Sorrow and Joy During COVID-19
“But many of the older priests, Levites, and other leaders who had seen the first Temple wept aloud when they saw the new Temple’s foundation. The others, however, were shouting for joy” (Ezra 3.12 NLT). When God moves, there will be people who mourn and others who rejoice. When the second temple was finally built,...

A Prisoner of Hope: How to Encourage Yourself in the Lord
I had a dream that I washed up on a shore of a dirty creek bed. I was naked, cold and alone, and all I could do was curl up and lie there. I had no more energy. No more strength. And no more warmth. I was exposed, tired and defeated. Suddenly, I felt arms...

Book Review: Diana Alderoot and the Gilded Mage by Trista Shaye
Diana Alderoot and the Gilded Mage is a fantastical, imaginative story with creatively-crafted dialogue and whimsical imagery. The characters are each uniquely designed creatures (Fairies, Mages, Trolls, Gnomes, Moths, etc.) who bring to life Shaye’s elaborate world-building and beautifully composed character and plot arcs. Specifically, the character arc for Kendel, the young, insecure Mage,...

The Disconnected Writer: 5 Ways to Find Your Tribe
I completed my first book in January of 2006. The fact that I actually finished the book was a monumental feat that I struggled to accomplish for many years. Now that the hard work was done, I knew that God would publish my book, give me an audience and make me a successful author. Little...

Swift Victory
This is what I’m hearing from the Lord. We should not fear for He is fighting for us. He is tearing down strongholds in our nation and making us stronger because of it. We only need to rest in Him because what He’s doing has been decided and He is in the process of...

Hannah’s Prayer
I read the first 7 chapters of 1 Samuel this morning. God is making a flip of leadership in the church, replacing those who abuse their power with those who humble themselves to hear God’s voice. This flip all started with a barren woman who continued to cry out for the Lord year after...

Buildings Falling
If you know me, you know that I have many prophetic dreams. I distinguish prophetic dreams from other dreams where I’m simply processing my day by the weight and clarity of it, and many of them are in color or have some color. I write all these dreams down. So about 2 years ago,...
