I just returned yesterday, from a 10-day holy land study tour in Israel. What a trip! Every believer should experience what it was like to walk where Jesus and those before us walked. Every day, our foundation, the bible came to life. You can’t help but reflect in grateful admiration, the selfless journey of our…
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…
AMERICA’S CURE
As I reflect on the latest tragedy in Las Vegas this week, my heart breaks. Unfortunately, this type of senseless violence is becoming common. Growing up, there where no signs of mass shootings, terrorist attacks and school shootings until Columbine in 1999. I remember sitting in my house so emotional and in complete shock; it…
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…
LIVING FREE
We all have a past. The one where we were young and foolish, the unsurrendered one, the one full of lessons that made us who we are today. True transformation leads to a distaste for the pleasures of your past. You see, sin is what you do when your not satisfied with Christ. As he…
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…
