The Psalms came as music from David, the man after God’s own heart. He would sing psalms in good and bad times in His life. It was an outpouring of His raw emotion. As I was reading this beloved book of the bible, I felt the Holy Spirit say, “Sing them to me”. I was…
SPEAK LIFE
I know, I know, we are living in such a crazy day. If it’s not a terrorist attack, it’s a mass shooting or a hurricane or a flood. When it’s not a flood, it’s a devastating fire. We are being hit with one heartache after another and that’s not even mentioning the political division in…
MY ROLE MODEL
Who is your favorite person of the bible? I know so many lean toward David, for me the one that stands out most is Job. God says he was blameless and upright. He feared God and shunned evil. There was no one on earth like Him. When Satan came to test His faithfulness, he hit…
TIME AFTER TIME
God’s grace since the beginning of time amazes me. I know when reading the old testament it can seem full of wrath with a lack of mercy. Yet when reading Nehemiah 9, I see the God of many undeserved chances. He displayed a grace unlike any ever would. Our ancestors disobeyed God over and over,…
ALREADY WRITTEN
Much of our lives are spent planning. What we will do, where and when we will go? Sometimes we pray about our plans and desires, hoping that God will jump on board and make it all happen. I was that person most of my life as a strong, independent woman. Even though I have loved…
MARY IN A MARTHA WORLD
Are you like me and have trouble staying still? I can put my hands to something all day long. Even though I have that Holy Spirit craving, tugging at my heartstrings, often times the distractions win. As I was meditating on the passage of Mary and Martha, I once again hear Him say, “Do the…
THE H WORD
Hello, Loved Ones. As you know, the Holy Spirit pretty much writes my blog. I’m just the submitted pen he uses. So when he makes it clear that I am to write on tough, convicting topics, I must be obedient. Those that spend any time with me, know that I’m an optimist who loves to…
HEAL OUR LAND
Saturday’s news of Charlottesville hit me hard. I have barely slept since and it has stirred up this great burden to cry out for my beloved America. Growing up in the diverse Bay Area, California, I can not relate to any of this. I had Chinese, Black, Puerto Rican, and Hispanic best friends, since I was…
JESUS + NOTHING
It’s almost fall already! Where has the time gone? I hope you had a wonderful summer! While praying on what the Holy Spirit would have me write this week, He spoke what was my life message a few years ago. One I have not yet shared the blog. Jesus + Nothing. A few years ago,…
TAKE A MOMENT
Growing up a church girl, I’ve known all my life that Jesus died for my sins. Yet, the knowledge of that fact can become too common. The Sunday school stories too sweet. In reality, Jesus didn’t just die quickly for our sins. He was tortured, pierced, mocked, ridiculed by past followers and betrayed by close…
