Martha to Mary

We’ve had some really interesting messages at church for the last couple of months on Wednesday nights. Our church has gone through a season of upheaval and it usually seems that what is going on at church often parallels what is going on in my own life. Read the rest of this entry »

“Your enemy wants to shake your confidence so as to break your focus. Know that there’s a prophetic resiliency within you that will empower you to recover your focus, your equilibrium and your energy. When you’re processing your way thru a blow-back recognize that you were built to bounce-back. Your enemy may have taken his best shot but he’s about to discover that he hasn’t seen the last of you.”

~ Howard Bass

There’s been a whole lotta shaking goin’ on!

The first part of this year has been a season of major shifting in my life. I sometimes envision my life as this giant chess board and imagine God strategically arranging pieces. Now, I don’t know the first thing about chess, so from my viewpoint, not a whole lot of it makes sense because I don’t really get why it matters that certain pieces are in certain positions. But apparently, it matters very much! Read the rest of this entry »

I received this word in my email this morning and it speaks to me so much. I believe that when God gives someone a prophetic word, He will make sure that word goes forth to reach the specific people that need to receive and embrace that word. I believe that God sent me this message today because it addresses many of my specific prayers to him in recent weeks. Read the rest of this entry »

The other night, I had a profound dream that has stuck with me for the last two days as I try and wrap my head around what it means. It is not meant to be a public dream other than a very direct question from my grandfather from the vantage point of heaven… Read the rest of this entry »

God is calling us away from the delusion of thinking we always need to be comfortable. So many people fall away from Him as soon as they realize this reality. Yes, God is our peace, joy, strength, and all those wonderful things He promised to be to us. But have you ever really pondered WHY He needs to be all those things for us? Because we will be hard-pressed on every side! Read the rest of this entry »

It’s been a rough few weeks, but I sense that I am coming out of the dark and into the light. I have come to this blog numerous times over the last couple of weeks, aching to write about what’s been going on, but unable to get the words out. That white screen just keeps staring back at me, almost as if to mock me for thinking I have anything worth talking about. Read the rest of this entry »

I don’t have much to say today other than this: When things are going crazy in your world, the only thing you can do, the thing you MUST DO, is get in His presence.

The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Exodus 33:14 Read the rest of this entry »

I recently subscribed to Dictionary.com’s Word of the Day. As a person who loves reading and all things word-related, I couldn’t believe I hadn’t discovered it sooner! Next to the Bible, I’d say my favorite reference book is a good old dictionary. I love looking up the meaning of words. Not just ones I’m unfamiliar with when I encounter them, but also words I think I know the meaning of. It’s interesting how often I’m enlightened by the deeper meaning of certain words that I thought I already knew. Read the rest of this entry »

I came across this poem by Helen Steiner Rice that seemed to perfectly fit my world at the moment. It encourages me to have hope for a brighter future to come soon… Read the rest of this entry »
