Do you ever just get a song stuck in your head? I do. A lot. I remember one time when I had surgery, we went to see the Les Mis movie the day before since I was going to be recuperating for a bit. Needless to say, for the next three drug-induced days, my brain …
Call Me Bitter
I wrote this post years ago, but God reminded me of it this morning. This year has brought so many challenges and thrown many of us into a tailspin. I thought this was a good reminder that no matter what is lost or how difficult seasons are, God is the great Restorer. His intent for …
Prophetic Word: Come Out from under…
Good morning friends, Everything the Spirit has been saying to us lately is about our identity; he wants us to see ourselves as we truly are, not as victims to circumstances–or to 2020! You are not a victim. You are not subject to this world and what is happening in it. You are a Son of …
Joy makes you a little crazy
How are you feeling today, friends? It’s hard to even know what to think or how to feel as we observe all that is happening in the world. To be honest, it feels like the crap keeps hitting the fan and we are powerless to stop it, let alone clean it up! I hope that …
Your right-now assignment (and why 2020 still matters!)
Friends, This word has been sitting in my spirit for a few months, and I feel like today there is an important meaning for us. God has given each of us a unique and specific purpose. That’s why we are on the planet. That’s why we are in the kingdom. Because he has a plan …
Are you ready?
I have a question for you today. I feel like God is asking if we are ready for a new season. I know, our first response is probably a resounding YES! After the year we have endured, anything will be better than this, right? But this is a serious question. While this year has been …
No Time to Retreat
Hi friends, Well, I know it’s been a while. September was another long month and a bit of a reset for some things. But I’m really sensing that some of us are feeling we just can’t endure any longer and want all of this to just be over. In fact, you may even wish we …
God is good…even on Monday.
Mondays are highly overrated…so let’s just start today, shall we? In fact, let’s forget about yesterday, last week, this past month! And while we are at it, let’s leave behind any lingering disappointments from the weekend, your last fight with someone you love, your last bout of self-pity or fear, whatever has you feeling down or down on yourself this morning and just start fresh! I am all for that, how about you?
Sunshine & Rainbows?
Happy Friday friends! Can you believe we made it to Memorial Day weekend?!! You guys, it’s summer! Kids are finishing school. Life is beginning to breathe again. And the sun is shining. At the same time, I am hearing reports of people I know and care about being laid-off, companies closing, businesses and families struggling. …
God’s Pleased with You. Really.
Last week we talked about delighting in the Lord, and allowing ourselves to find joy and have fun even in the midst of our current situation. Today I felt like the Lord just wanted to delight in us…to remind us how pleased he is with our attention to him, how much joy he gets when …
