When I was in college, the second time, God carried me many times. I had six kids at home, and was in an abusive marriage. It was so hard, I’m still amazed I made it. Lessons that God taught me in that time, he brings back often. One of the most valuable lessons that …

A Grieved Heart
The book that I am writing is about inner healing, deliverance, and how our identity can be rewritten through those. Saturday morning I was thinking about how we often think of inner wounds as those which have been inflicted by others. We may not think as much, about wounds which are self inflicted, or those …
The Great Adventure
Over the last year I have had several dreams and visions with a recurring element within them. Honestly, I hadn’t given it a ton of thought until this last week. It was early morning and they all seemed to be laid out in front of me. As they were brought to my attention, I looked …
A Bucket of Water
I started listening to a YouTube video as I was in the shower. I don’t know why I thought that I’d be able to hear it with the water running. I heard some indiscernible sounds and something like, ‘so much more’ was said. At that point I had an image in my mind of …
Power of Prayer
My husband came into the house to ask me a question. I had been doing dishes, and asked where the boys were. The oldest two boys were only one and two at the time, and were hanging outside with their him. I had no sooner got that question out of my mouth, than we …
What is in your hand?
In the last week or more, I’ve heard or read the parable of the talents, Mt. 25:14-30, several times, twice today alone. Finally, God got through to my heart. The talent was a measure of money, but I believe we can see it as whatever resources that we’ve been given. That could be time, relationships, …
Remember!
In Dt. 25:17-19, the Lord addresses what the Amalikites did to the Israelites as they came out of Egypt. 17 Remember what the Amalekites did to you along the way when you came out of Egypt. 18 When you were weary and worn out, they met you on your journey and attacked all who were lagging behind; they had …
Skydiving and Focus
In my younger teen and tween years, my dad took up skydiving as a hobby. The weekends that we went to Sky Sports were good weekends, with my soon to be step siblings. There was lots of room to run. We watched skydivers prepare parachutes for jumping, played foosball, went into the old airplane observation …
Sitting Together
Today I’ve been missing my step dad. He’s been gone for several years, yet there are still days that I think about him more. It led me to recall how I would like to go the house, just to hang out and sit with him for a while. Sometimes he’d tell me crazy stories about …
Grief and Healing
As a teen, and even into young adulthood, I often responded in destructive ways to pain. There was an unrest and even torment within me that would not go away. Though I tried with the usual means of mind altering chemicals and intimate ‘relationships’, these were not effective, and ultimately caused more pain. I gave …
