The stupid church…
“His watchmen are blind, They are all ignorant; They are all dumb dogs, They cannot bark; Sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.”Isaiah 56:10 NKJV I listened to a teaching at a prayer congress today. It made my heart repentant and sorrowful for my part in the laziness and complacent nature of today’s church. Holy Spirit…

Frightening fantasy…
My fantasies have taken a frightful turn. They’re not even about me anymore. My utmost desire is to witness the healing power of God move. My immense and passionate hope is that the power of God be revealed in its fullness and that I am both a witness and a channel of His glory. It’s…

Don’t call him my stepdad….
Many complications have risen from me saying “my daddy” and having to specify… But I could never get behind calling the man who raised me and loved me and sacrificed for me – my stepdad. Yes, some say a step dad steps in but mine didn’t. He came running to my rescue, running to love…

You don’t have to pretend life doesn’t hurt…

Many beautiful love stories and fables begin with “once upon a time” and then there’s some climax and triumph of love that leads to the inevitable and oh so misleading “happily ever after”. Forget romance, forget the knight in shining armor. Jesus already saved you, you don’t need a husband or boyfriend for that! This…

Breakdown on the breakdown…
This weekend, I cried until my eyes burned. I sat in my shower and whimpered like an injured puppy, praying my daughter couldn’t hear me over the water running. Something I knew God sent me into, felt like it was falling apart right before my eyes and it hurt! I prayed and prayed and still…

I can’t take all the pressure…
I’m so afraid to fall. Sometimes I get petrified at the very thought of dropping the ball, of not being what I’m expected to be. After all, I’m responsible for those that look at me as a representation of Christ right? I think Pressure by Jonathan McReynolds hit the nail om the head for me – I’ve…
