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...
If you are going to err, always err on the side of love. This was instruction I was given many years ago when I was seeking counsel about a certain situation. This counsel has come to mind many times over the years. Most recently, yesterday when a friend asked me...

Today I was thinking about something that happened last year, I may have shared this with you before, but I feel led to share it again today. Last year, I sat at the church watching Bryson and Brailee perform their final play of the school year. I watched as Bryson...
Is your heart and mind at rest today? I heard a statement that pricked my heart a few days ago. The statement was ‘the evidence of your belief is rest.’ This minister was saying ‘if you are truly in faith, you will be at rest in your mind and in...
