I talked with you yesterday about preparing for the days ahead. I hope you took the article as a faith move and not a fear move. I believe God has given us all we need to not only survive but to thrive in the days ahead. He is a faithful God and He will keep […]
Let me begin this writing by saying ‘I am not a gloom and doom person.’ I have never been and by the grace of God, I will never be a gloom and doom person. That being said, last week when the Lord began to talk to me about preparing, I listened. A few days later, […]
Over the past couple weeks several things have come my way that are challenging. Personal things. This morning as I drove to an appointment, I was worshipping God and I began to weep and said ‘God, I need your help with all this.’ He, tenderly and gently reminded me of something He said to me […]
After reading several emails and letters over the weekend, I wanted to take a moment and encourage you in your giving. Several of you have been giving faithfully and generously from the beginning of the year. Many of you have sent in testimonies of harvest, some of you are still standing in faith for your […]
I found a definition of a phrase today and it made me stop and think of something God has recently shown me. This definition said expectations of others could be defined as planned disappointments. Now I am certainly not saying that all expectation is bad – quite the contrary. Expectation is good in most cases, […]
Recently I have received a number of emails from people who are still waiting to see the manifestation of their prayers. They want to know why it is not happening. While I can’t answer that question because I don’t know the fullness of your situation and what you do in your personal life, I do […]
Blessed is the nation whose Lord is God. (Psalm 33:12) I love Independence Day. I love what it stands for. I love this great nation that I am so blessed to live in. I thank God for America as I continue to have hope and look for a coming revival! I am thankful. I am […]
Today I was thinking about a writing I once did on hearts that beat with Gods. As I thought about this study, a scripture came to mind about King David. It is found in Acts 13:22. In the Message Bible it says; I’ve searched the land and found this David, son of Jesse. He’s a […]
This weekend, one of our partners sent me a dream the Lord led her to share with me. When I first read it, I knew God was talking to me. I printed the dream and began to meditate on it, but before I continue, allow me to share the dream with you: I hope this […]
I was praying for a friend this past weekend, as I did, I began to speak these words over her ‘Father, give her beauty for ashes, just as Your word promises.’ Immediately the Lord spoke to me and said ‘you can’t have beauty without ashes, and you can’t have ashes without fire.’ These words stopped […]
I was reading a scripture the other day in Mark 7, one you are probably familiar with. It is talking about the woman who came to Jesus and fell at his feet, asking him to heal her daughter. His response was; “Let the children be filled first, for it is not good to take the […]
Lately, God has been talking to me quite often about rest. He has continually confirmed what He is showing me about rest. Just yesterday I read a statement online that said ‘rest is a weapon given to us by God. The enemy hates it because he wants you stressed and occupied.’ It’s true, you simply […]
We were driving to a near-by city to pick up a water slide for Bryson’s birthday. I was the passenger that day as we drove along the road. I was looking out the window, enjoying the ride when I noticed a sign as we drove, it said ‘work ahead.’ We drove another mile or so […]
One morning, several years ago, I walked through Breanne’s office and looked over at Brailee’s first photo…the one from the ultra sound. As I did, I thought…Breanne needs to replace that with a real photo now that she has arrived, that was almost six years ago. I still remember it like it was yesterday. When […]
A few weeks ago I shared a dream I had about our inheritance. I know I was blessed by that dream and I believe many others were as well. One significant thing that happened in that dream was the revelation of hidden things and treasures to be revealed. You may recall, all throughout the dream […]
I think the following writing may very well be the most intimate thing I have ever shared. This was something I just recently found out and frankly, I had to sit on it for a week before I could ever share it. However, I felt it necessary to share. One day last week, I was […]
Monday morning I read an email from a friend, it had a word on it that caught my attention, at least a portion of it caught my attention….let me share an excerpt of that word with you. It’s a new day says the Father and you are now learning to operate with Me in a […]
Today as I drove up into Breanne’s yard to take the kids home, I thought of something that happened last year when I drove up into their driveway. I had gone to pick up Brailee, my granddaughter. She was going to ride with me to get her brother from school. Brailee was four at the […]
Today I was thinking about Jesse and a favorite saying of his. For those of you who don’t know, Jesse is my little brother who went to be with the Lord a few years ago. As I thought of him, I thought of a story I read about a year ago. Let me share this […]
I walked into my office to check on my daughter who was putting some orders into the computer. The orders were for the ThirtyOne party she was hosting. As I walked into the room, one of my cousins was talking to Breanne and my cousin was crying. Startled, I said ‘what’s wrong? What are you […]
