Resuming With Refined Focus

I have felt the nudge to resume writing, but only recently gained some needed revelation and insight about its focus. I encourage you to read my revised Welcome to learn more. I’ve had particular messages burning in my heart as I have walked through my share of tests and trials, as I’m sure you have. […]

Reflections On The Fire Within

It’s so easy for Christians to be overly focused on who we are as people in the natural that we forget the reality of who lives in us and that we have been born again as a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). We are NOT who we once were, and that is why […]

Bearing Fruit from the Past Three Years

It doesn’t require a prophetic gift to discern all of the problems and evil in our world. Now, more than ever, it is clear that we are not living in neutral territory. This raging war is of biblical proportions: between good and evil, light and darkness. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, […]

My Response to Living in an Unraveling World

I have allowed the craziness to push me closer to Jesus and understanding who He is and the Kingdom of God that He reigns and invites us to reign with Him. I can’t be passive or casual with faith in these times. I must be rooted deeply in the Word of God so the circumstances […]

Locking Eyes with Momma Cardinal

As a newlywed, I was captivated by the nurturing of a mother bird raising her young right outside our first humble apartment. We even rescued two baby birds on separate occasions, a starling, and a sparrow, when discovered on the driveway with no nest in sight until they were mature enough to be released back […]

What Puzzles Taught Me About Kingdom Living

Wisdom says that we must have rest and play to offset all the hard work and stress from our daily lives. This has been increasingly important as stress levels have exponentially increased due to the pandemic and other stressful world events. We all must find a few ways to relax and fill our “emotional tanks” […]

A HIGHER PERSPECTIVE

A few weeks ago, the kids and I met up with a longtime friend and her kids for a hike. We decided to try a different route than we were used to, leading to a challenging rock climbing adventure. As usual, the kids motored ahead quickly and determinedly while I frequently stopped to catch my […]

Learning To Savor

My husband is an excellent cook who has layers of flavoring combined with gorgeous aesthetics when serving a meal. The beauty of his creations is pleasing in every way. Everyone loves to eat his cooking since it offers an experience to all the participants. Even an untrained palate can appreciate the taste and quality of […]

It’s time to share Again

It has been a week since my father’s memorial and our celebrating his 74 years of life and seven weeks since he met Jesus face to face. All the hard work and planning paid off, and it was a memorable time together with family and friends. There was relief upon its conclusion and satisfaction from […]

Embracing the New

Check out the blog’s updated format and a recent challenge I have been working through.

Celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! I always get excited when March 17th rolls around, and it is not just for the Irish soda bread I love or the delicious corned beef and boiled vegetables. Of course, I feast on these at least once during this festive time. My excitement comes as I remember a powerful encounter […]

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 […]
