Moving Out, Moving On, Moving Up Part 6
I’m fighting the urge to make something happen. The past few days have felt like we’re slogging through deep waters. Or for those of you who love winter snow, it’s that thigh deep, barely moving a trudging step at a time. It’s not bad, but it’s hard and tiring and leaves you out of breath. … More Moving Out, Moving On, Moving Up Part 6

Moving Out, Moving On, Moving Up Part 5
Sometimes we just need to remember what really matters. In the midst of waiting, confusion, confession, and learning to surrender it all, an unexpected reminder brings us to our knees in humble recognition of the main thing. Jesus. Last night, Brendan took our friend and me to see The Chosen Christmas movie. It was a … More Moving Out, Moving On, Moving Up Part 5

Moving Out, Moving On, Moving Up Part 4
In the upper room, the disciples waited for the Holy Spirit to come fill them and direct their next steps. I can imagine that after watching their leader crucified, even though Jesus rose from the dead and visited them, they were struggling with a variety of emotions. Maybe at first, they were terrified. Disciples of … More Moving Out, Moving On, Moving Up Part 4

Moving Out, Moving On, Moving Up Part 3
Today God showed up again. He always does exactly when I need him to. The morning started beautifully in worship, prayer, and reading the Bible. We received a response to an inquiry on a rental place with the same words we’ve heard over and over. “I already have numerous applications on that one, but I … More Moving Out, Moving On, Moving Up Part 3

Moving Out, Moving On, Moving Up Part 2
On the day we were to move out of the vacation rental, I booked an extended stay hotel for a few days. (For previous post click here.) Within hours, friends called to offer for us to stay with them for a month. Their one-bedroom apartment unit and extra bedroom/bath worked well for us. Four days … More Moving Out, Moving On, Moving Up Part 2

Moving Out, Moving On, Moving Up
Life can be an interesting journey. These past few months have been especially challenging, intriguing, and edifying. I just looked up the word edifying to see if I used the best word. Instructing; improving. That educates, informs, illuminates or instructs. That enlightens or uplifts. Yep. That’s it. We’ve definitely been instructed, improved, informed, illuminated, enlightened, … More Moving Out, Moving On, Moving Up

Want to See a Miracle?
So do I. And the truth is, I’ve seen God do incredible, unbelievable things – miraculous things. But here’s another truth: They don’t always look like what we expect, the way we expect, or in the timing we expect. Here are a few examples: When my husband (then fiance) and I were applying to get … More Want to See a Miracle?

A Mighty Wind
I’m in editing mode right now as I am trying to get my next book released. Book 3 in the Winds of Redemption series, A Mighty Wind is coming soon. That means that I have very little time to write. Which makes me a little sad because God has been teaching me SO MUCH! I’m … More A Mighty Wind

Oh! What a Relief it Is!
I’m dating myself, but does anyone else remember the Alka-Seltzer commercial with the jingle of “Plop, Plop, Fizz, Fizz. Oh, what a relief it is?” Catchy tune, that one. But today, I experienced a very different kind of relief. It came from obedience. I know what you’re thinking. There are a lot of things that … More Oh! What a Relief it Is!

Getting Off Track
I had a vision the other day when I was praying. I don’t know if it was exactly a vision, but often when I’m praying, I get a random picture in my head. Except, I don’t believe they’re random. When I’ve prayed for people, and a picture comes to mind, the person is usually astounded … More Getting Off Track
