2.23.2021 – Getting to the Heart of the Matter

February 23, 2021

I woke up around 2:30 AM this morning… …half asleep… And words were just bursting and flowing into my heart—phrases and realizations… and I began hearing them “written out” in my mind. Rather unusual for me at that hour… And once I was able to wake up, fully, I jotted down a note in my… Read More 2.23.2021 – Getting to the Heart of the Matter

2.22.2021 – Finding the Treasure in Every Kind of Circumstance

February 22, 2021

What if… it’s ALL more than worth… going through the thing you’re going through… going through the thing that almost took you down almost took you out… (or so it seemed) the thing that feels— almost unbearable at times… What if… the lessons that are gained, the relationship that is enriched… from going “through“… the… Read More 2.22.2021 – Finding the Treasure in Every Kind of Circumstance

2.19.2021 – “Struggle” does not mean “Weakness”

February 19, 2021

When you think of the word “struggle“… Do you think of “weakness“? “Oh, so and so must be struggling…. I’m concerned that it’s not looking so good for them…” To be honest, I have thought of a time of “struggle” more in this way, at times.

February 17, 2021

There’s nothing quite like the moments—the encounters… …when God lets you know… …in the most precise, and personal way… That He has heard you. That He knows your heart. That He has heard your prayers. That He has heard your crying out. That He has heard your calls for help.

February 16, 2021

Yesterday was “hard”… …when it shouldn’t have been. Have you had days like that? Days when the battle is raging… …but mostly only in your mind… …mostly only because of worries or deep concerns that you didn’t even realize where hiding in there…and they came bursting out.

2.12.2021- The Way of The Gardener

February 12, 2021

As I was sitting here this morning, the plants hanging by my window caught my attention… And as I looked at the branches on one of my plants, I realized that many of the branches are unhealthy, twisted up, and out of control. They’ve lost their color— …leaves are brown and withered in some places…… Read More 2.12.2021- The Way of The Gardener

2.9.2021 – “You plotted evil against me, but God turned it into good…”

February 9, 2021

This morning the Lord led me to a verse, “As for you, you meant evil against me, but God turned it into good in order to bring about this present result, to save the lives of many people.” —Genesis 50:20 It’s funny because, even though I’ve not really been quoting this verse or referring to… Read More 2.9.2021 – “You plotted evil against me, but God turned it into good…”

February 2, 2021

Have you ever found yourself so desperately attempting to grasp for some kind of “understanding“… And then suddenly after a little while you realize that you’ve been reaching and striving so hard for this… “understanding“….

January 23, 2021

Yesterday, the enemy came at me again with these kinds of things… “…you’re too much. You just need to go away and settle down…” “…you’re acting foolish.” “…you’re acting nutty, you’re an embarrassment.” “…you don’t make sense.” “…people think you’re too ‘this’ and people think you’re too ‘that’…” “…just be quiet, nobody wants to hear… Read More 1.23.2021 – Mind Chatter

January 1, 2021

I have to admit, it’s rather strange for the year of 2020 to have already flown by… There are so many people who’ve just wanted “rid” of this year of 2020. I get it.
