(Photo courtesy of Jorge Rojas, Unsplash) This morning as I was praying in my quiet time, the Lord began speaking to me and I penned what he wrote to share with you: “The theology and doctrine of man has invaded My Church. My Word is eternal and all others will fade. Cling to My word. […]

When I hear the words “Return to me” I think of a song by Dean Martin that includes these words: “Return to me Oh my dear, I’m so lonely. Hurry back, hurry back! Oh my love, I am yours.” (listen to the full song here.) This morning in my quiet time, the Lord took me […]

This morning the Lord was reminding me of the story of Esther and Mordecai in the Bible. He took me to a passage in Esther, Chapter 3 where the Jews are threatened in a plot to destroy their race. The scripture passage begins with King Xerxes honoring and promoting Haman to what you might call […]

I’ve made a habit of having my daily quiet time at my favorite little corner of my home in front of a window overlooking the backyard. We have a single tree, an oak, planted about 6 feet from our fenceline, in front of a creek full of beautiful trees and vines. The green trees and […]

Do you ever feel like you’re not enough? Just like today there are many times when my schedule gets a little out of hand, and I have to remind myself to rule over the day before the day rules over me. There are also a lot of things that I believe the Lord has spoken […]

Lord, help me find you today. I lay down my questions. I lay down my concerns for others. I lay down my schedule. I lay down my plans. I lay down my will. God, you are king over my family. You are Lord over my family. You are ruler over our circumstances. You will reign, […]
