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”

What Lies Beneath
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”
Plateaus
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”
Worshiping the Holy One
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”
Ironing Out the Wrinkles
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”
Running Out of Time
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”
The God Who Loves Whores
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”
My Story – Part One?
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?”
Christ and a Tree
I saw this picture of a manger scene, nestled quietly under a Christmas tree and I felt my heart whisper that the tree had always loomed in the background of the life of this little child who was born to be our Savior. It was the backdrop of every scene in His life. The treeContinue reading “Christ and a Tree”
Music to God’s Ears
I’m listening to classical piano. There are no words, just melodies that communicate the composer’s innermost feelings. These notes, as they dance across the air, connect with my heart and I feel the music beginning to express the state of my soul…rested and content, full of joy and hope. All without words, these expressions areContinue reading “Music to God’s Ears”
