Embrace Your Everlasting Father

“ . . . And He will be called . . . Everlasting Father . . .” Isaiah 9:6 Happy New Year, dear one! I pray that 2014 brings you closer than ever to Jesus and that you fully experience what He died to give you. I hope to. We have spent the last couple […]

Mighty God

“ . . . And he will be called . . . Mighty God  . . . “ Isaiah 9:6 The birthday of our Lord is quickly approaching! I pray this Christmas will open for you a new revelation of who Jesus really is. He is so much more than I ever thought He was. […]

Wonderful Counselor

“ . . . And He will be called Wonderful Counselor . . . “  Isaiah 9:6 Have you ever wished you could have your own, personal adviser? I’m not just talking about financial advice or help in making major decisions. I’m talking about someone who holds every answer, even to the questions you don’t […]

A Son is Given

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6 I trust by now you’ve had your fill of turkey, stuffing, and apple pie—or whatever special foods your […]

I tend to process things better when I share them, so I’m inviting you in for a taste. Here’s the morsel. Surrender differs from trust. I’ll […]

Rest for the Weary

I have nothing to offer you today. Seriously. I sat at my computer several times over the last few days praying for divine inspiration to share with you. What do they need, Lord? What do you want to speak through me? Several times I felt I had a direction, and my fingers began to move […]

The Bitter Root

Perhaps you can’t relate to this, but occasionally, I get angry. And when I do, I have a list of very valid reasons that explain why I have every right to feel that way. If I choose to feed that anger, it can turn into something pretty ugly. Just ask my husband. After nineteen years, he’s witnessed […]

Cancer – A Paradigm Shift

Her words stirred my soul as I thought of the many times […]
