We’ve all had lessons learned the hard way, especially as young teens. We made foolish decisions, some might have had a greater consequence than others. This leads me to the life of Joseph. What an awesome story of God’s faithfulness even in our weakness. His life was such proof that God keeps His promises no…
TO REMEMBER
I thought this week we would enjoy a Memorial Day speech from the late, great Billy Graham. “Three weeks ago, I had the privilege of spending an afternoon with President Eisenhower at Gettysburg. He took me on a personally conducted tour of the Battlefield of Gettysburg, explaining the strategy used by both the Confederate and…
QUENCHABLE THIRST
This week has brought a heatwave and it’s important to keep hydrated. If you haven’t had enough to drink then your body can give out unexpectedly, which is also a spiritual lesson. As I was diving into John 4, the telling of the Samaritan women, I got a revelation. It’s so funny to me how…
CELEBRATING MAMAS
Here’s hoping you had the best Mothers Day weekend by either celebrating that special mama or remembering her. The older I get, the more amazed I am by the unconditional sacrifice of a mother. That is probably why I used to shout out and joke about not wanting to have kids. As the oldest of…
PROTECTED NOT REJECTED
Here I am being rocked by 212 Conference at Redemption San Jose on the last conference day. In this session, God gave me a mind-blowing revelation regarding rejection. Rejection has been a sensitive area in my life that has caused me to carry an offense. Being the popular girl growing up, I was unfamiliar with…
LIKE CHILDREN
As I landed in Cali this week, my first stop was spending time with my nieces. My next stop was visiting my friend’s young son. Being surrounded by children and that innocence is so sweet. And although every child is different they all have these same traits in common. They trust their parents and fully…
GOOD GOOD FRIDAY
You may ask yourself, why is today called “good” Friday? It’s the day our Savior suffered and died for us. It’s a somber day. A day we reflect and give gratitude for the gift that we can never repay. It’s like saying it’s good when we are tormented or go through pain. But what really…
SMALL TO GREAT
There are so many things that I love about God. One of them is how He takes the hidden and humble seemingly insignificant and reveals His bigger than life plan. As I dive into the story of Samuel anointing Saul, I can’t help but smile. It was just another boring day in the village, when…
COMPASSION BEYOND BELIEF
April is already here, this year is moving along too quickly. We are in a culture where everything moves quickly. But thank God His retribution does not. I literally sit here blown away by Nehemiah 9. The Israelites took advantage of God’s promise of forgiveness and grace over and over. They would turn their backs…
FRESH SEASON
Spring is in the air! Just yesterday my friend and I discovered the daffodil fields and then today, I photographed cherry blossoms. Winter is on it’s last run and I feel the shift. The Cinderella birds are singing to me each morning. The blooms are awakening, The sun is appearing. I have been mesmerized this…
