There are two ways to learn. The first way is to run every scenario inside your head and look for every possible outcome before you take a breath ... and find that you never truly live. The second way is to learn by taking one step at a time and getting correction as you go. … Continue reading What’s My Choice?

Words of Truth and Life Withheld
Over the past few days, God has led me into situations where I needed to speak the truth in love as an encouragement. Every time, I was terrified at the potential response. Would my words be misconstrued? Would they hurt rather than encourage? Why did this matter to me? Several reasons. God made me to … Continue reading Words of Truth and Life Withheld
God Knows How to Stretch Us
I have a friend that, one of the many things I admire about her is the ability to walk up to a total stranger and start a conversation. I don't have that ability. I've asked God for that ability. I'm terrified of what He'll do as He answers that prayer! However, my experience has been … Continue reading God Knows How to Stretch Us
Terrified of Teens No More
I've mentioned how God delivered me from fear, starting with the bigger things, and now working on the smaller things that are just as hindering and tenacious. If you know what it's like to live with fear, you might wonder: Can God really set us free? Oh, yes! I can attest to that, and so … Continue reading Terrified of Teens No More
God Saved My Life
The enemy must be getting desperate. Two nights ago, I woke from a deep sleep at 1:30 a.m. - choking to death. It was the same sensation as taking water into your lungs while swimming, only worse. I couldn't breathe in or out. It was surreal. I was strangely calm. I had this awareness that … Continue reading God Saved My Life

I walk in healing Even when I stumble. I walk in healing Despite the doctor's words. … Continue reading I Walk in Healing
Coke Cup from Heaven

One of our friends, a doctor, was hosting a table at a community resources exhibition. Another friend and I were planning to help her out at the table that day. However, I … Continue reading Coke Cup from Heaven

Hear My heart. My desire is for you, My love. All for you. I have always loved you. I have always longed to see your face alive with grace, precious beyond knowing. How beautiful you are to Me. So beautiful. Lift your gaze to Me. Let Me look on you with gladness in My heart. … Continue reading Love
Beautiful
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. Not only did Jesus bring me through it all; he began to turn things around and restore me. I finally reached a place of … Continue reading Beautiful
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
