A Part in His Play

April 19, 2021

What is it that we’ve believed… that we would think we want or need to be… “the same”…as everybody else. …when our God has so obviously created us to be wonderfully, and uniquely “different“… Purposefully, and precisely different. Multicolored multifaceted… Each a unique “color” of His heart—His beautiful personality. He is pure, “white light.” Perfect… Read More A Part in His Play

Living a Parable

April 15, 2021

If we didn’t have to live an imperfect life here on the earth… would we truly be able to grasp… to understand…to experience that God’s ways are higher than our ways? “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the… Read More Living a Parable

“Now I truly understand…”

April 2, 2021

Have you ever gone through something… And then you realize… that now you truly “understand” what it’s like to go through it, to experience it… the hardship, the trial, the struggle, the scary health situation, the feeling of unknown, the mental spiral, the very real panic attack, the challenge, the mistake, the failure, —whatever it… Read More “Now I truly understand…”

April 1, 2021

Have you ever felt as though… God led you up to a place in your life, and it’s like you can see the “doorway” into this thing, you can see this thing beginning to “unfold” in your life… And you’re excited, and you think you’re ready to run right through the door, but then God… Read More He knows what “seasons” we need, before we’re ready for our “Spring”…

He Restores My Soul

March 24, 2021

I’ve been pondering… 🍃 …we’re born— …and then we dive right into this sinful, broken world… …but then… we’re given an opportunity within this journey of life.

Something “Better” than a “Quick Fix”

March 18, 2021

I remember in the very, very beginning of when I started facing some things in my heart, before the Lord… When I came into the light… It was more like I came into a realization—I began to recognize—that ‘my way’ of living life just wasn’t working. And in that time, I remember describing, something that… Read More Something “Better” than a “Quick Fix”

3.7.2021 – “You—are on His Heart”

March 7, 2021

As I sat down at the table this morning, I heard and I felt the tenderness of this: “You—are on His heart.” Something within my heart realized that this truth— this “you“….goes “far beyond just me” this morning—especially as the Lord began leading me into specifics—specific people, specific situations that I saw.

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

When you think of the word “struggle“… Do you think of “weakness“? “Oh, so and so must be struggling….
