For a couple months, I've been facing something that is so hard. I feel paralyzed every time I think about it. I've crawled through years of trauma, one thing after another.

For the New Year
Someone asked me yesterday if I made a New Year's Resolution. I'm not into "resolutions" but I do have one burning desire for 2010: for God to help me turn my focus completely to Him. The past decade I've had major losses. Seems I barely find my footing and there's another huge loss. Don't get … Continue reading For the New Year
God Healed My Eye
I was recovering from the flu when I noticed bright flashes and a dark haze over my left eye. For two days I figured it was flu-related but it got worse. I asked our intercessory prayer team for prayer. By Friday, October 16, there was no change so I went to the eye doctor. Based … Continue reading God Healed My Eye

God Talks to Spiders
I had this God encounter with a spider a few weeks ago and meant to share it. I told some folks about it but never got around to writing it here. Between moving (twice in two weeks) and an emotional meltdown that preceded a prayer ministry session that involved a lot of repentance against unloving … Continue reading God Talks to Spiders
His Strength in Me
I think one reason it's so easy for me to write novels is that my life reads like one. When I think of all the different kinds of trauma and crisis I've been through; my life reads like a work of fiction. How could any one person deal with so much! All the "big things" that psychologists … Continue reading His Strength in Me

Aren’t They Beautiful
At our harp and bowl worship service on April 26, I "saw" this and it was beautiful and I wrote it down on a bulletin at the time and just wanted to share it: I saw the Lord standing on a hillside covered with flowers as far as the eye could see, flowers of all … Continue reading Aren’t They Beautiful
