Tantalized
God has shown me time and time again—
When we, when you, when I, when all of us face difficulty, opposition and the oppressive hands of every enemy of God—
We aren’t to ask “why?”
In the midst of trouble, we need to look around and see what kind of seeds on the ground can be found.
We can KNOW that God is cultivating.
He is fertilizing.
He is creating a move of His Glory that is tantalizing.
He is marinating and soaking His Goodness and Favor in a situation, in a foundation, in a person, in

Just Be
Never chase a goal so hard you forget to have fun with it.♥️
I’ve been going through some old photos—compiling them from all the various shows I’ve done over the years. I have a specific purpose for this complication for myself and my training. It’s interesting and useful to see how I’ve changed my physique over the years. Change happens small and over time. Pictures help with perspective.
As I go through them, I am reminded there’s been quite a few and I’ve now been doing this more than just a year

What Is This Grace?
It may not be your fault someone strongly dislikes you. But it is your fault what you do with it and how you handle it.
Instead of anything—rest back in the Father’s heart. Unite your soul to His. Allow your Way Maker to breathe possibilities and positive inspirations to your soul.
Relationships can be slippery. You don’t always know how people tick, what speaks to them and what sets them off. You may find out by mistake over and over again. They key to having healthy relationships is

Delivered
I have five children, but was only able to deliver the first one naturally. My second child I was enduced having not gone into labor on my own so a petosin drip line was given to me and then the doctor said, “let’s wait and see”.
Many hours later I should have been ready to deliver, all the signs lined up and I was “ready”. But something wasn’t right.
My son had trouble getting in the correct position to deliver the entire pregnancy. At one point during the

Bring Me An Apple
The apple of the eye is the absolute dead center of the pupil. Wherever the apple rests, it is completely focused and attentive. I have deep admiration for people who can look others dead in the eye when they speak, fully focused, not distracted, not gazing over your shoulder, not shifting their eyes…focused. It’s like a laser point of intention fixed on a mark. You know you have that persons full attention and they are both powerful and passionate about what they are trying to communicate.
You are the Apple of

When Love Walks In
You are the God of the perfect timing…
It’s God’s nature to love you all the time. It may be difficult to accept God’s Love. After all—you don’t deserve Him. He knows all of this and still chooses to cradle His heart around you. Because that’s what He wants to do! This is what the truest, purest form of love would do. It’s hard to wrap our mind around a God so dedicated to imprisoning you. That’s right…He, when released by our will to have full access to our heart,

Sweet Smells & Heaps of Kindness
Fruit Pie…
The Lord is good and His Tender Mercies endure forever. Fragrant is the sweet smell of kindness. Aromatic are the fruit of the Spirit as they leave a trail of essential goodness.
Have you ever walked into a house while a fresh fruit pie was baking in the oven? Heaven, right? The smell is so delicious, so inviting and brings a sense of comfort and “home” even if it’s not your home.
This is how it is with the fruit of the spirit.
As we demonstrate these virtues as

Whole ♥️ Heart
One of the ways the Holy Spirit moves is by using stories that we can relate to. Stories in the Word. Stories in the lives of others. Stories we hear from others. I guess God loves a good story. He understands that life is a story and it is one worth telling.
When I read about the crucifixion of Christ in the Word I can hardly get through it. I can read and try to imagine the physical pain and anguish he consumed, but I haven’t had a lot

Well…
Hello there.
What an excellent day.
I hear it was Heaven made.
But what exactly does that mean to you?
For me…this is what it means. A Heaven made day means something different to everyone, but here’s a glimpse into my heart and what stirs me deeply.
I love the free expression my heart yields in His Presence. It is frequently found in my pen, but when I speak it is found there as well.
He brings out the best in me.
What brings out the best in you?
I am fully aware that I am
