9.23.2020 – “Hidden” Lessons

September 23, 2020

Have you ever wondered if God was “holding something back” from you? Or “holding you back” from something? The door won’t seem to open for you?

9.22.2020 -“Father, may Your will be done…”

September 22, 2020

As I was listening to a teaching message yesterday, I heard a quote that just jumped out at me and stuck with me… “…but if you’re not purged of that which would stop you from saying ‘yes” (to God)… the reason why God put you here will never happen. You have to be purged of… Read More 9.22.2020 -“Father, may Your will be done…”

9.21.2020 – Another Layer

September 21, 2020

I love it when the Lord leads me to my “archive” of old journals…. and He shows me which ones to take down from the shelf to browse through… When He does this, I know He’s going to reveal another layer that perhaps I’ve never seen before… and maybe I have seen it before, but… Read More 9.21.2020 – Another Layer

September 19, 2020

This morning, as I sat down with my Heavenly Father, I just began to share with Him, all the things that He already knows, of course 😌…. but I shared these things with Him from the deep places of my heart—a daughter who needed to sit down and talk with her Heavenly Father about a… Read More 9.19.2020 – Walking in Awe and Wonder

9.16.2020 – Discovering Him Through Relationship with Him

September 16, 2020

You know, I never was really interested in too much when I was learning in school.

September 13, 2020

Who knew I’d be writing so much about our home renovations this week… Guess I should have known, because so often the Lord teaches me through things I can see in the natural, and things I go through in life—He often teaches me about the “unseen” through what I can see. ✍🏻 In case you… Read More 9.13.2020 – Home Renovations Pt. 3

September 12, 2020

I used to think that God didn’t really actually (literally) speak to us…. …other than through what He wanted to show us in His Word, or perhaps through the message of a preacher… For a lot of my life I believed it was good to pray, to speak to God, but I didn’t really expect… Read More 9.12.2020 – Small Awakenings

September 9, 2020

I love how God can “infuse” us in such a way…. that we are “cleansed” and “nourished” at the same time… It’s His “infusion therapy”… I had a dream last night, and in the dream, I was at the Dentist for some kind of “issue” with my mouth, with my teeth.

Our Heavenly Father delivers us from so much more than we realize… But when we begin to start “waking up”—when we begin realizing what’s real and true… When we begin to be able to see and recognize His ways… The “patterns” He uses in our lives—so precisely specific—a language He designed and created so that… Read More 9.8.2020 – …You Planned the “Sweetest Victory!”

Today we’re starting on another small phase of home renovations—at least for the next week. 🏡 Today is “demo day”, at least for the bedroom.
