B.R.O.G.G. – Believe. Receive. Obey. Glorify God. Grow in Grace.
This past week, I started a journey. Actually, two journeys.
One as a dental patient—again. And one on some much-appreciated time away at a beloved place on the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
The dental journey is a long one, not unlike a path I’ve walked before. It’s costly, filled with multiple trips and procedures, and layered with unease and hope. I’m praying for bone structure to grow strong enough to hold an implant and crown—a small thing that feels so big in daily life. It will be a year of faith-filled, prayer-filled days… and yes, some seat-handle clenching, too!
The other journey this week is much shorter but just as restorative. Morning devotions and walks. Refreshing swims. Sand and ocean breezes. Glorious sunset views. And yes, prayers—and a quiet promise to return again soon.
As I reflected, I noticed similarities in both journeys:
• Cost—one financial, one intentional time and stillness.
• Prayer—both requiring communication with God.
• Faith—trusting in unseen outcomes.
• Hope and restoration—believing in renewal through the process.
Both journeys will help me grow stronger in my walk with Jesus. And that’s why I’ve decided:
I will be bold in sharing the radical love of God. I want my light to shine brightly for Him—even in the dentist chair, even on sandy shores, even in ordinary places in-between.
My life’s paths are uniquely woven into God’s purpose for me. Here’s the pattern I hold onto:
➡️ Believe in Christ.
➡️ Receive His radical love.
➡️ Obey His Word.
➡️ Glorify the Father
➡️ Grow in Grace
Friend, will you join me?
Will you believe, receive, obey, glorify God, and grow in grace in your own life’s journey?
It’s a simple step of faith. No cost to ask. No fee to receive. Just an open heart—and a promise that the best is yet to come.
