Are you ready to write that letter? Are you ready to step into more in your relationship with Jesus? Are you ready for your life to be about Him and who He has called you to be?

Read MoreIf you and I were sitting with a cup of coffee and chatting about where we are in our life, especially in relation to our purpose, would you say you feel stuck or that you feel free to pursue your purpose with passion? It’s a tough question, isn’t it? We want to declare we are free. We know the Bible tells us that …
Read MoreRecently, I found myself in need of a little restoration. Anybody else? Maybe we should start a television series about women who need to be restored. They are tired, hurt and a little damaged. Then they spend a few weeks getting a makeover and ta da they are vibrant, glowing and filled with purpose and passion.
Read MoreWhen we find ourselves stuck, bogged down in the mire, unable to let go and move forward – we quickly realize there is a problem – a really BIG problem. However, our swirling thoughts convince us that we have been mistreated, rejected, overlooked, dismissed, judged, and we are mad, resentful, hurt, devastated, sad, and quite frankly - sinking. Can we be honest…
Read MoreWho can relate to feeling stuck? It is terrible! I mean, we aren’t supposed to feel this way. We are believers. Being stuck is for those who don’t know Him and haven’t discovered that He is their hope. Stuck is for those who
Read MoreYes, I know it is almost February. Yes, I know everyone else has already started the new year – but not me. You see… I… well, I don’t even know what to say. I’ve been a little stuck… How about you?
Read MoreDo you know that YOU are loved lavishly? Can we be honest and admit that sometimes we just don’t get it? It is hard to comprehend that we are truly loved with an everlasting love. If we got it, then we would not be searching so desperately for love from others.
Read MoreHave you been set free or are you still held in bondage by those who hurt you - things that seem so unfair - people who disappoint you or by the need to please everyone around you? Are you striving for a crown? Are you living victoriously or are you feeling a bit defeated? (Click to read this post)
Read MoreWhen God shows you something or speaks into your situation, write it down. There will come a time when you need to re-visit that truth. What do you know to be true? Do you live your life as if you believe in that truth? Lord, help us!
Read MoreWhat if God is waiting for us to show up? What if it is not enough to just go through the motions, doing the minimum to mark it off the list? What if what He is asking is simple, but we are making it hard and missing out on much?
Read MoreGod desires alone time with us. Do we desire to be alone with Him or are we just too busy? And when we do get a few minutes - do we collapse and watch mindless television, text with friends and scroll social media or run sit at His feet? For those of us who know Jesus, we are not of this world but we sure live like we are most days, don’t we? So, I have a question for you. Do you spend time alone with God?
Read MoreYou see, I believe we are in an epidemic of busyness. It is all people talk about. Even people who really aren’t very busy declare that they are so busy. Everyone is saying it, buying into it. I believe it has become Satan’s favorite weapon in his arsenal. Busyness isolates…
Read MoreThere are so many aspects of pride that sometimes we cannot see it is a problem for us. It is hard to be vulnerable and look within to see if there is anything that would be displeasing to the Lord. It brings great discomfort when we realize that we must acknowledge that yes, there is indeed something that we need to recognize, release and repent. It may hurt our pride – but that is a…
Read MoreHave I told you the story about the lady I met in Israel? Well, I didn’t really meet her, but we connected. We connected and God used her to teach me and to change me and it only took minutes. It was amazing and I will never, ever forget this woman, her face, her smile, her hand… our connection.
Read MoreHave you ever stopped to think about the meaning of hope? We throw the word around like it is confetti. I sure hope I get to work on time. I hope my son hits the ball tonight. I hope these pants still fit. We use it to describe our wishful thinking – our desire for certain things to happen. It is our attempt to be optimistic and expect positive outcomes – even when we are setting ourselves up to fail by…
Read MoreQuick Question… Do you believe that your relationship status matters? Now that you have answered that - let me ask the question a different way. Do you believe your relationship status with Jesus matters? My guess is you answered, YES! It matters whether we have a relationship or not, for sure.
