A Humble Tree and Resounding Joy

My heart is bubbling with joy to share a very meaningful story and a testimony of God’s goodness and grace. It began many years ago, in June when our oldest was four, and our son was one. We found out that I was pregnant with our 3rd child. Our daughter was excited to be a […]

Has Advent Come Early?

Our family, like so many, is embracing Christmas early. Christmas music and movies have been blasting hope, joy, and love into our home since mid-October. Advent, a time of expectant waiting and preparation for God’s intervention, has been inaugurated despite the month at the top of the calendar. 2020 has provided the opportunity to engage […]

I See the Church Uniting

I believe these are important days for the Church of Jesus Christ and we are being trained how to battle against evil for the good of our nation and the glory of God.

Remembering 9/11/01 and a Call to All Christians

The events of 9/11/01 united our country and affected all who were alive during that time in significant ways. This anniversary is different after the last 6 months when our world once again changed in traumatic ways. It’s time for Christians to unite and fight the REAL battle.

Four Years Ago…….

I was just surprised to see WordPress acknowledge my fourth anniversary today. I vaguely remember when I felt A Secret Spring ‘drop into my spirit’ while meditating on Song of Songs. I knew it was the name of my blog and the conception of something new for me. However, I could have never known the […]

Giving My Fresh ‘Yes’

My absence from blogging over the past few months was necessary to process everything happening worldwide since May. I needed to stay focused on Jesus through prayerful journaling and reflection. I don’t know about you, but I have realized that my previous understanding of the Lordship of Jesus Christ was shallow. These last few months […]

The Deeper Invitation of Shelter in Place

It’s not very often that a show your family has been watching ends, and everyone looks at each other with surprise and disappointment that it is over! However, this has consistently been our experience as my family and I enjoyed all eight episodes of The Chosen. WHAT IS THE CHOSEN? “The Chosen is the first-ever-multi-season […]

The Message God Wants You to Hear

This is a unique time in history and I believe the Lord is gathering His children like never before. Please take time to hear the message He wants you to hear and believe.

The Heart of Palm Sunday

Palm Sunday is a lesson on the power of expectations and an invitation to surrender our lives and submit to His ways, times and method.

Finding Strength in Our New Reality

I don’t know about you, but the soberness of this unique time in history started to sink in this week. After the initial adrenaline rush of preparing for quarantine living and social distancing, I think I have begun a new level of processing. The newness of it all has worn off and living my own […]

Opportunities for Growth Living in Quarantine

I believe He has been uniquely preparing each of us for this time.

Worship Your Way into the Weekend – March 13th

Let’s praise our way through the uncertainities and storms of life because Jesus Christ is faithful.

Before and After Tag

A fun way to get to know me.

Worship Your Way into the Weekend…..

Here’s one of the newly releasesd songs I have had on repeat and why.

Provision: One Day at a Time

This past weekend we celebrated my grandmother’s 100th birthday! What a milestone! She is the mother of 4, grandmother of 9 and great-grandmother of 4. She has modeled a life of prayer and service and is deeply loved by all who know her. Already in a reflection mode, I retrieved some scrapbooks from the attic […]

When the Waters are Rough

I don’t know where the first half of January has gone, but time continues to fly! I haven’t been able to write until now, because of a turbulent beginning to this new decade that required I focus on my family. I have spent a lot of time praying, journaling, and processing the challenges, and I […]
