I was sitting at my desk, looking out my window one morning at an oak tree I had planted a few years ago. I began to think about it and how I had done nothing to the tree since I planted it. I thought about how it was once a little seed, while it was […]
Wednesday morning, while getting ready for my day, I turned on my television to listen to preaching. Every channel I turned to was saying the same thing and I was reminded of something God has said just a few weeks ago; listen for ‘the voice.’ However, I had heard this one thing so much that […]
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 five years ago. I still remember it like it was yesterday. When […]
A couple years ago an attack began on my body. In the beginning I confessed the word of God consistently. After a couple months, my body was extremely weak and it began to take a toll on my faith – now, I know that is not a good thing NOR is it a good confession, […]
Today I want to talk with you about something that has been on my mind for several days. I want to show you some things that God has been showing me about the blessings of obedience. First let me say, it’s important that we never feel that there is a particular formula necessary to seeing […]
One day, I was hanging up from a phone call that let me know something had been taken care of that I had tried to work out for a few weeks. The phone call brought much relief, because after trying to work it out myself I had become frustrated and was nearing angry – therefore […]
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 […]
We are going to continue one more day on the path we have been on this week. As I studied for yesterday’s teaching, God showed me something in His word that I want to share with you. Yesterday, I spoke of wholeness. Many of you may not be feeling whole today and if that […]
You may know from yesterday’s teaching that God is doing some deep work in my heart. From a personal perspective it has been a rough few days, however, I know that in the end, I will be a much better person for it. A friend called me this morning to talk about the writing ‘Remember […]
Today a friend made a statement about me that was very true. She said ‘I know you are a person who processes, and I do.’ If I hear a word from God, either from a minister or God Himself, I don’t often say much about it at first, I take time and process it; that […]
Today I was driving to run an errand, while contemplating my day. I knew I had a lot of things I needed to get done and I was trying to eliminate some of the things I needed to do, at least in my mind. I had to meet my niece and nephew to take them […]
After listening to the teaching by Jeff Jansen, I had spent the day meditating on the season we are in and where God is taking us, as His body. Later that night, God gave me a dream. In the dream, we were in a vehicle. I say we, because we were all there. It was […]
Yom Kippur began on September 22, at sundown. I was sitting in my office that afternoon when I received an email from The Elijah List with a word by Jeff Jansen. It was an audio and I don’t often take time to listen, but I was compelled to listen to this particular message. As I […]
I bet that title caught your attention! Allow me to explain. Yesterday I drove to my daughter’s house to pick up Brailee, my granddaughter. She was going to ride with me to get her brother from school. Brailee is four. When I pulled into her driveway she was in the yard, surrounded by chickens, and […]
A few days ago my Mom reminded me that summer was coming to an end and the first day of Fall was coming up. I began to think about seasons. For me, summer comes to an end when I complete my day of canning apples, applesauce and making apple jelly. I feel once that is […]
The other day I read a short story on facebook that touched me deeply. It was so profound to me because I could relate to it so well. We all go through things, hard and challenging seasons…how will we handle them? Let me share this story with you. A little girl had been shopping with […]
This morning I want to remind you of a few things the Bible says about the word of God. First of all, we find in Psalm 18:30 that the word of God is proven. Proven means it has been demonstrated or verified without doubt. There is NO doubt the word of God is truth and […]
My daughter, Breanne, loves animals. She always has. She has two birds, two cats, two rabbits, about 16 chickens and three dogs. She has a birthday coming up in a week or so, what do you think she wants for her birthday? Two miniature donkeys. That’s all she has talked about for a few weeks. […]
Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your […]
One day while Breanne and Brailee, my daughter and granddaughter, were visiting, I spotted something shiny in my carpet. I leaned over and picked it up to discover it was a stone out of Braielee’s boots. Brailee has always been a boot girl, she LOVES her boots and doesn’t like to wear anything else. I […]
