Grounded

We recently purchased a colonial-style farmhouse surrounded by beautiful trees and landscape. Our house has such character that I’m constantly finding new features in the house that I haven’t noticed before. I am truly grateful for God’s blessing and even more in awe of the plans that He has for me and those who follow […]

Your Bold is Beautiful!

These words have been ringing in my spirit lately. Every time I am afraid or nervous to do something he’s asked me to do, I can hear the Holy Spirit whisper to me, “Your bold is beautiful.” These words not only give me comfort that God is with me, but they also ground me in […]

Victory

Have you ever woke up singing a song and wondered why? This happened to me. I recently woke up hearing a song in my spirit by Todd Dulaney called “Victory Belongs to Jesus.” The lyrics and melody stayed with me for most of the morning. I must have played the song at least three times. […]

Stay Connected

I miss seeing my family and friends. I miss going into work and seeing my co-workers. I miss my place of employment and providing support to the teachers, students, and families with whom I work. While I understand the importance of social distancing, I realize that I miss the comfort of people. Thankfully technology has […]

Still Waters

I have always loved the water. I love being in the water and staying near the water. Whenever we are planning a vacation, water must not only be in my view, but I have to have access to it. It just brings me such peace and relaxation. Today while quieting myself during a time of […]

Lost Without Him

A few months ago I had a dream about losing my oldest son in a crowded store. I literally recall feeling panicked in the dream as I scanned the store trying to find a clue as to where he went. Before I could make contact with him, the dream was over. Just like that, I […]

God Heals Our Hidden Wounds

When you’re a mom of three boys, you have to prepare yourself for rough play, skinned knees, and bruised elbows. My boys love all things outdoors. They love to ride bikes, climb trees, and have nerf-gun wars. During any one of these activities, someone is bound to fall and hurt themselves. They will scrape their […]

God Is Our Refuge

Today I listened to a sermon on prayer on my drive home. After that sermon, I felt the presence of the Lord and I began to repent for not spending enough time with God. I looked back through my years and what have come to know is that when I have spent quality time alone […]

Renew Your Mind

This past weekend I woke up singing a song that I used to sing a few years back. The words to the song went something like this: Worship, worship Jesus. Come into His presence with Thanksgiving (2x) And be renewed (2x) And be renewed in the presence of the Lord Repeat Worship, worship Jesus Come into the […]

The Real Enemy

Have you ever been in one of those seasons where every time you looked around something was going on? Maybe your going through one big issue like dealing with an ongoing illness or maybe it’s many little things in all areas of your life (marriage, job, health). Going through times like these can cause us […]
