When We Would Rather Wait but God Says Go

Posted on July 14, 2025July 11, 2025by Katherine Walden
Ambulance speeding down a street in the middle of the night.

Several years ago, I was a passenger in a friend’s car when we were hit at an intersection. I walked away with minor injuries—just some whiplash and a scar on my collarbone where the seatbelt caught me. My friend’s car didn’t make it. Thankfully, we did. Help arrived within seconds. An ambulance crew had witnessed […]

When It’s Most Difficult to Love, He Provides

Posted on November 13, 2024November 13, 2024by Katherine Walden
God's provision goes way beyond our needs, He provides us with supernatural grace to love and forgive.

1 John 3:22 says, “Whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him.” This is a wonderful biblical promise! However, it’s easy to take this verse out of context. We might want to claim it when we seek God’s provision, because we believe we meet the conditions of […]

How Not to Eat a Cherry Tomato

Posted on January 15, 2023January 15, 2023by Katherine Walden
What did my grandmother teach me about personal sacrifice through cherry tomatoes? Sometimes, love is what propels you through when love is all you have.

“God might want you to extend his love by offering to babysit for the single parent down the street. He might want you to prepare a hearty meal for that lonely older man who lost his wife — and to sit and visit with him while he eats. Who knows, he might even want you […]

In a World Gone Mad, Whose Fool Are You?

Posted on October 22, 2022October 23, 2022by Katherine Walden
What motivates you in a world that often appears to have gone mad? Is it selfish ambition, or is it the selfless pursuit of blessing God and others?

I was a child when I first watched the classic slapstick farce, “It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.”  The movie’s premise was simple. A dying man gave cryptic clues to a motley group of strangers. These clues led to a supposed vast fortune. Pursuing the jackpot led the gang across the deserts of Nevada […]

He wasn’t Just Another Homeless Guy

Posted on October 16, 2022October 16, 2022by Katherine Walden
A person's living conditions don't define them in God's eyes. Those we label homeless are God's kids, of great value. He knows them by name. © Sculpture by Timothy Schmalz - Homeless Jesus

I sat silently, stunned by a phone call where I was asked to pray for a mutual friend. Our friend was in intensive care with severe head trauma and was not expected to live. Test results showed that much of R’s brain no longer functioned. We prayed that his extended family would be able to […]

Be Responsive to the Soft Nudges of God

Posted on October 24, 2021October 24, 2021by Katherine Walden
As you read this, the name of a person might pop into your mind. Consider that nudge to be of God. Follow through and be an agent of God's blessing.

Hearing the voice of God is not all that difficult, but don’t despise the small beginnings. If you are willing to obey the wee small voice, He will take that as a sign that you are genuinely interested in what He has to say. Hearing His voice and not following through on His directives will […]
