My child, I hear My children saying “The situation we are in right now feels like such a waste. All of this time spent alone. The loss of my work and my income. This is such a waste.” As the disciples watched Me take My last breath on the cross, surely they also felt like it had been a waste. The time spent following Me, the hope of a new kingdom and new way of life - ... Read More »

Maybe We’ll Remember
Maybe we’ll remember walks in the forest. The way the breeze felt against our cheeks. How the birds sang when we opened our windows first thing in the morning. The sunset on a wide open plain, a lingering snap of winter before the spring. Maybe we’ll remember how it felt to be alone but still together. When strangers waved from one side of the street to the other, a kind ... Read More »
Voicing Positive Thoughts
Have you ever said something terrible? Our negative words hurt others, and they hurt us too. So we need to make a habit of voicing only positive thoughts. Pray, sing, and confess the Word out loud. You can say things like, "God is on my side. I can do whatever He assigns me to do." Or, "God is good and He has a good plan for my life. Blessings are overflowing in my ... Read More »

Time is a trainer, teaching you to wait upon Me, to trust ... Read More »

The Secret to Enduring
Image: Susan Keddy's Facebook It wasn’t a Hollywood, romanticized, neatly tied with a bow kind of tale. It was a two week long, exhausting, ninety-seven mile trek over rocky, hilly and windy terrain, including having to pass through a river - all on the back of boney donkey for Mary and by foot for Joseph. No, it wasn’t easy, but they were bondservants on a mission ... Read More »
Enduring Requires Humility
Image from Beth Moore's Facebook page I’d like to pitch out a theory that this thing we call *ghosting* may be connected to a prophetic word in Scripture. You know what I mean. The disappearing act of someone in our lives, social circles or faith communities without any explanation or one that doesn’t hold water. Disclaimer right up front so we can get it out of the ...
