December 4, 2020

Have you ever found yourself in the middle of something you never thought you’d be going through? Never saw it coming… It’s what “2020” has been for many of us.

11.20.2020 – “Don’t Be Afraid”

November 20, 2020

I love this song by Josh Garrels… Wanted to share it on here this morning… because it soothed and encouraged me. In a time that many hearts are troubled…. Here is a song to remind us… to encourage and uplift us—a soothing “balm” for hearts in a time of much discouragement. So take heart—keep going,… Read More 11.20.2020 – “Don’t Be Afraid”

11.14.2020 – “Lord, this ‘voice’…. how do You want me to use it?”

November 14, 2020

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? What is Your desire, God?” What’s Your will for this situation that I’m seeing/going through/experiencing?” It must bring Him so much joy… Read More 11.14.2020 – “Lord, this ‘voice’…. how do You want me to use it?”

11.11.2020 – Learning to let go of “my way”….

November 11, 2020

I’m realizing…. it’s sinking in…. …that when I decided to take God’s way, His path, His plan for my life… I can’t expect for things to go exactly as I’d like them to go, in the moment. I can’t expect for things to go as I’d prefer them to go, in the moment. Because you… Read More 11.11.2020 – Learning to let go of “my way”….

November 9, 2020

“Father, what’s Your will in this situation? What’s Your way?

11.6.2020 – Mistakes and “Almost Mistakes”

November 6, 2020

God has this way of allowing us to make certain kinds of mistakes… And then there are the “almost mistakes” He so miraculously puts a stop to before we mess up our lives “real good”… He so powerfully intervenes.

November 2, 2020

God so joyously works behind the scenes…. it’s like I can almost imagine the kind of smile He would have on His face… I can just imagine His knowing of what He has planned to do—such glorious plans—still so many secrets and surprises up His sleeves… and He has fashioned His plans in the most… Read More 11.2.2020 – “I’ve redeemed you.

10.23.2020 – Stay alert! Stand Firm.

October 23, 2020

I’m learning to be “on guard”… Not by guarding myself, not “guarded”…. but being on guard, in Him—dependent and confident in His power and strength and wisdom and ability…not my own.

October 18, 2020

The enemy usually works in very subtle ways… Usually, he doesn’t show up wearing his “red devil suit with pitchfork and pointy tail.” …he usually tries to fashion his work—his webs and schemes— in such a way, that they would seem almost exactly like something that would be of God….

August 21, 2020

A “portrait” is defined as: “a painting, photograph, sculpture, or other artistic representation of a person, in which the face and its expression is predominant.
