Fortify
Can you feel the tug on your heart?
God wants his time with you.
I pray today you would begin to trust the Lord more than you ever have before.
Sink deep in his chest.
Let him wrap his strong arms around you and yield to your soul complete Peace and Rest.
Be blessed with the Kindness of Heaven.
Soak it in.
Drink deep.
Get some sleep.
You’re going to need your strength for the journey and adventures God plans for you to take.
Be touched by his heart to yours. May he lead you beside still waters and vanquish

Steps of Confidence
“ Nevertheless I am continually with you; You have taken hold of my right hand.” Psalm 73:23
You can walk confidently to the Throne of Grace.
When a child first learns to walk they wobble and wobble and frequently topple.
When our kids grow and learn to drive it can be a bit scary at times as they gain experience and skill.
As we step into new situations and scenarios of life we must take a step of faith first before God exposes the rest of His plans. This is how He does it

Not Your Average Cup of Jo
This morning I did something I do every morning…I drink a Spark from AdvoCare. It’s my morning come alive kind of thing that gets me moving and wanting to sing. All kinds of good nutrition and things that make your brain wake up. I enjoy an occasional cup of coffee, but Spark is about purpose. I guess I have my favorite flavor and drink that one almost everyday. But this morning something changed…it didn’t taste the same.
Something seemed different? I couldn’t quite put my finger on it so I took

Sculpted
You are the potter I am the clay…
Mold me and make me—
Have your own way.
The above are the lyrics to a song I remember singing in church growing up. What beautiful, surrendered and submitted truth they hold.
When we know who we belong to and how extraordinary everything he does is then we can get excited about the shaping process. We know he is up to something good!
So go ahead…sculpt your beautiful self!
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

Sharpened
Life is a delicate balancing act. You’ve got fortitude and strength. You have power to hold it together. Though gravity and outside forces pull against you and try to force you down, out and in directions contrary to the Destination designed for you- you shall not break. You may bend, and bending is good for it demonstrates a spirit of unity toward all that is good…
You will not break.
Dig Deep, Beloved…for loved deeply is who you are.
Live a life made Complete and shine brighter than the stars.
Iron sharpens iron…

Success Is A Journey
You are Extraordinary.
There isn’t another like you.
Heaven has never created another like you.
The saying goes “they broke the mold”…
And it’s true. Heaven was so smitten when it founded the Heavens and stars and had you in mind that when it came your time the delight of those stars couldn’t be counted. God, the Father, became a proud Papa the day you were but the twinkle in His eye. Even prouder the day you were born.
Do you believe it?
Can your heart receive it?
You are favored.
You are loved.
You have extraordinary gifts and

It Takes Strength
It takes a strong and secure man to lead. It takes a strong and secure woman to let him…
Several years ago God dropped this rocket in my heart, an analogy of why wives need to submit to their husbands leadership, that is so good and so true though a delicate subject.
If a person tends to see God as they see their earthly father, then a woman’s ability to submit and respect her husband is a reflection of how she submits and respects The Lord. Wow. Let’s all chew on that

Road To Radiance
I know many people going through trials they cannot fathom. I pray this encourage you today.
“Listen to advice and accept discipline,
and at the end you will be counted among the wise.” Proverb
“Open the eyes of my heart Lord.”
To see, to hear, to learn and grow. There’s love in discipline.
Beautiful is a heart that accepts reproof. When we realize sometimes we struggle not because we are being punished, but rather we are being loved.
There is beauty in forgiveness, humility, meekness, gentleness

Sweet Dreams
Encouragement for your day:
You don’t read a song, you sing it.
You don’t play and instrument, you touch it. Your heart and passion does the playing.
You don’t dream a dream,
you live it…
May the Arms of Abba Father keep you in a warm tight embrace that forces the sweetest smile to linger upon your face and you wake refreshed as you’ve never been before. His Peace be with you, upon you, and radiate from within you so others will feel His breath of freshness upon them too. Amen. Sweet Dreams.
Here’s to sweet

Unreserved Devotion
Unreserved Devotion—
Have you ever done something or gone somewhere that required you make arrangements long in advance? Maybe you went on a trip or dined in a fine restaurant? Perhaps you went somewhere that was a famous location and had to wait for your turn to get a glimpse of what made the place so special? You get the idea. You put your name in, so to speak.
You had to have a reservation.
I remember very early in my marriage my husband bought me tickets to go to San
