These past few weeks have been a time of sowing seeds for me personally and for the ministry. Today, I was sitting at my desk pondering this and asking God why I was being led to sow so many different seeds recently. Usually, at least in my own life, when I go through a time […]
Many of us are not where we wish to be in various aspects of our lives. This could be related to our health, finances, career, or relationships. We may be hoping for positive changes in the near future. Can you relate to this truth in your life right now? The Apostle Paul said, “Brethren, I […]
I was sitting in the small waiting room at the chiropractor’s office, waiting for my appointment. I could hear the muffled conversation of the person ahead of me in the room with the doctor. While I wasn’t trying to eavesdrop, I couldn’t help but hear what he said to his patient. He said, “I know […]
One day last week, I heard of a financial need for an upcoming ladies’ conference. As I listened, my first thought was, “I can meet that need.” Later that day, we dropped off a check to take care of the need – I thought no more about it until I received a note from the […]
Several weeks ago, I had a dream about harvest. An unusual harvest. Last week, once again, my night was filled with scenes of a unique harvest. The scene from the dream began at my home. In my home, was a visitor – a guest. She asked me to take her to see my garden. We […]
Today, I was thinking about a time when my grandson, Bryson, learned to play the guitar. After a few weeks, he began to teach his Mom to play, and eventually, his Mom taught his sister to play. Many days, when they came to visit, they would bring their guitars and play while they were there. […]
Early one morning, someone shared a video with me of thousands worshipping amid the threat of attack in Jerusalem. It was an impactful video – it captured my heart in that moment. It also made me examine my heart and ask a few questions, questions that I believe are crucial for our growth. The most […]
Today, I was reminded of a day Breanne helped Brailee with a school lesson on roots and their purposes. While sharing this teaching with me, Breanne made a statement that has stayed with me: “You can’t have a tree without roots.” A simple statement: I know. However, it is profound. We must have deep spiritual […]
I often teach about the principles of sowing and reaping. I believe firmly in this principle; I have lived by it most of my adult life. Galatians 6:7-9 says, “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” Genesis 8:22 says, “As long as the earth endures, […]
It was one-day last week. I was going about my day. Thing after thing came my way to cause distractions. Out of my spirit, I heard myself say, “I will not be controlled by distractions!” Distraction is defined in the Webster’s 1828 Dictionary as; The act of distracting; a drawing apart; separation. Confusion from a […]
I was talking with a friend on the phone one night. I was sharing with her some seemingly small but wonderful things that had happened the week before. I told her, “I was not expecting these things at all!” When I made that statement, the Lord spoke to my heart and said, “Then…get your expectation […]
This past week, I was reading an article when one particular scripture jumped out at me—that is how it often happens to me. I couldn’t even tell you what the article was about—I believe God wanted me to see that one verse. By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore […]
Breanne shared a story this weekend that blessed my heart and spoke to my spirit. I want to share it with you today. My granddaughter, Brailee, is thirteen. She loves horses and often rides in Horse Shows in our area and beyond. Earlier this year, she had a bad experience. She was thrown from a […]
Fear. Regret. Bitterness. Depression. Anger. Grief. We all have times in our life when we deal with these kinds of emotions. They may come through challenging seasons such as discord in the marriage, a wayward child, betrayal, health issues or even the loss of a loved one. If not dealt with, these types of seasons […]
Over the weekend, I was studying the names of God. Whenever I study this subject, I can’t help but think of a church I once visited decades ago. I know I have shared this story before but allow me to share it again quickly. My mom and I walked into the back of the church […]
I never tire of what God teaches me and reminds me of during planting season. One day, I was preparing some Kennebec potatoes to put in the garden. I sat down, cutting them in quarters or halves, making sure there were several eyes present on each cutting. That is what the farmers who came before […]
Today, I want to share a word with you from Wanda Alger, enjoy! For those who have felt under constant attack and are questioning the status of your warfare, know that the seeming setbacks and system failures are actually indicators of your soon and coming victory! The principalities and powers attacking this nation are trembling. […]
Mark 11:23-24 is probably one of the most well-known passages of scriptures in the Bible. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he […]
This morning, as I walked into the prayer room to record the weekly audio partner prayer, my mind was going over everything I needed to do this week. As I was thinking about what needed to be accomplished at this time, the Lord arrested my thoughts. He stopped me in my tracks as He spoke […]
Ecclesiastes 3:7 declares, “there is a time to keep silent and a time to speak.” For most of us, speaking up is not a problem; however, being quiet can be a struggle, especially when you feel you have an opinion on the subject. Most of us have an opinion, don’t we? I find it interesting […]
