Update & Prayer Request
EXCITING NEWS! Even as the Lord leads me forward in my ministry work in New York City, He has placed on my heart that He is leading me out of New York City in the not too distant future and on to other locations! I am ecstatic! Oh, sure, it’s bittersweet. I LOVE being in New York City for ministry. It’s an AMAZING opportunity for endless ministry.
But the Lord placed strongly on my heart that THE ENTIRE WORLD needs help in finding and forever following Him. And ALL OF AMERICA needs help in...

Jesus Stopped Me
It was the smallest of matters. Truly. I had a little plan to do something little that really had little bearing on anything or anyone. It would have taken little time and meant little to most of the world. But still, Jesus stopped me.
I was getting ready to go somewhere to do something because I felt it was the next thing I should do that given day. Besides, I felt I would enjoy the diversion. The fresh air. The walk. The errand. The break from my ministry doggies. The break from the...
This is NOT Condemnation
“Don’t take what I am saying to you as condemnation,” the Holy Spirit of God said one day. “Take it as chastisement. I am perfecting my ways in you.”
Yes, I regularly hear from the Lord word by word. It comes with loving and following Him with all my heart, reading and living by His Word day by day, and seeking His face for years, taking alone time with Him each and every day, and learning to listen, to hear, and to obey.
What was the Lord telling me that day? That He was NOT condemning me....
Good News Daily – February 17
The Lord has been doing a mighty work in me – FOR YEARS – including very much so in recent weeks and days. I wish I could tell you it’s easy to be changed by the Lord, to be taught and tested, to be convicted, chastened, corrected, and refined, to be attacked by the devil in the midst of it all and to learn how to win the spiritual battles, but it’s absolutely NOT. Is it worth it? I wouldn’t have it any other way. Why? Because Jesus Christ is Lord, Savior, and number one love of...

Dangerous Day of My Life
One of the most dangerous days of my life occurred decades ago when I attended a self-help group and was told to look at a big bunch of images of facial expressions and choose which one(s) described my feelings at the time. For years and years to come, I immersed myself in all sorts of psychology, psychiatry, 12-step groups, self-help groups, self-help books, etc. Everywhere I went, I was taught emphatically that I should live my life for me and base my choices and decisions on myself and my...
Desperate for Love
If there was anything I used to do on Valentine’s Day for years, it was TO CRY! I was OBSESSED with men and finding a man to love me and whom I could love. I knew virtually nothing about the Lord Jesus Christ, lived for myself, and drank my way in and out of bars and men’s lives. I got lonelier and lonelier, more desperate and more desperate, and Valentine’s Day I would find myself devastated whether I had a man in my life or not. I was convinced a man and relationship were the answer to my...

Forsaking All – Time Included
There is nothing in the universe more important than the Lord Jesus Christ and our love for and obedience to Him, and no matter what or whom He calls us to forsake in believing in and following Him, we need to be faithful and honor Him and let go. We need to be wiling to give up anything or anyone He calls us to give up. We need to be willing to leave anything or anyone He calls us to leave behind. We need to be willing to sacrifice anything, absolutely anything,...
