Let’s Get Our Hands Dirty

You ready? This is one doozy of a revelation. We have been in a dry spell  in Florida for about two months. This means high heat and humidity. Imagine walking outside and immediately dripping sweat. I have all kinds of beautifying to do for the wedding I spoke about last week, but it has been […]

There’s Gonna Be A Wedding

I am in the happy whirlwind of planning a wedding. I have done this many times before, but THIS time, it is for my own daughter! So many emotions swirl in my heart and head, but like every wedding I have been a part of, Jesus just takes my breath away.  I find myself stepping […]

A Startling Dream

I have an active night life— with Jesus. Wink. Sometimes it is dreams, sometimes it is songs or pictures. Literally some mornings I wake up and I know there has been a spiritual transaction in my spirit. I am just different. Other times, I wake up and have to take immediate action. This recent dream […]

Gloom or Glory

Let’s keep it real simple. Life is hard. Bad things happen. And. God is not only present, He is good and active. Do you hear me? He is actively working in every moment of your life. And, in the lives of those you love. Our Faithful God is fulfilling the purposes of His heart for […]

Lining Your Life Well

Oh Jesus captured my attention one morning. I read an email from  I Hear His Whisper and, whew, every time it’s right on time. One phrase exploded in my mind, like when you double-click on a link and images instantly open on your screen. Line your heart with gratitude. The authors went on to explain […]

Watch and Pray

My current faith journey always brings me back to the basics. Faith. Hope. Love. Trust. Surrender. I’m learning that walking with the Living God can mean incredible simplicity but not necessarily ease or comfort.  He is happy to make me cringe over my unbelief. Or lack of love.  I’m laughing because, just now, I literally […]

A Weighty Word About Belief

I got a word in the night recently that  I want to share. The Lord said, “Believing is not the same thing as Not Doubting.  He likened it to being Married is not the same thing as Not Divorcing. Many people live in the same house as legally bound people but that is not the […]

From Follow Me to Flow with Me

Every time you encounter God there is an upgrade available. The key word is, available. Holy Spirit always leads us into truth, and truth changes us and sets us free. Some encounters are teaching or cleansing. It may be letting go of an idol or counterfeit love. Some moments are just sheer bliss, His presence […]

Getting Rid of the Rags

I was driving home after church, I found myself praying for people in my circle, my community, my family. I reflected on the conflicts and struggles going on there. ‘It’s hard to be human,’ I exhaled as a silent prayer. Then this picture popped into my mind of a person taking off pieces of clothing. […]

The Marvel of God’s Mercy

There is a miracle of God’s mercy that we often overlook. Not only does it come fresh, full and renewed every single morning, but it also keeps us from destruction. His mercy is a healing balm available to us on the small scale of our individual lives and also on a global scale. That’s why […]
