Update & Prayer Request
As I wind up my season of time alone with the Lord & ministry work in south Florida, I am thankful to the Lord for all He has done in and through me, exhausted from what turned out to be quite the challenging season, and in need of prayer given the past few days!
Sunday, someone went under my car with equipment and stole my catalytic converter and sensor just days before hoping to trade it in for a replacement ministry car. After a very long and intense search for the right car for being on the ...
This New Day
Praise the Lord for a new day! It’s like a blank slate, isn’t it? Or an empty canvas. With what will we fill it? If you’re like me, you may think immediately of ACTIONS. Our actions undoubtedly this day and every day should be pleasing and honoring to the Lord. But what about our hearts? May our hearts today and continually be filled with LOVE, PEACE, HOPE, JOY, THANKSGIVING, and REST – in, through, and for the Lord Jesus Christ. And, when we find our hearts, words, and actions fall short in thi...
They Stole from Me!
Just days away hopefully anyway from at long last replacing my car with 260,000 miles on it that I have used for being on the road for Jesus full-time with my handicapped ministry dogs, I loaded it up with my sweet dogs, a little picnic, and headed off for a little day trip in south Florida my latest location. Let me take that back. I didn’t head off. I tried to. But one turn of the ignition had me quickly out of the car, get my dogs out to be safe God forbid the car catch on fire given the horr...

The Wrong Voice
Are you listening to the wrong voice? If you are listening to the “voice” of your human flesh apart from God which by its very nature lusts for what is ungodly, you are listening to the wrong “voice”.
If you are listening to the “voice” of this world and all its worldly ways that go against God and His ways as He teaches us in the Bible, you are listening to the wrong “voice”.
If you are listening to the “voice” of the devil, whose mission is to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10) as he tries ...

Doing the Impossible
Has the Lord ever called you to do something so daunting, overwhelming, so outrageously wild, so beyond your capabilities and resources in your mind anyway, so seemingly absolutely impossible that you can’t even fathom how you could possibly take one single step in that direction? Oh, friend, I have been there over the years. Again and again in fact. And sometimes I need to be reminded of what I share with you now.
God calls His children to live by faith in Him. To put our trust in Him. To live ...

Unconditional Joy
So here’s my confession when it comes to JOY and rejoicing. I already know what to do. Now I need to do better. Wonder if you can relate? And if you’d like to join me in my resolve to get this right?
The Lord makes abundantly clear time and again in the Bible that JOY is NOT to be contingent on our circumstances, the world around us, what others say or do, what we think, how we feel. JOY is to be unconditional. We are to experience JOY each and every day – IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST!
When I’m not ...
Growing Pains
Long, long ago, when I was a little girl, I was desperately delayed – in my opinion anyway – when it came to growing and developing. I was short. Very. My parents used to measure me and my brother against a wall panel kind of a thing in the wall. Not exactly sure how to describe it. Only to say the little marks they made with a pen or pencil were there literally decades later when they finally sold the house. Needless to say I finally did grow to an average height. With growing pains along the w...

Lara’s Car Update
Perhaps you wonder why I’m taking the time to update you on my car. After all, this is a ministry for the Lord Jesus Christ, right? It absolutely is! So why talk to you about a car? For Christ’s sake, and I mean that literally! So here goes.
I have been on the road for Jesus & ministry with my handicapped ministry dogs for 4 years now writing & publishing Gospel tracts, devotionals & books and video devotionals and doing streets, hotel, and beach ministry with a 2003 Honda Element I have had for...

Serving in the Storm
When a horrible and horrendous thunderstorm comes, tree branches are falling on the house, the wind is wailing and the windows are shuddering and threatening to shatter, the lights are blinking and the power is likely to go out, hail sounds like rocks falling from the sky as you peek out your front door to get a foreshadowing of the damage you will have to address when the storm has finally passed even though it feels like it never will, the last thing on your mind most likely is how to do anyth...

BIG PRAYER REQUEST from lara
BIG Prayer Request from Lara
Dear friend,
This week marks 4 years of being on the road full-time for the Lord & ministry with my handicapped ministry dogs with no permanent base anywhere writing & publishing tracts, a devotional magazine, & books & video devotionals and doing streets, hotel, & beach ministry with no traditional salary, a car with about 260,000 miles on it, a history of decades of brokenness beyond human hope & repair, ongoing personal challenges – and the utterly amazing Lord Je...
