No?

If you’ve been following the series I’ve been writing about what God taught me during this season of unemployment, you’ve heard God speak to me about identity and faith. He addressed those two lessons in the first month. The next lesson took me three months to figure...

What Do You Want From Me?

What Do You Want From Me?

At the end of 2011, I was reading Ezekiel 2 and was so in awe of God. I said, “God, I want to see you like that! I’m jealous for an experience with you like that!” God replied, “Jill, that kind of thing comes with difficult assignments.” Reading on, I knew He meant...

Who Do You Say I Am?

In the month of April, a month after being laid off, I was able to attend our church’s Kairos weekend. It is a part of Freedom Ministries. Over two days, you learn to hear from God. You learn to ask God questions about lies you’ve believed and when they started....

Has It Been 6 Months Already?

It’s been six months this week—six months since I’ve been unemployed by man and employed by God. The transition between bosses has been easier than I thought it would be. I’ve been diligent to keep a journal because I didn’t want to forget the things I learned. I will...

My Miscarriage

My Miscarriage

I am single. I’ve had a miscarriage. I want to explain. Over the years I’ve had about 10. Each time you get pregnant, excitement fills your heart for what will become the fulfillment of your dreams. It’s so fun to dream and share it with others. Everyone seems to be...

Not Seeing Is Believing

When I started walking with God I believed he would do miracles. I read the Bible and saw so much evidence of God doing miracles it didn’t even cross my mind that God wouldn’t do them in my life or in the lives of those I loved. I couldn’t find any evidence of God NOT...

Building An Ark

Building An Ark

I’m so encouraged by the story of Noah and his ark building adventure.  As I read Genesis 6-7, I was struck by how God speaks and Noah didn’t respond in anyway.  He just obeyed. In fact, Genesis 6:22 says, “… he did all that God commanded him.” Noah didn’t question...

What Lions Taught Me About Contentment

What Lions Taught Me About Contentment

A week ago I sensed God wanted to talk to me about contentment. Considering my circumstances lately I thought this would be an encouraging time. Surely I was being content – in fact maybe too much so - since I’m very content to not work at the moment! But I was also a...

In Transition

Change and transition are two words that tend to scare people when it comes to their job.  But, those same words can be exciting too. Like when you’re getting married or having a baby. As a professional singer/dancer/actor for nearly 15 years, I changed jobs (new...
