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

2.9.2021 – “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…”

January 25, 2021

“From whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.“—Ephesians 4:16 There’s a lot of distracting “self-destruction” trying to happen right now.

January 22, 2021

This morning the Lord took me on a journey through my 2019 and 2020 journals again… He’s showing me the dots connecting through some situations I went through. And He’s allowing me to see, He’s bring more of the “bigger picture” into view… I look at where I’m standing now, in “this time”… And I… Read More 1.22.2021 – “He makes things beautiful… in HIS time…and in HIS way.”

January 18, 2021

I came across this quote this morning… “God will let you walk into uncomfortable situations where all you can do is rely on Him. Don’t be anxious. He’s about to show you He is faithful.” And as I read this quote I felt such a witness— such a “connection”— a “spark in my heart”…from remembering… Read More 1.18.2021 – But He sees beyond…

12.30.2020 – “Conditioning” that leads to greater “Capacity”

December 30, 2020

How do we become “strengthened“? How do we become “seasoned?” How does a person become “conditioned” to actually be strong, courageous, and bold? Tough on the outside, and yet, still tender on the inside… Able to withstand hardship, persecution, uncertainty… While keeping a tender, humble, loving, and gentle heart. Hardships alone, have been known to… Read More 12.30.2020 – “Conditioning” that leads to greater “Capacity”

December 25, 2020

“And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.

Does “hope” feel impossible for your heart right now? Do you fear “getting your hopes up” because you’ve been wounded so deeply by disappointment?

I think it deeply pleases God when we ask Him things like, “Father? What do You think about this? What’s on Your heart? What are You thinking about? What are You dreaming about?
