By Guest Blogger: Christina Bibb I live in Detroit, Michigan, and on June 25, our city was affected by unusually, heavy rain combined with the city pump not working.

Finding Rest in Christ

When Jesus was sleeping in the bottom of the boat, neither the winds nor therains interrupted His rest. Isn’t that amazing? How could Jesus’ sleep sodeeply in the middle of a violent storm, with dangerous waves and high winds?Notice the text did not say that he was awakened by the storm, but by hisdisciples because […]

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.

When we face difficult and challenging times in our lives, we must cling to God in prayer. God is our hope and the God of restoration. Psalms 34:18 reminds us that God is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. No matter what we are going through, we must choose […]

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 […]

Faith Over Fear

My husband recently competed in a weight lifting contest. When he told me the details about the contest, I was so excited for me and my boys to witness this event. When I asked my husband what time we had to leave, he informed me that he had to be at the event early, but […]

Are You Blocked?

Some time ago, I had a dream about the heart. In the dream I saw that there was a blockage which prevented the heart to fully function at full capacity. When I woke up, the Lord revealed that the purpose of that dream was about forgiveness. When we choose not to forgive others, we block […]

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 […]
