latest UPDATE & PRAYER REQUEST
The Lord is opening so very many doors in ministry right now that I’m humbled beyond measure, astonished, excited, and a little bit daunted when it comes to trying to envision how I’m going to keep up with it all. Of course, I will only keep up with any of it and glorify God by going forward in HIS WILL in HIS LOVE in HIS WISDOM in HIS STRENGTH for HIS GLORY!……..
As the Lord opens more and more doors in ministry, as He leads me through those doors and into the unfolding of His will as I live...

“…Happy are the people whose God is the Lord!” Psalm 144:15………
Oh, what a blessing it is to be happy, isn’t it? And this verse tells us that we will be happy when we have a million dollars, right? And when we marry the person of our dreams, right? And when we can take vacations to beautiful places several times a year, right? And when we get out of prison early, right? And when we get an apartment and no longer live on the streets, right? And when we lose just the right amoun...

“being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;” Phil. 1:6………..
I talked to a person in ministry one day who shared with me a struggle with believing he was worthy of serving the Lord in the capacity to which he believed he has been called because of wrong choices he had made along the way. Though he did not elaborate, I believe he was most likely referring to his history of sin. I could totally relate. Especially b...

latest LITTLE LETTER FROM LARA
Dear friend, ……..
I was doing something one morning to make myself feel safe in a certain way when I sensed the presence of the Lord and His desire to speak to my heart. I believe He wanted to remind me that He is my safety, and that no matter what measures I take to feel safe, my true and ultimate safety is in the Lord Jesus Christ. But I sensed He had more to say. ………I believe the Lord wanted me to know that it grieves Him that there are women all around the world who don’t feel safe beca...

Blessing #78………
“The Lord is gracious and full of compassion,
Slow to anger and great in mercy.” Psalm 145:8…………
The Lord doesn’t leave us in the dark when it comes to letting us know how He wants us to live. Not only does He give us clear commands and instructions in the Bible, but Jesus Himself in His time on this earth modeled to us the way we are to live. The verse above may seem on the surface like it’s simply a beautiful description of glorious God who is gracious, compassionate, not qu...

Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.” Romans 8:26-27……….

A HUMBLING LESSON IN SERVING……….
“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”” Mark 10:45………..
Years ago, in a fit of me, me, and me, it’s all about me, I decided there was no way I would return to a little church service for people who are homeless because I was totally disgruntled and discouraged with some of how the leadership was acting. Then the Spirit of God dealt with me. Good and hard. Just as I needed.
He brought me to the...
