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.

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
