We know we will not escape challenges in this given life. We shall expect spiritual warfare by deepening our understanding of His Word, drawing near to Him as then He will draw near to us. We are victors. Let us raise our banners high, with arms lifted toward heaven. No matter what mountain is before … Continue reading May We Continue to Quench Our Spiritual Thirst
When our boys were in grade school, I taught Junior Achievement, organized their classroom holiday parties, and poetry poured from my fingertips. Living water flowed into and through me. A willing vessel for Holy Spirit. Jesus is the one who was, who is, and who will return. He changes not. As I wrote this, God … Continue reading Crippled Creativity
My heart drops face-down on Holy ground when the face of an innocent child is set next to the word: Missing. Pray with me … Lord, There are a multitude of abducted, abused, deceived, trafficked, runaway children in our United States. As You Holy Spirit lifts these precious littles to Jesus, I stare into their … Continue reading Missing Children
It is for freedom that Christ set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by slavery (Galatians 5:1) Freedom is the sweet aroma of Christ hovering, covering you as you realize He has placed you in a wide open space. Your body tingles as it moves freely about. Your … Continue reading The Chains He Breaks, The Chains We Keep
As humans will reveal time and time again, we are impatient. We do not know long-suffering. “Healing, Lord, now as You healed the bleeding woman.” ”God, You provided manna for the Israelites, I need manna to pay my light bill.” ”Jesus, for how long will I pray for my son’s salvation?” Waiting is hard in … Continue reading In the Wait
As I sit on my screened-in porch, my gaze travels upward. His trees line the property. Mostly pine, yet others too. Vibrant green tree tops tower over our home, over me. I relish in fresh air. All day, His breezes have blessed our lungs. Here, in the evening, I imagine God blowing a Spirit-filled gust … Continue reading Wind:Heaven’s Breath
From the moment we gasp for air outside of our mama’s womb, we are declining physically. Some of us have athletic primes, sexual heights, or work-related strength feats. Regardless of marathons run, mountains climbed, trash collected, telephone poles climbed, two-three small children carried at once, our bodies will fail. For those reading who have endured … Continue reading Our Aging Bodies
I cannot help feel like an exile. Parenting young adults, one prodigal and one faithful, is largely unfamiliar. Our new home is a lovely log home but comes with unforeseen challenges in its care. Working in a grocery store at 55 is humbling. I am reminded often of Jesus washing our feet, as I wipe … Continue reading Seek Him with All Your Heart
Strikingly bold, the psalmist seeks God: Arise, Lord! Lift up Your hand, O God. Do not forget the helpless (Psalm 10:12) The psalmist could ingest any more wickedness. The beginning of this psalm evil is credited with prospering even though evil rejects Gods laws. Is that our faith as strong as the psalmist? Do we … Continue reading He Shall Rise Part 2
Glory, glory Hallelujah! May praise be on our lips as we study His Word and worship our Risen Savior. Our family has been living in our new home since end of December 2024. I have decided moving is not for the faint-hearted. Moving is listed among the top stressful life events. God gave us a … Continue reading He Shall Rise
