Relentless Pursuit
It seems like a lifetime, and yet I remember it as if it was yesterday. So much happened in that moment of surrender, a moment that changed the entire trajectory of my life.
Seek First…
I am starting 2019 by seeking first His kingdom in prayer and fasting. Will you join me?
A Prayer for Christmas Hope
The thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices, For yonder brinks a new and glorious morn. Fall on your knees, O, hear the angel voices. O, night divine. O, night when Christ was born. O, night divine. O night, O night divine. Lord Jesus, as we celebrate the season of Christ’s birth, there’s nothing that […]

Prayer of Renewal
He fills my life with good things. My youth is renewed like the eagle’s! Psalm 103:5 Throughout scripture, God tells us He is the God of renewal. Renewed strength. Renewed energy. Renewed purpose. Renewed life. Here we are in the first week of 2018, and I don’t know about you but I am in […]
