Today I am writing from a place of pain and disappointment. Not a place I want to be. I would much rather be in a place of joy and victory. Nevertheless, I can always find my faith at work, because God is always working even when I don't see or feel it. Where is my …
Name It and Claim It?
Do you remember this movement in the church? I do. I remember claiming things "in Jesus name" expecting the results for which I prayed. When I didn't see my prayers answered, I was sure I wasn't doing things right, or I didn't have enough faith. This week has brought this conflict back into my consciousness.My …
Not So Contented
I am humbled and quieted in your presence. Like a contented child who rests on its mother’s lap, I’m your resting child and my soul is content in you. Psalm 131:2 TPT If I'm being honest, I truly thought this time would bring me into a closer relationship with God. I had thought all this …
Having a Tantrum Day

The Light of Success
Is there anyone out there willing to admit they have a fear of failure? 🤚 I’ll admit it. Too many times I have started something only to get to a point I don't know what to do next, or the next step is one I'm not ready to take. It starts to get into my …
