Jesus loved to make a point using parables. He’s sneaky like that haha, the setup Jesus. He would share a parable, then point to you, with the goal of teaching you a lesson. I would go to say one of the hardest acts of living like Jesus, is to love the offendable. Jesus shares the…
OUR REFUGE
Happy New Year friends. I pray that you have started it off right by seeking the Lord’s direction above all. There is no greater fulfillment than to stay humbly obedient. I usually celebrate New Year’s eve feeling excited, this year I did not. Last year, was one of my most emotionally difficult. From our country…
NEW EVERYTHING
Hoping that you had a wonderful Christmas season celebrating the reason for the season. As the new year approaches, we tend to come up with new year resolutions such as losing weight and other goals. Most people chuckle at the ideas as unrealistic. It takes very intentional lifestyle changes to break old habits. I remember…
LIKE DAVID DID
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…
STRENGTH IN MEEKNESS
This word meekness has always been sort of like a dirty word to me. I’ve always perceived it as passive, insecure, timid, and quite frankly not me. You want me bold and fearless right God? But oh have things changed. In this process of pulling up roots, changing my heart, and molding me into His…
ANNIVERSARY EDITION
This week marks my one year anniversary edition co-authoring, Lens of Faith. The Holy Spirit is the Author. It’s hard to believe that it’s been an entire year sitting down every week and speaking His divine revelations. He made it clear that he would speak through me when I started out hesitant and I am…
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…
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…
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…
