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
I was reminded today of a song by Greg Long that came out around the time of 9/11 called In the Waiting. It says: Pain, The gift nobody longs for, still it comes And somehow leaves us stronger When it's gone away Pray I try to pray for Your will to be done But I... Continue Reading →

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?"

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.

As my husband drove me to work yesterday, he commented on a sign that said "QUICK DIVORCE." Those two words were followed by a telephone number. That was all the giant billboard said.
