Have you ever just had a sense that God was about to do something big? I’ve seen God move many times in my life. It seems He has a way of preparing us before life actually hits. About a week before my ex-husand passed away, a verse just jumped off the pages of scripture. It…
And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in…
I’ve said it before, and I will say it again: The hardest years of parenting are when your kids are ages 18-22. I thought it was hard when I had three kids under the age of five. I was sleep deprived. They were totally dependent on me. They were non-stop energy and required constant supervision….
Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. Matthew 6:33 At the beginning of the year, I pasted this verse on my bathroom mirror so I see it every single day, multiple times each day. I have chosen it as my theme for 2024….
This week, I’m excited to have my daughter write a guest post for me! She’s now a sophomore in college, and an absolute delight! This summer, she is going to Cambodia and Thailand on a two month mission trip. It would bless her to have you join her in prayer! You can also pray for…
Last week, I spent my morning commute praying. As you may remember, my word for 2024 is miracles, specifically miracles of restoration miracles of purpose. I have several people in my life for whom I am praying for miracles of restoration–restoration of their relationship with God, restoration of their marriages, restoration other relationships. As I drove…
“You don’t have enough faith,” Jesus told them. “I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it would move. Nothing would be impossible.” Matthew 17:20 How much faith do we need to see miracles in…
Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly. Psalm 5:3 Miracles. Miracles of restoration. Miracles of purpose. That’s what has been on my mind for the last two months. I believe wholeheartedly God has laid these words on my heart for 2024. My mind…
Jesus. So often, I simply find myself crying out the name of Jesus. There are so many times I simply can’t find the words, but I know the name of Jesus has power. It has authority. It has peace. It is God with us. These last few months, I’ve been presented with some difficult situations…
Extraordinary acts of God begin with ordinary acts of obedience. Craig Groeschel These words (as I shared a few weeks ago) have rung through my mind for weeks now. As I’ve been sharing, God has called me to step out of my comfort zone, to trust Him with my future. For many years, I have…
Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it. Psalm 139:14 You may be thinking my title is awfully self-centered. To think an entire year is all about me sounds so contrary to the message of the Bible. However, that’s my focus for 2024. Before you shut me…
“Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:18-19 A new year is upon us. Let’s be honest: I…
