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 […]

Advent: A Glorious Awakening

Sometimes there are moments where you know something has shifted and you are experiencing something significant, even if you don’t know exactly what it is. It happened this past week as I joined intercession with Christians around the world at the request of parents who dared to take God at His Word. “Heal the sick, […]

God is on the Move

I believe the Lord is gathering His hungry and passionate children to unite and pursue Him like never before. He is becoming our all consuming passion and our relationship with Him is bringing new life to us and to those around us. I am more consumed with His love and goodness than ever before, and […]

Delicate Restoration

It is a gift to find a song that provides language to express part of your journey. The song “Defender” resonated deeply with me when I was at my lowest. I would listen to it and weep and not really know why. The illumination of its significance has been progressive as I continue my healing […]

New Vision for Thanksgiving

The holidays are often complicated times for many people. Time with family can bring back heartwarming memories as well as very unpleasant or downright hurtful ones. There is often a mixed bag of emotions. Sometimes loved ones are missing, other times they are with us, but suffering. It’s hard. Our hearts hurt for ourselves and […]

A Miraculous Way Out

He [Peter] signaled for them to be quiet as he shared with them the miraculous way the Lord brought him out of prison. Acts 12:17 (TPT) Peter was securely bound with two chains between two sleeping guards and awakened in the middle of the night by an angel of the Lord who escorted him out […]

The Power of Presence

All relationships experience ebbs and flows. There are times of exciting discoveries about one another. The process of learning someone’s likes, dislikes, what makes them unique, laugh and feel loved. There are fun times where time flies. There are hard times and heartbreaks. I have found that my deepest relationships are those that have stood […]

The Power of Perspective

Perspective is everything. The two orphan kittens we rescued recently were understandably terrified when trapped with the aid of irresistible wet food. They have no idea colder weather is coming. There is no understanding that they now have access to an endless supply of wet food and warm living. Once roaming the neighborhood, the restriction […]

The Fragrance of a Heart Poured Out

I’m still learning to bring all of my disappointment and discouragement to the Lord and honestly pour out my emotions to Him. After I feel like I have “gotten it all out” I choose to worship Him for who He is. I pour out my love for Him and my gratitude for all He has […]

Never Underestimate the Healing Power of Song

“Lean Back” from Capital City Worship has been such a blessing. Many of us have deep wounds in our hearts that He longs to heal. May we all stay still until the Father’s love sinks in and we truly believe His love is better than any other. “Lean Back” (lyrics) You will never leave Your […]

Receiving When You’re Not Okay

Every one of Your godly lovers receives even more than what they ask for. For You hear what their hearts really long for and You bring them Your saving strength. Psalm 145:19 (TPT) When I first became sick, all I wanted was to get better. I seriously wanted nothing but the pain and anguish to stop. […]

The Song That Became My Lifeline

On Sunday, February 11, 2018, I wasn’t feeling very well emotionally and it became very clear that something was seriously wrong. My husband and I were scared, so I asked him to put on the Sunday evening service at Bethel Church that was just beginning. I let the music wash over me in an attempt […]

The Company You Keep During a Season of Hardship Matters

Even though the Lord may allow you to go through a season of hardship and difficulty, He Himself will be there with you. He will not hide Himself from you, for your eyes will constantly see Him as your Teacher. Isaiah 30:20 (TPT) I don’t like hardship and difficulty. I really don’t. However, if I’m […]

Friday Fun

Yay it’s Friday! In celebration of the weekend, I wanted to share something inspirational and fun. We will kick off the first Friday Fun with a double blessing. Our family has been following Grace for the Millers on YouTube for a little over a month and absolutely love this sweet family. I will let them […]

Pleasant Pools

5 How enriched are they who find their strength in the Lord; within their hearts are the highways of holiness! 6 Even when their paths wind through the dark valleys of tears, they dig deep to find a pleasant pool where others find only pain. He gives to them a brook of blessing filled from […]

Let’s Go…

7 Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, and whose hope is in the LORD. 8 For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes; but its leaf will be green, and will not be anxious […]
