Do you believe His word? Or are you filtering the Word through a doctrine of “just enough”?
Taste and See
Panic or Trust
I remembered my history with God. He has always looked ahead and provided. We have never experienced lack. While God has not yet opened my eyes to see the Ram in the bush, I know it’s there. Because I trust God is Jehovah Jireh, the God who looks ahead and provides.
I AM
My favorite name for God is I am. Hear the voice of the Lord this morning. I AM good in trials. I AM hope in disappointment. I AM perfect love in fear. I AM light in darkness. I AM joy in heartache. I AM provision in lack. I AM wisdom in confusion. I AM mercy in mistakes. I AM grace in failure. I AM healing in sickness. I AM comfort...
Sometimes You Need a Truck
In 2012, when gas was over $3.60/gallon, my husband decided to buy a brobdingnagian, V8, gas guzzling truck. I thought it was a bad idea. It didn’t make sense on paper. I resisted. The truck is so big, no one else in the family (at that time we had 5 drivers in the house) was comfortable driving it but him. But he insisted, that “Big Butt Bertha” was the next...

Tired and Ticked Off

So I am physically exhausted just thinking about another marathon day and I’m frustrated with the politics at work. That is how I started my morning. Tired and ticked….Then I read The Word. Abraham was...
Entering In
The children of Israel had been in captivity for 70 years. God commanded them to prosper in their captivity. Now, they are headed home, back to their land. If you think about it, this generation returning had only known captivity. So going back to their promised land was scary, full of the unknown, some may have preferred to stay in captivity, after all, it was all they knew. Now, they...
How Are You Going To Pay For That?
How are you going to pay for that? That was the question I heard yesterday when I felt God gave me an idea of how to promote my upcoming book. It’s the same question I heard four years ago when God called me to write the first book. It’s the question I hear every time I decide to go on a missions trip. It’s the question I hear anytime the...
