Oh God! I love Your commandments; I love Your guidance and Your wisdom and Your love and Your faithfulness!
Your words are a light upon the path before me. Darkness may be all around me…but Your light cuts through the darkness!
I love Your name and I desire for it to be continually on my lips and in my heart. May Your name be my strong tower that no forces can penetrate!
❤️I love You, LORD!❤️
I love when God speaks to me through “signs!” He has gotten my attention through signs on trucks; road signs; signs on buildings; and now a sign in a bookstore.
Yesterday, I felt God’s love and attention while sitting with friends drinking tea in a bookstore coffee shop. I was enjoying this precious time of friendship when I glanced past them into the bookstore itself.
There, right in my line of vision, were the words RELAX and RENEW on a book table sign. Yes, Lord!! I hear You!!
I am reminded that in the midst of pouring out in ministry to others, we need to take time for ourselves. We need to relax and be renewed in God’s presence!
There must be balance! There is a time of pouring out and there is a time of being filled. I am so blessed that I am entering a season of God using me in many ministry settings! And I am so blessed that I have this time of entering into rest, relaxation, and being renewed as I go forward in focus and preparation.
God knows what we need and when we need it! He is so faithful and loves us so much. May we take the time to listen to Him however He chooses to speak: through His Word; through music; through prayer; and yes, even through signs! Hallelujah!!
“If you are always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be!” ~Maya Angelou
Brothers & Sisters, be who God has called you to be! We don’t need to look at others to be our “example.” We don’t have to try and “fit in.”
Jesus is our example!! We are to look at His life and ministry to see what our “normal” should look like.
Our “normal” is to be supernatural!! Why? Because we have a supernatural God living within us! The Holy Spirit empowers us to live a life beyond the “natural!” [see Mark 16:17-18; Matthew 10:8; John 14:12…]
We are empowered to be overcomers…to be world changers…to make a difference!!
God calls us to impact the world – one person at a time. And He has given us everything we need to accomplish His call!
He’s calling – are you ready?
We may not have fig trees, grapevines, olive crops, flocks, and cattle … but we all have those physical things that sustain us in life.
There are times when things seem to be falling apart around us! And it is during those times that we have to dig deep inside of ourselves and realize that even though our circumstances may look bleak – our God is still shining brightly!
The God of our salvation is still with us; He is still moving on our behalf; He is indeed our strength when all we feel is weak.
What are you going through, beloved of God? You may not be able to rejoice in the circumstances…but rejoice in the Lord who is with you in them! Rejoice in the Lord who can use those circumstances to bring good into your life!
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28 NIV
You are loved!!

The New Year is upon us!
I hear the Lord calling us to a deeper faith…a stronger faith…a focused faith.
We are being called to take a leap of faith! We are being propelled by the power of the Holy Spirit to leave our “comfort zone” and make a leap into our future!
I see the Lord lifting us up and above those things that would hold us down, The wind of the Holy Spirit will carry us over those places that seem impossible to navigate.
Don’t look down…don’t focus on your ability to make the jump! Look up!! Focus on the Lord and HIS ability!
Get ready!! Focus!! Breathe deeply and let the breath of God fill your lungs!!
TAKE THE LEAP!!
Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. ~Matthew 5:16
May we reflect the Light of Christ today and every day! Mary carried the physical Jesus and gave Him birth into the world. We carry the spiritual Jesus -Christ in us, the hope of glory. ~Colossians 1:27
Lord, may we join You in releasing Your presence, Your power, Your mercy, and Your love everywhere we go!
We honor and celebrate YOU, Jesus, on this day and every day of the year! HALLELUJAH!!
Dearest Jesus,

I celebrate Your resurrection and Your spiritual life being lived out in and through us.
I celebrate You in us – the hope of glory.
I celebrate!
