Do you know what I’ve been doing lately? Witnessing. Yeah, that’s right. I’ve been talking to people, usually complete strangers, about Jesus. I also have been praying with them…out loud…in public. WAIT! Don’t click that mouse! I know this is an uncomfortable topic, but hear me out. I’m not going to make you do anything.Continue reading “Breaking the Silence”

Over the past year or so, God has really pushed me out of my comfort zone by asking me to step out and speak more boldly than I’m naturally comfortable with. He’s having me talk to strangers and pray for people I don’t know. This may seem like small potatoes to those of you whoContinue reading “Give Me Utterance”

As I rushed about, trying to get ready for work on time, I began to feel very irritated by my new haircut. This new “do” requires a bit of work that I’m just not used to. My once long locks are now too short to pull the old “ponytail” trick, so each day, until thisContinue reading “What Lies Beneath”

I had been working out at the gym for more than two years, and as hard as that was, it was something I actually grew to love. Believe it or not, I looked forward to going and working my tail off! I felt so much better and my endurance increased dramatically. But at some point,Continue reading “Plateaus”

Worship music played on the car radio and I sang along just before turning the volume down to pray. I started with, “Thank you for this day,”–the way I often do–however today was different. As I glanced skyward, I tried to imagine the eyes of God looking back at me. But instead of seeing theContinue reading “Worshiping the Holy One”

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for her to make her holy, cleansing her with the washing of water by the word. He did this to present the church to Himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or anything like that, but holy and blameless. – Ephesians 5:25-27Continue reading “Ironing Out the Wrinkles”

You know what? I’m just gonna say it. We’re running out of time. There’s not much time left to be wishy-washy about where you stand, what you believe in, nor where you plan to spend eternity. I’m not usually one for the “turn or burn” kind of messaging, but I just sense that time isContinue reading “Running Out of Time”

Recently, while reading, I encountered a chapter in my book* simply entitled, “The God Who Loves Whores.” Just reading those words caused me to stop dead in my tracks as my heart jolted with the deep revelation of this truth that coursed through my veins. Though I desperately wanted to know all this chapter had toContinue reading “The God Who Loves Whores”

This blog entry is quite a bit different from the things you typically find here, but today, I’ve been challenged to share a portion of my life with you that is less than beautiful. I don’t share it just for the sake of putting it out there, but I share it, fully believing that somehow,Continue reading “My Story – Part One?”
