Revival in the Rear View?
So it has been a month since the miracle of a non-stop prayer meeting drew followers far and wide. We marveled at what God was doing. We praised for the praise. We repented in our own places and wondered if that fire would fall in our rooms and gatherings. FOMO of the godliest kind. We Continue reading

Instantly
Instantly. Immediately. Like right now. Actually, God, I was really hoping it would have been yesterday. Or last week. Even last year. But here it is, today. Can it be today, sweet Jesus? We beg and plead for God’s intervention in our desperation. In our need. In our brokenness. Nothing wrong with that. Ask, and Continue reading

Secrets
I’ve long said that satan hides in the secrets. His tired game of old is to make us think that no one would ever understand what we are going through, and the only solution for survival is to just keep quiet. Be silent. Stew in the secrets. Embrace defeat quietly, protecting the enemy who has Continue reading

Yes, God!
Saying yes to God is a tricky thing. It doesn’t mean that we say, yes, God, I will help you out. Let me tell you what I’ve decided and how I’ve set the goals. The God of All Creation has no need of our helpful hints. He’s looking for willing hearts. To be open. Available. Continue reading

Honest Abe
Stepping off the plane from foreign lands, we were home. And we didn’t have a car. So, off to the used car dealer of the day, sweltering heat hitting our skin, streamers rippling in the mid-summer wind, and shiny numbers beckoning us to the chariot of our dreams. No interwebs, no reviews online. Just pick Continue reading

Successful Specs
Hanging out at the breakfast table, Hubs reaches for an article to read. Oops. Can’t see clearly. Now, where are those readers? Glancing around, none in sight. I know I have a dozen pairs of dollar store helpers around this house, but where did I carry them? He gets up, searches a bit, finds three Continue reading

All Weather Friend
Coasting through life. Sounds good! Just easy living. No worries. Nothing dramatic, just comfortable. Yes, I would like fries with that. We dream of 70 degrees year round, with perfect sunny days and palm trees lining our waterfront view. Utopian daydreams of a place that doesn’t exist. Closest thing to this dream land Hubs and Continue reading

Cease Striving
Cease striving. The world has an abundance of clanging cymbals. It takes time to show the Father’s love. Slow down! Enjoy the ride. Wander. Rest. Abide. If we believe that everything kingdom-minded is diametrically opposed to the rat race of the world, then why do we continually find ourselves marching to the beat of that Continue reading

The Dance
Yeah, so I’m that girl. The one who cries at every father/daughter dance at a wedding reception. Not just a little tear brushed off my cheek. Oh, no. The ugly cry. The big tears, shuddering shoulders, and an occasional sound of the boo hoo. These are tears of joy, mind you. A visceral response to Continue reading

The Fallout (Judas Part 3)
In all the midnight garden confusion, God’s plan began to unfold. Jesus was arrested. The disciples were left to fend for themselves, and in usual fashion, Peter winds up in another overzealous fit of his own pride. Peter would be found denying Jesus while warming his hands by enemy’s fire. While Jesus is being denied Continue reading
