Sometimes We Miss…
We are all learning every day how to lean on God’s Big Broad shoulders a little bit better.
A few years back I was getting a manicure. I went to a salon that was by my sons school. Now, I may be one of the most loyal people you would ever know. I have a gal I go to FAITHFULLY for many, many years. But I was in a hurry and thought I would make an exception for the sake of my schedule. I had used this salon once in the

The Promise
The “Pinky Promise”…
“As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him.” 1Samuel 17:48
God tends to have a preference for the Impossible. That’s where He likes to work. The impossible seems to be His specialty. In fact, He does His BEST work when the odds are stacked against us.
David met up with a giant.
Moses opposed the leader of Egypt.
Daniel prayed when He was told not to. Esther stepped into territory she wasn’t allowed.
Ruth forsook her birthright for the Identity of God through

Clues
It’s the start to a brand new year and no doubt you’ve thought about what you might like to try and accomplish with it. Make your list, but don’t forget to allow the Lord to sift through it and move you in His timing and direction. He’s got some ambitious plans for you, too, and it will require focused attention to details when the demands of life and others begin to pull on you.
You can’t be everything to everyone, but you can be something to someone.
It only takes one to

Inhale…Exhale…

Keep Your Fire🔥 Burning…
Sometimes in life we have to be unafraid to let our heart show through. This is where true human connection resides. This is where true spiritual intimacy begins.
Most walk around with a veil over their heart. Some know it and put it there intentionally because of past painful experiences. While others build up a slow crusting of the softness of the heart over time. Like a callous formed from year after year of mistreatment or harsh conditions.
We see it’s evidence in our society. People are not able to look each

Rest🌹
True rest has to do with trust.
When we trust God for the day to day—moment by moment, we find our mind, our heart, our will in unison with His.
No matter the situation or circumstance we trust God to bless and protect and lift us up at His Appointed time.
You can rest in it.
You can trust it! ~Nicole🌹

Embody
Embody~
to give a concrete form to; express, personify, or exemplify in concrete form: to embody an idea in an allegorical painting.
We all stand for something in the depths of our heart, mind and soul. What is it you stand for? How does what you stand for exude from your soul?
If your soul could speak what would it say? How would others relate or be moved to breathe more deeply by the words it would speak? Would those words be spoken soft or sweetly? What would they evoke in the heart,

Eyes Wide…
“I could do it with my eyes closed”
Have you ever heard this expression or maybe even said it yourself? It implies a certain level of mastery at any given skill, art or ability. It suggests the activity is so second nature to a person they can do it well without even seeing what they are doing. They feel it. They know it. They own it.
How about trusting God?
Trusting God is a bit like doing something with your eyes shut. You can’t always see what He is up to. You

When you’ve planted seed you don’t have to worry about a thing. God can be trusted to bring to fruition that which He intended the seed for in the first place.
Have you ever had the Lord lean deep into your heart and ask you to do something that made no sense to your common sense? But there He was, His Faithful and Holy Spirit, whittling away at your rationale and poking holes in your well thought through intentions and gleaning something that wields strength from outside of common sense in
