Seeds of Faith

“You don’t have enough faith,” Jesus told them. “I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it would move. Nothing would be impossible.” Matthew 17:20 How much faith do we need to see miracles in […]

When Hope is Hard

Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord.     Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly. Psalm 5:3 Miracles. Miracles of restoration. Miracles of purpose. That’s what has been on my mind for the last two months. I believe wholeheartedly God has laid these words on my heart for 2024. My mind […]

Speak the Name

Jesus. So often, I simply find myself crying out the name of Jesus. There are so many times I simply can’t find the words, but I know the name of Jesus has power. It has authority. It has peace. It is God with us. These last few months, I’ve been presented with some difficult situations […]

When We Obey God

Extraordinary acts of God begin with ordinary acts of obedience. Craig Groeschel These words (as I shared a few weeks ago) have rung through my mind for weeks now. As I’ve been sharing, God has called me to step out of my comfort zone, to trust Him with my future. For many years, I have […]

Do A Mighty Work, Lord

Do a mighty work in me, Lord, so you can do a mighty work through me. I will never forget falling to my knees and praying that very prayer. I’ll be honest. My pride prevented me from seeing how much work God needed to do in me before He could work through me. I was at the […]

2024: It’s All About Me

Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!     Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it. Psalm 139:14 You may be thinking my title is awfully self-centered. To think an entire year is all about me sounds so contrary to the message of the Bible. However, that’s my focus for 2024. Before you shut me […]

To New Beginnings

“Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:18-19 A new year is upon us. Let’s be honest: I […]

Extraordinary Acts of God

“Extraordinary acts of God often begin with ordinary acts of obedience.” Craig Groeschel Have you ever sensed God telling you to do something that in the human realm simply doesn’t make sense? A few months ago, my daughter called me late one night. She had just returned to college where she had a ton of […]

Slow Down!

“Slow down!!” It wasn’t an audible voice. If it had been, I probably wouldn’t have heard it. Why? Because I’ve been too busy. Too busy to hear God. Too busy to take care of myself. Too busy to enjoy life. Too busy just trying to keep all the plates spinning. It’s been a hard few […]

Give Thanks

Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Be thankful in all circumstances.  Have you ever really thought about that command? Be thankful in all circumstances. Not some. Not most. But all circumstances. I know last week was Thanksgiving here in the United States, but if […]
