When my daughter was a teenager, the day before starting her freshman year of high school, she fractured her femur while playing on a trampoline in our neighbor's yard. It was also right before she was start dance lessons, which was a dream she was finally ready to fulfill. After a long night in the [...]

Faith Operates By Saying!
Jesus spoke to the wind and waves! We, too, are going to have to speak to EVERY SINGLE THING that is out of place in our lives! Faith comes by hearing, but it does not operate by hearing, it operates by SAYING!!! In other words, your miracle is in your mouth! Take some time each [...]
Am I a Fraud?
Am I a fraud? Has this question ever buzzed around your head like it has mine? Has that old spirit of condemnation tried to sink its teeth into you, too? This question has often tried to sidetrack me into doing nothing. Feeling unusable, thus drawing back into complacency. Can I still lay hands on others [...]
God is Not Afraid of Our Mess
Life is messy...people are messy...relationships are messy. Jesus came to redeem people from the messiest stuff. He's not intimidated by real life and we shouldn't be either. He's the only perfect one. Some people's messes may be more evident than others, but we are all a work in progress. Apathy says I see your mess. [...]
We Forgive Because We Have Been Forgiven
There are so many times in the Word where God tells us that we need to forgive. When we withhold forgiveness, it may seem like we are in control. In control of our feelings and the way we wish the other person felt. To hold something over them, to not release them, but really we [...]

When we hold onto unforgiveness we allow its bitterness to poison our own hearts and make us feel sick. But when we choose to forgive or to release [...]
The Path is BRIGHT!
Been thinking about this post for weeks now...not able to completely articulate what's stirring in my heart yet. For me, 2020 was a year filled with much pain, confusion, loss, heartache, anxiety, uncertainty, and revelation. And yet, I have felt the love of the Father like never before. His path is not always the easy [...]
Seek First to Understand
I truly love this quote. This is simply a practical application of the Biblical concept of 'preferring one another'. If we strive for this mindset in our approach to every relationship, it can be a win-win where neither person feels the need to act offensive or defensive. We can trust that the other person is [...]
Don’t Be Ashamed to Celebrate Your Spouse!
Women’s lives are so complex and their responsibilities vast. Some are wives, some are sisters, some are caregivers, some are moms, some stay at home to care for their families, some work at home while simultaneously caring for their children, some work outside the home and must balance caring for their children during the early [...]
Don’t Join the Team
Have you ever thought that when we are tempted to speak about others in a negative way we are not only stepping out of love but we are siding with the enemy? The enemy will ALWAYS whisper things to you about others because the Bible says he is the accuser of the brethren and usually [...]
