My God Is Big Enough

by Brandi Pillow In this season of waiting that Watson and I are currently navigating through, I'm thankful to see the roots of my faith grow deeper as well as having time-tested lessons reinforced. One of those is that my God is big enough to handle my emotions and I don't have to be afraid of being real with Him. So often, it feels like there is an expectation to "put o...

Best Laid Plans

by Brandi Pillow At the beginning of this year, I had a lot of plans. There were several concerts and events Watson and I had lined up throughout the spring and early summer that we were looking forward to. I had my usual list of school events to help plan and attend throughout the spring semester. I was anticipating attending my last on campus residency and workshop seri...

Near Sighted or Far Sighted

by Brandi Pillow I have terrible vision. Lee and Angela can both attest to that, they've seen the results of my eye exams! I happen to be very near sighted, so much so that I am totally dependent on my glasses and my feet barely hit the floor in the morning before I'm reaching for them. If things are up close, I'm kind of ok but from far away, everything is just a blur, l...

Tis the Season!

by Brandi Pillow Even though fall weather is just now gracing us with some much needed cooler temperatures and leaves are only starting to drift down from trees, it's already time to be thinking about Operation Christmas Child! And really, what better time of the year to get us focused on helping others and spreading the Gospel than autumn and the season of giving thanks?...

Unruly Sheep Seeks Patient Shepherd

by Brandi Pillow Richard's sermon from a couple of weeks ago has me examining the 23rd Psalm again. Psalm 23 is one of the first passages that many people learn as a memory verse as children, myself included. It is a passage that is referenced on many different occasions and in many different situations. I think that, because of this, it can be easy to lose sight of how w...

Operation Christmas Child

Matthew 19:14 "...but Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven." The leaves are starting to change, the days are getting shorter, the temperatures will hopefully be dropping soon and that can only mean one thing...it's time to start thinking about Christmas! Ok, maybe not Christmas itself yet. We...

Where Are You Leaving Your Fingerprints?

by Brandi Pillow Mark 12:31 "The second is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these." I have never felt called to the mission field, at least not in the "traditional" sense. I never imagined living in a foreign country, or felt the pull to serve in an inner city somewhere. Once I became a teacher, I saw the cl...

Be a Bird

"He will cover you with His feathers and under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart." Psalm 91:4 NIV We often speak about our lives in terms of seasons, and much as the summer is shifting into fall, my life is in a "season" of change as well. When I was younger, I was not a fan of change. I didn't like the idea of things being ...
