It was a quiet Saturday morning. My plan was to spend time with God and in the word. I walked into my kitchen, my mind drifted to the past few weeks. It has been a tough few weeks. Busy. It seems I have been putting out fires daily. I was ready for times of refreshing […]
This past weekend, I went by my daughter, Breanne’s, house to drop something off. While there, my granddaughter, Brailee, just had to show me something new she had learned. Her dad had just taught her to ride her bike without training wheels. This seemingly simple feat has taken her quite a long time. She was […]
The Poison of Unforgiveness I heard a minister make a statement that was so profound. He was talking about refusing to forgive someone. About wanting to hold a grudge against someone, when God says forgive. He said, “unforgiveness is like saying, I am going to drink this poison and kill them.” In other words, […]
I stood in the field, with sweat dripping down my face. As far as I could see, there were rows of tomatoes, ready to be picked. I had never seen anything like it. Row after row was filled with ripe tomatoes. But that wasn’t all. Besides the ripe and ready to pick tomatoes, […]
One morning I walked outside to check on my garden. Excitedly, I walked around to where the cantaloupes were planted. I knew they were almost ready. My mouth watered at the thought of a sweet tasting cantaloupe. To my surprise, the one I had been watching was gone. The one that was almost ready, […]
Do Not Settle As I was thinking and talking about the pressing season we are in, I could not help but think about something the Lord once said to me. It was many years ago, at a time when I was praying and asking God for very specific things. Several times, it appeared the prayers […]
I know you may not want to hear it, neither did I, however, after I meditated on this for a couple days, a friend reminded me of a teaching I had written on the month of Av. As I read it, I was reminded why it is so vital to press this month. The […]
I sighed as I slumped down in the passenger seat of my sister’s car. She had called and ask me to ride up the mountain with her to purchase vegetables. I thought it would be a pleasant ride after a busy week. The past week was another busy week of putting up harvested vegetables […]
Breakthrough has a sound. And, seasons have a sound. Think about it for a moment. Have you noticed the sounds of summer? Children playing outdoors. The sounds of boats on the water. The sounds of splashing water in swimming pools. Seasons have a sound. Christmas season has a sound. To me, it is the sound […]
Hello, I want to share a song with all of my friends who need a breakthrough. It doesn’t matter what area you need it in, finances, health, family, ministry…. the same God brings breakthrough in all areas. I was weary last week – then someone sent me a song…not just any song – a GOD […]
Tipping point – the point at which a series of small changes or incidents becomes significant enough to cause a larger and often unstoppable effect. It was early in the morning. I was driving to my uncle’s farm, about 20 minutes away. I was worshipping God as I drove, thinking on His goodness. As I […]
Mark 11:23-24 is a familiar scripture to most of us. 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 says. Therefore, I say […]
Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance? Romans 2:4 I have had this scripture on my mind today. It’s the goodness of God that leads man to repentance. He is a good, good Father. As I have been meditating […]
In 2 Kings, we find a widow woman who is struggling during a time of famine. The prophet comes to her house and asks her a question; “what do you have in your house?” The woman responds by saying she has a bottle of oil and that is all she has. He tells her to […]
As I drove up the mountain, my thoughts were on the season we are in, both in the natural and spiritually. God has been continually talking to me about harvest. I do believe we are in the midst of harvest. I believe it is here now. As I was pondering this truth, I heard something in […]
I read a short word the other day by Marsha Burns that I absolutely love. I want to explain why, but first, let me share her short word with you: When your forward momentum seems to have stalled, be still. Flailing around will only set you back. There is no need to worry that you […]
As long as Uzziah sought the Lord, God made him to prosper. 2 Chronicles 26:5 This scripture has always captured my attention. As long as he sought the Lord, God made him to prosper. This truth is repeated in several other verses. Let’s look at a couple of those. O taste and see that the […]
I woke up to a text from a friend. She was talking about the prayer initiative we were beginning that day. To pray for our leaders and our nation. As I read her text, the Lord spoke to me and said, “where there is unity, there is a commanded blessing of life evermore.” I am […]
I walked into a local produce market with my daughter today. We visit weekly because they carry her farm fresh eggs. They always have something new. Today was no different. As we walked around looking at new additions, we noticed t-shirts. They had designed and printed t-shirts with their logo and name on them. Breanne […]
And though one may be overpowered, two can resist. Moreover, a cord of three strands is not quickly broken. Eccl. 4:12 A three-fold cord is not easily broken. That is the scripture that came to mind as I listened to a message over the weekend. The man of God was saying, “there is a time […]
