This may come as a surprise…but sometimes I question myself. I know. It’s crazy but it’s true. 😉 I can’t tell you how often I ask my Father to show me the parts of myself He wants to refine and the parts He’d like to grow. I ask that anything hindering my vision be cleared […]
Distorted View
I unwillingly woke around 6a this morning, and began my morning rituals. If I’m completely honest, I may not like the early hour but I LOVE the gradual clarity that comes over previously darkened and indistinct forms. The peace of it, the anticipation for what the day could bring, the hope…before the anxieties of the […]
Michigan as an Analogy
If you live in Michigan, you know you can dress for any season in any season. Our lovely state is full of surprises, one of which isn’t being consistently sunny. Matter of fact, we’re one of the cloudiest states in the country; less than 75 clear days a year. You didn’t know that. You are […]
Daily Miracles
Purpose. We all have one and lately I’ve been feeling like I’ll never identify or accomplish mine. But God. I woke this morning and dove into my routine per usual, including my daily prayer walking. I was praying pretty diligently this AM that no matter what happens in my life, that I be used. I […]
“You did that”
I recently vacationed with my sister on a tropical island. It was beautiful, and we loved the time together, but she still knew I was struggling. Struggling to understand the confusion that seems to surround my life and purpose…I mean, I know I have one, believe we all do. But since Covid’s isolation, I struggle […]
For I am convinced
Prayer time today. I told God that I knew I could do nothing apart from Him, that in Him I live and move and have my being (Acts 17:28). I asked Him what we were going to do with a situation we’ve found ourselves in. Then I admitted that I was really asking what HE […]
Live like you’re royalty. You are.
I keep coming back to David. KING David. What it was about King David that allowed for him to pursue God’s heart so completely, despite his laundry list of sins and subsequent consequences? Where I landed: King David knew he was a king. By default, he knew as king he could do whatever he wanted, […]
Can I abuse His grace?
I don’t want to abuse your grace, Lord I need it everyday. It’s the only thing that really ever makes me want to change. -We The Kingdom True faith begins with salvation, the acceptance of His grace. It’s offered freely. In Christ everything is now permissible for me, but not everything is beneficial. (1 Cor 10:23) My challenge […]
I receive your rain
Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? -Matthew 6:26 Morning walks lately have been a struggle. I could give myself the break, but between the compulsive “get my 10K steps” and […]
I’m no wallflower
We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us…if it is to encourage, then encourage. Romans 12: 6,8 I’m going through a season. A season of sifting. It’s been nine months tomorrow since my last visit to Aruba, and I feel like I’m having spiritual birthing pains. I’ve come with expectancy that God is […]
