Last week, I drove down to San Diego Children's Hospital and sat in the parking lot so I could tell you my good news.

Thirteen years ago God asked me to be his feet. Six years after that God  asked me to be his hands. For ten  years I watched as everyone else excelled, and I stayed at home. Stuck.  The only thing I wasn't stuck were my quiet times. Daily Devotionals became my sanctuary as the skin peeled off my face, feet, and hands. Then a miracle happened. The Word healed me.

I am so honored to be past my humiliating and horrified days of living without any skin on my (DISCLAIMER: Do not click if you have a queasy stomach) Fingers, Hands, Feet.

It is my pleasure to let you know that I have the opportunity help you engage, enjoy, and embrace the New Living Translation! Tyndale is relaunching their NLT blog soon and........I GET TO WRITE DAILY DEVOTIONALS FOR THE SAME TRANSLATION THAT SAVED MY LIFE!


Hosea 6:1-3, 1 Peter 5:10, Revelation 21:5-7 NLT

Come, let us return to the Lord. He  has torn us to pieces; now he will heal us. He has  injured us; now he will bandage our wounds. In just a short time he will  restore us, so that we may live in his presence. Oh, that we might know the Lord! Let us press on  to know him. He will respond to us as surely as the arrival of  dawn or the coming of rains in early spring.

In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means  of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will  restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm  foundation.

And the one sitting on the throne said, “Look, I am making everything  new!” And then he said to me, “Write this down, for what I tell you is  trustworthy and true.” And he also said, “It is finished! I am the Alpha and the Omega—the  Beginning and the End. To all who are thirsty I will give freely from  the springs of the water of life. All who are victorious will inherit all these  blessings, and I will be their God, and they will be my children.
