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…
HE KNOWS BEST
Just this past weekend, I was blessed to visit for the first time, the gorgeous island of Nantucket. It took my breath away to say the least. From the dreamy harbor filled with boats to the rich purple, pink and blue hydrangeas that graced each home and street. Surrounding this island full of hidden treasure…
IT’S NOT FAIR
Just yesterday, I was having coffee with a friend at our favorite spot, Sola. I just returned from my trip to California and she just returned from a summer tour of Europe. I was sharing with her that I experienced one of the most powerful nights, on one particular night of my trip. While visiting…
PROMISE KEEPER
One of the most comforting facts of life is that God never lies. In fact, it is impossible for Him to lie. Hebrews 6:18 Just let that sink in for a moment. It is impossible for God to lie. What comfort! In a world where we face disappointments, dishonest people and unreliable circumstances, we can…
