And from thence He arose, and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. And He entered into a house, and would have no man know it; and He could not be hid. But straightway a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of Him, came and fell down at His... Continue Reading →
Legalistic. When I think of religion, that is the first word that comes to mind. As much as I know that Christianity is not a religion, but is a relationship, I still tend to be legalistic in certain things. I see things as a policy in God's Word rather than an expression of His love... Continue Reading →
Daisies. The picture was so clear in my mind. I am not a flower type girl. Flowers are beautiful to look at, some have a pleasing fragrant; I have never understood them outside of their natural setting though. So I had to look up what was so special about daisies that made them my focus.... Continue Reading →
The old way, with laws etched in stone, led to death, though it began with such glory that the people of Israel could not bear to look at Moses’ face. For his face shone with the glory of God, even though the brightness was already fading away. Shouldn’t we expect far greater glory under the... Continue Reading →

Christ gathers the wheat, those that are reproducing and those who are feeding others. Both purposes cause growth.... Continue Reading →
I love being in the presence of God, whether it is in my prayet closet, my car, in corporate church service, or while going about my daily life. Knowing that He is near, and being aware of His presnece changes my perspective. I recently read a book about the revival on Azusa Street and testimonies... Continue Reading →
I love long drives. The open road, scenic picturesque views, the journey to reach an expected destination. My mind eventually clears and I can think on things that really matter as I leave my everyday life behind. Today I'm riding, so it lets me also pause to put fingers to the keyboard. As I look...

I often fail in my purpose out of fear, but when fear passes, what I regret is the missed opportunities. God is faithful to His promises, I am called to stand in faith for what He is asking of me and faithfully obey, even when I don't understand. I read the Scriptures, and I... Continue Reading →
