This past year has taken more out of us than we may realize. Many of us are emotionally drained, spiritually depleted and running on fumes. Pandemic fatigue is a real thing. Physiological stress is a real thing. Fight or flight is a very real thing…and for a lot of us, it’s been stuck in the …
Mother, Grandmother, Friend. It’s time to ARISE in the fullness of who you are in Jesus–and let your only identity be in him. For truly he is your only source, your only way, your only life. We cannot afford to let anything else take his place in our hearts or lives. Our lives must be …
Most of us were just going along living life when 2020 hit. It seems now, we were maybe even a bit unprepared to face such a battle.These are unusual times. (Yeah, that is an understatement!)

God is bringing us full-circle today. I don’t know if you remember when we started connecting on a regular basis just over a year ago? The first email I sent was based on Proverbs 4 and stressed the importance of guarding our hearts in these uncertain times. I feel like God has really worked with …
I found myself watching a video on FB the other day. I’m not sure how it happened, really. I opened my phone to do something important and a few minutes later I was watching a man rescue a cat who was mired in a mud pit and couldn’t get free. Thankfully, this man stopped when …
Good morning, friends! I’m excited to share with you today and to hear the Father’s heart together. As I mentioned last week, I’m sensing God has some specific, strategic things for us this month.
