I’ve just returned from my writers conference with mixed emotions. On one hand, I met some major goals and learned some usable information. On the other hand, I now have new information that I’ll need to put pen to paper, as the saying goes, and incorporate those lessons into my writing. It feels like I’ve …

The prayer in my reading today was very timely. This week I leave for the Realm Makers Conference in St. Louis, and the panic is starting to set in. The Bible plan I’m reading is about trusting God and today was about how Moses felt insufficient. God asked him, “What is in your hand?” The …
One of the twelve disciples, Thomas (nicknamed the Twin), was not with the others when Jesus came. They told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he replied, “I won’t believe it unless I see the nail wounds in his hands, put my fingers into them, and place my hand into the wound in his …
I was thinking about the saying, “an audience of one” the other day, as it pertains to my mindset for writing my novel. I questioned if that was a biblical concept. Did God only want me to write to please Him or did he have a greater intention? Here are my thoughts. First, what scripture …
Peace with God.

Proverbs 10:5 TPT (parenthesis are mine) Don’t you love when God speaks clearly by multiple avenues? That’s been my experience this week. Between my Bible plan …
“That’s just the way I am.” Have you ever felt that way? Or maybe—“I’m too broken, God can’t fix me.” Or even—“My son/daughter will never come back to Jesus.” We try and we try to be the person we think we should be, and we pray and we pray for our lost loved ones. But …
My last post was Sent, where I looked at who was sent and who did the sending. I wasn’t expecting a part two, but God had other plans. As I waited for today’s inspiration, this song came on the radio: CAIN - The Commission. When my niece posted on Facebook this morning, that my ex-sister-in-law …
For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? And how …
Are you feeling it yet? The pressure of the new year? I was falling into thoughts of guilt this morning. Guilt if I sat down and played my games on my iPad. Guilt if I didn’t start working on my goals. Guilt for wanting to read instead of doing laundry. I believe these guilty feelings …
