Born For Miracles

May 22, 2010

Do you remember the book, The Prayer of Jabez? It was a little book, but a life changing one. People everywhere began praying the prayer, and God did amazing things to expand their boundaries for His kingdom on earth. The same author, Bruce Wilkinson, has written another book that I believe is life changing as [...]

Filled With Wonder

May 17, 2010

This morning, I was listening to a beautiful song by Selah. In the lyrics I heard, “When You come and I am filled with wonder…” I guess I hadn’t ever thought about what it might be like to be filled with wonder in the Lord’s presence. When I think about being filled with wonder, I [...]

Growing Gracefully

May 6, 2010

Let’s talk a little more about God’s gift of grace. As I’ve pondered grace, I’ve decided that having a continuous flow of Christ’s ability and power in my life is definitely the way to go. It’s like being empowered with the most costly fuel…the best there is. Yet this amazing grace doesn’t cost me anything. [...]

Grace Around the Clock

April 26, 2010

Undeserved mercy. This is the definition of grace that I’ve carried with me ever since I was a little girl. Grace is what I received when I confessed my sins. It covers my mistakes, a lot like forgiveness. The Bible says that we are saved by grace. It’s unmerited mercy extended to me on the [...]

Time for a Rest

April 21, 2010

Sometimes I just have to “get out of Dodge” in order to rest and reflect. My husband and I are on a little road trip…a long weekend away to rest and let some of the fog of life lift and dissipate. Even the ordinary of life can get heavy and weigh us down… spiritually, physically, [...]

No Regrets

April 15, 2010

Recently, I received news that my dear friend’s father passed away suddenly. My heart is saddened for her and for their family; He was such a great man. It’s difficult enough to let go and say good-bye to a loved one. But when it happens without warning and you can’t be there for those last, [...]

Weekend Retreat

Last weekend I attended a womens’ retreat in South Dakota, as a guest speaker. The ladies of Faith Baptist Fellowship in Sioux Falls, were absolutely lovely. They were warm, welcoming, and ready for what I had to share. God had gone before me to prepare their hearts for the message of living in His presence. [...]

Bedtime Check-In

March 28, 2010

We can get so busy with daily life that we forget to stop and check in with God. That can be dangerous because sometimes we easily get out of hand without knowing it. As we become more led by the Spirit and not ourselves, then it is more of a moment by moment thing with [...]

Be Real

March 22, 2010

Today, I was thinking about how we live in such a performance driven world. We are even driven to act like we are perfect. No flaws allowed. Someone asks you how you are doing. And you answer, “I am doing well, thank you.” But what if you really aren’t doing very well? What if you [...]

Do I Trust God?

March 12, 2010

I say that I trust God, but do I really? Sometimes life looks a little scary, and even God seems a bit scary. What if God allows my journey to take me on the back roads where it isn’t as smooth sailing as the interstate? Will I trust God? Of course I will trust Him! [...]
