The Man Who Listened to Me

     How refreshed and relatively shocked I was when a business man with whom I crossed paths took the love, time, and care to listen to me about a certain very concerning matter. Not only did he listen, but he had every intention of addressing the issues I brought to his attention. Maybe this isn’t a big deal for you, but it is for me. I have a background strongly impacted by the fact when I needed help with something very big nobody wanted to listen and help, and I have seen this in our world ...

Making God Happy

      I was up in the middle of the night as I often am spending time with the Lord without the usual distractions and busyness of the day when these words came to me. I was too tired to get out of bed and go to my computer, so I simply grabbed a pen and wrote them down on the closest thing to paper I could find. The side of my tissue box. There the words were the next morning to remind me of this message that is near and dear to my heart. Making God Happy.

     For most of my life thus far, I h...

I Want You Lord!

     Early morning. My favorite time of day. Clean slate. Fresh start. Anything possible. So much potential. My mind already going full speed as it does through the night and at all times honestly. That’s when passion burst forth in my heart. And these words came to mind. I told them to the Lord. Vehemently. “I want you Lord!”

     No recollection of what I was thinking about at the time. But I do know this. Those words say everything about where the Lord has brought me in life and ministry. I l...

But God I’m Comfortable!

     Did I ask you to call [so and so]?” the Lord spoke to my heart.

    “Yes,” I replied.

     “Why aren’t you?”

      “Because I’m lying here and I’m comfortable,” I said. I don’t slow down all too often though I’m ever in need of rest, but when I do slow down I’m not exactly ready to move until I feel good and ready.

     Ugh. The Lord didn’t need to speak another word to my heart. His Holy Spirit brought conviction deep within.

     I am the one who regularly tells people and writes about...

I Am Mad!

   “I am mad!” I declared. Not out loud. In my heart.

    “Get the anger out of your heart,” the Lord spoke to my heart. Immediately.

     I was about to make a phone call. Years and years of not purifying my heart. Old habits die hard. Not just old habits. Old sin. Ugly, yucky, sin against God. I was going to get on the phone with an angry heart. And Lord only knew where I undoubtedly would be headed with my mouth.

     I knew what I needed to do. Get rid of the anger. Forgive anyone and eve...

Not Your Job – Stay Focused!

     “Not your job – stay focused!” the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart.

     I had been thinking of going to someone whose behavior had been adversely affecting a lot of people for a long time and who appeared to be getting away with it. I wanted to do something about it right then. But God wanted me to know at that time anyway that He did NOT want me to take on the job of confronting the person. He had a job for me to do but it wasn’t that one. What I was thinking of doing was NOT His will then...

Heartbroken

     Ever felt crushed? Heartbroken? I am sensitive. I feel stuff deeply. I am emotional. I have a humungous heart. My heart has been broken countless times over the years . Whether or not people intended it, so many times so many people have hurt me. And it didn’t hurt just a little. With my big heart, with my sensitivity, oh how it hurt. Oh, how it still does when it happens. Heartbreak. Heartache. Ouch.

     One day I felt so hurt by what some people did. Tears came. I felt crushed all over a...
