I Love You Lord – a Song of Comfort

Friend, losing my beloved paralyzed streets ministry dog Mr. Simeon unexpectedly in my hotel room after years of developing an amazing God-given bond with him has devastated me. My heart is broken, and I feel crushed and still so shocked. But through it all, the Lord is using me to bear fruit for Him and for people in need of Him. If you’re in need of love and comfort, of peace and hope, of strength and a friend, of the Lord Jesus Christ and healing, please read this. Yesterday, the day I dragge...

CARRY ME, LORD!

I haven’t written poetry regularly since I was a girl. In this trying time of unexpectedly losing my paralyzed ministry dog Mr. Simeon who was an instrumental part of my ministry for years as well as exceedingly bonded to me given his 100% dependence on me for everything and given his amazingly sweet God-given nature, and who was part of my little dog family on the road full-time for Jesus with me, I have been compelled to write some poetry & song(s). I could keep them between myself and the Lor...

Lara’s Newest Book Now Available

I had no idea when the Lord placed on my heart the cover for my latest book TOTALLY DEVOTED which He compelled me to finish and publish recently that I would tragically lose my beloved paralyzed streets ministry dog Mr. Simeon just days ago whom I loved beyond measure. My book is now available for a suggested donation of $20 or more for those led to give to the ministry in his memory and to help me to fulfill my life’s calling to help people worldwide to find and forever faithfully follow the Lo...

When Your Heart Hurts

I have had plenty of trials in this life, and I used to drown in my sorrow and not be able to see beyond it. But the Lord has drawn me closer and closer to Himself and brought me deeper and deeper into the Bible and blessed me with stronger and stronger faith in Him. Please find below a little poem that poured forth from my heart in the midst of a trial. . .

Look to the Lord

Behold his glory

Behold his majesty

Behold his love

Behold his strength

And rejoice

For He is Lord

Forevermore and

Tragic News from lara / Good News Ministry

You may recall I recently asked for prayer regarding the past several weeks of a flare-up of a long-time battle with anorexia coupled with a digestive issue combined with very strong attack from the devil as well as much testing from the Lord and a resurgence of much anxiety which had not reared its ugly head to that degree in quite some time as well as great need for much more financial giving to the ministry given the very few people giving these last few years despite the ministry’s growth by...

Too Tired to Love?

Ever felt too tired, too overwhelmed, too worn out, too exhausted, too wiped out, too burned out to love someone especially when loving that person isn’t easy in the first place due to their behavior, responses, extreme needs, attitudes, lack of thankfulness, meanness, lack of love, lack of giving in return, struggles, and/or how he or she may be treating you? Or maybe felt too tired because of other things going on in your life whereby you just feel too tuckered out to muster up the energy and ...

The Compassion Challenge

Sometimes the people we should be most compassionate with because they are in the greatest need of love, mercy, and compassion are the ones with whom we are the least compassionate. Sometimes we fall short in being loving and compassionate with them because of how great their needs are, because of their attitudes, because of their lack of thanksgiving, because of their poor treatment of us, because of the stress their needs place on our lives, because of the exhaustion involved in demonstrating ...

Is Fear Your Motive?

I have a long, long history of fear and worry even as a Christ follower, and the Lord is ever working on me to repent when I get clogged up with it and to practice day by day living by faith in Him, putting my trust in Him, purging myself of fear and worry, and making faith-based decisions rather than fear-based decisions.

We should not make decisions in our everyday lives based on fear and worry. We should make decisions based on love for and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Decisions that will ...

Chocolate Chip Cookie Story

I went from years of not caring much for chocolate to eating so much chocolate at one point since going out on the road full-time for the Lord and ministry that several of my friends said they were worried about my health and said they would pray to God to take the chocolate out of my life. God answered their prayers despite how hard I wanted to hold onto my beloved chocolate, and the chocolate, double chocolate muffins, double chocolate cookies, chocolate frozen dessert, and chocolate chip cook...
