God has a great sense of humor. I was sitting in quiet, trying to pray and I felt like I hit a wall. I couldn't hear His voice. Then I heard the expression, "He's dying to speak with you." I laughed out loud. He's not just "eager" to talk with us. He literally died so … Continue reading He’s dying to speak with you.
You are a Converser, not a Converter
God is pithy. He can transform one simple sentence into a powerhouse of truth that can change your life. I woke up hearing Him speak this phrase to me, "Daughter, you are a Converser, not a Converter." I'm a Converser - one who has conversations - one who converses with another about the love of … Continue reading You are a Converser, not a Converter
Remember Your Miracle
"Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided, and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and a wall … Continue reading Remember Your Miracle
‘Selah’ – first. ‘So that’ – second.
"May God be gracious to us and bless us and make His face shine upon us - Selah - so that Your ways may be known on earth, Your salvation among all nations." ~ Psalm 67:1-2 The phrase "so that" is one of the most underlined concepts in my Bible. I would be so excited … Continue reading ‘Selah’ – first. ‘So that’ – second.
Parenting is like candy canes at Christmas…
I have the best memories of searching for the full size candy canes my parents hid in our Christmas tree. Every year they appeared, peeking out from the branches, just waiting to be unwrapped. As if that wasn't enough, there was a little green sleigh that held the extras. It was always full, even after … Continue reading Parenting is like candy canes at Christmas…
We fail – into His arms
We fail. Don't need to say that twice for anyone to agree. We can go from terrible fear - to great faith - to epic failure - all in the blink of an eye. No one knew that better than Peter when Jesus called him to come out of the boat and walk on water. … Continue reading We fail – into His arms
But wait – MY net broke!?!
Isn't it just like the Bible to seem like it's presenting us with yet another contradiction? In John 21, God shows how He grants the capacity to handle the increase He is bringing. "...but even with so many fish, the net was not torn." They successfully harvested their catch using nothing but what they already had. … Continue reading But wait – MY net broke!?!
Your Net Won’t Break – Capacity
I believe God wants someone to know He will grant them the capacity to handle the increase He is bringing. In John 21, Jesus appeared to His disciples who had been fishing all night but caught nothing. Standing on the shore, He called out to them and told them to cast their net on the … Continue reading Your Net Won’t Break – Capacity
MORE than conquerors
Ever wonder about the word 'more' in Romans 8:37 "...we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us...?" Seems like an unnecessary addition to something so final. Merriam-Webster describes a conqueror as, "One who: wins a country in war, subdues or subjugates a people, or overcomes an adversary." Wins. Subdues. Overcomes. So why does it say … Continue reading MORE than conquerors
Don’t take my word for it
A plea from a pastor's heart that I stole to make my own... "The Christian must take special care that he do not suffer himself to be led away from the Word of God by the many manuals (blogs!) which in our days are seeing the light. These books will have this result - whenever … Continue reading Don’t take my word for it
