While watching a well-known minister over the weekend, I was enlightened. He was speaking on the point or moment of overflow. During his sermon, he used a simple coffee cup to make his point. It was as impactful as it was simple. The coffee cup sat empty on a table. Water began to drip into […]
When I begin to hear the same thing over and over again, I take notice. Recently it seems I am hearing two things from prophetic voices. I am hearing these same two things several times a day. This has caused me to take notice as I believe God is speaking to us. One thing I […]
I have said it before, but it bears repeating. I do not see a plethora of joy in the body of Christ. I thought of this today as I was pondering on the connection between hope and joy. The 1828 Webster’s Dictionary describes joy as the passion or emotion excited by the expectation of good. […]
Recently, I find myself walking through something that is not very pleasant. Although it was not pleasant, I had peace. Peace is always my guide. In the beginning, I talked to a few friends about this process. Then I noticed something. The more I talked about it, even with born again friends, the less peace […]
This morning God reminded me of a dream I once had. I believe it was 2016. I dreamt of a house, a huge house. Throughout the house I found hidden treasures. Today…I believe God is saying…it’s TIME…time to search out, dig, and find the treasures He has hidden for us! There are there. We must […]
We’ve been talking about building and sowing into our future the past couple days. I want to share with you something that has been on my heart. Something that ties into building and sowing into our future. That is, a strong foundation. Before building a house, there is one thing that must be completed. A […]
“The devil needs fear to operate in your life in the same way I need faith to operate in your life.” These are the words the Lord spoke to me early one morning. Truthfully, I didn’t think a lot of it. I thought “wow, that’s good!” But then I just went on about my day. […]
I love God connections! Connection is defined as; The act of joining or state of being joined; a state of being knit or fastened together; union by junction, by an intervening substance or medium, by dependence or relation. I have found in certain times of my life, God will connect me with someone who […]
Have you ever noticed that many times people go through the same things over and over again? I remember a few years back, I walked through a tremendous battle, just one year later, I found myself going through the exact same battle. The battle lasted several months. I became tired and weary of the fight […]
In the same way…you should be a light for others. Matthew 5:16 It was early one morning, I was driving to work. I turned on the radio to listen to the weather for the day. Instead I tuned in to a man sharing a story that would set the tone for my day. I just […]
A friend once told me a story that was quite profound. This story has remained with me for several years. I want to share it with you today. She shared with me about the men who play in the Super Bowl. She reminded me that the men who are on the winning team receive Super […]
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in your sight God. Psalm 19:14 I thought of this scripture as I had a conversation with a friend. I called her to chat for a moment. I asked what she was doing. She replied that she was pondering the words […]
“I never forget a seed.” These are words God spoke to me several years ago. It was a normal morning, like any other. I was working at the office. I had gone through the mail and I had a check in my hand. I laid it on Breanne’s desk to be deposited. As I laid […]
A few years ago, Breanne and her husband took the kids on a trip to Gatlinburg. They had a blast! Bryson was still very small at the time, it was all very exciting to him. One thing he had always wanted to do was fly. While on their trip, they found a place that […]
Today, I was thinking about an email I once received from a partner. She was asking for prayer of agreement for snow or abundant moisture, as she put it. She wrote something that jumped in my spirit and has stayed with me for years. Every now and then, like today, it comes to […]
Someone sent me a little photo the other day that I found precious. It was of a little girl, looking out into the distance. The words on it read, sometimes I like to sit and remember. I don’t know why exactly, but it spoke to me. A few days later, I was rummaging through some […]
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, […]
