Faith under water

Earlier this year, I had a dream that my family was underwater. I could see each of my sons underwater, along with my husband. We had our hands huddled together like a team about to play a ball game. When I woke up, I sat quietly in the presence of the Lord. Whenever I dream, […]

I am Loved

Dear Lord, I give you thanks today and everyday for your unfailing love towards me. Your love reaches the very depths of my inner being. When you look down at me, you don’t see me as I see myself. You see me as whole and as accepted in Christ. You see me strong and capable […]

Healing Your Heart

Have you ever found yourself rehearsing the pain from your past? You may find yourself reliving painful events or recalling former conversations wishing you had said everything that was on your mind. We all process pain differently, but rehearsing painful memories from our past keeps us bound to what we so desperately wish to escape. […]

Be Free

When someone wrongs you, the process of forgiveness can be a painful and arduous one. You are left alone sifting through hurtful words and replaying the painful episodes of what you experienced.

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. […]

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 […]
