THE BEST GIFT
Merry Christmas Friends! I hope you are enjoying a bit of time off from your regular work and spending precious hours with loved ones. I was recently listening to a close friend—ok, it was my husband—as he expressed Christmas gift shopping frustrations. We talked about how stressful this season (that…
God’s Nature to Bless
What a day! What is God doing?! Amazing me. That’s what He’s doing. I got up a little slower and later than usual today. My husband and I had an impromptu babysitting request the night before to watch our 7-month-old twin grandchildren. Who could pass that up? It was so…
A Season of Miracles
We are in a season of miracles. I’ve seen it with my own eyes. On July 10-13, 2022, I attended a tent crusade in Colorado Springs, CO, held by Mario Murillo, and hosted by Radiant Church. I volunteered on the salvation prayer team for the first three nights and was…

Renewed Focus
Happy New Year! During the last few days, I have been taking time to reflect on accomplishments and challenges of the past year. I have also been considering what the Lord might have me do moving forward. It’s a time of developing fresh hopes for the new year. God’s plans…
Called to Dance (Personal Testimony)
Sitting quietly in a darkened room filled with Christian women for a weekend retreat, the prophetic psalmist paused between songs. Pointing me out, she said “this next one’s for you.” She poured out the Lord’s words to me in song. “Just like a swan on a lake… like the ripple…
When God Breaks Through
I was losing ground. Projects that I had been working on were being constantly pushed to a back corner as I addressed other things needing more immediate attention. When time for those waiting projects became available, I could not get motivated to re-start them. I was overwhelmed by the chaotic…
