This year has been a year where God has led me to work on discipline and self-control. As the year started, I was diligent in seeking God and exercising discipline and self-control. As I ended my fast and went back to "regular living" I slacked off, and eventually found myself down a path I had never intended... Continue Reading →
In The Potter’s Hands
Isaiah 64:8 But now, O Lord, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our potter; And all we are the work of Your hand. I often hear this verse in the context of "God's still working on me." We are clay in the Potter's Hand. He is shaping us and molding us,... Continue Reading →
The Journey of Grace
There is a song by Big Daddy Weave called I am Redeemed. It is a powerful song that has ministered to me every time I heard it over the past few months. Wednesday, driving in my car, I had a revelation that I really am redeemed, it was if Christ was sitting in the car... Continue Reading →

In The Waiting

Don’t Be Weary
Jeremiah 12:5 "If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, in which you trusted, they wearied you, then how will you do in the jungle of the Jordan?" I realized today as I read this scripture, that... Continue Reading →
Broken
People tell me that I am strong and positive. Honestly, I am weak, but the Joy of the Lord is my strength. My world can be crashing down around me, and only those with a discerning spirit will know the hurt I feel and the burdens I am bearing. I don't know when I started... Continue Reading →
A time….
Not sure where the time has went. As I look back on the past year, I see a time of change. It started with my daughter finishing high school and moving out on her own. It was an unhealthy relationship that she moved in to, but I praise God that she is on the other side... Continue Reading →
Lessons of Destruction in the Aftermath
In the days following the May 22, 2011 tornado in Joplin, I spent hours driving back and forth searching for God to reveal Himself to me in the midst of the aftermath. He showed me many things, not really about the storm, but about life during those long drives. The first was about the destruction... Continue Reading →
