"What I say to you in the dark (privately), tell in the light (publicly); and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim from the housetops [to many people]." – Matthew 10:27
The Lord has shown me over the last couple of months that THANKSGIVING CONQUERS DISAPPOINTMENT. While waiting on certain things to come to pass, as I have thanked God in advance for them, old feelings of disappointment or discouragement have just not been able to stick, and I have found myself experiencing more and more [...]
A few weekends ago, I had the absolute honor of leading worship at a women’s conference called Wildfire, all about encountering God and realizing that you can't be too on fire for Him. The leaders weren't messing around because during the first session we dove headfirst into watching the scene in the movie The Passion [...]
When I was in L.A. for Bethel’s Heaven Come Conference, I received some encouragement during an afternoon session from someone on the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry Team. She said many things to me, but part of it was about receiving from God in the season that I’m in. Now, almost every time I get [...]
I am learning that nothing is too small to talk to God about. If I ever have the conscious thought that, “Oh, that’s not that big of a deal – I don’t have to ask Him about that,” then I must ask myself whose voice I’m actually listening to; that of the enemy or the [...]
I’m realizing more and more how God has made me to be confident and content in Him. Things that used to seriously drag me down simply no longer do. Obviously, I am imperfect, and there are times when this is harder than others, but for the most part, I truly feel that there has been [...]
Today is my birthday (October 21)! Some people say they hate birthdays, but I absolutely LOVE them and I always will. Why? It’s like my own personal New Year! I choose to look at it as another year of the Lord walking with me and leading me into new territory, another year of growth and [...]
God put it on my heart to write this blog well over a month ago, but He didn’t give me the ability to complete it until now. It’s not just about the writing or reading of information, but the retaining of it, so hopefully this blesses you and sets you free as much as it [...]
This blog is more of a testimony than a lesson, but Bethel’s Heaven Come Conference in Los Angeles, California was one of the most special and beautiful weekends of experiencing God’s presence, favor, and blessing in my life. This entire year for me has been such a whirlwind of adventure through travel and new experiences, [...]
I love rainbows. I always have. They are a reminder of God’s never-ending promises to His people and they’re just flat out beautiful. However, I began to love them even more when after one very hard night of asking God about His will for my future He gave me a dream in which there was [...]
I’m reading a book by Shawn Bolz right now called “God Secrets” in which God has highlighted a message to me that is deeply touching my heart. Discernment...we all have it in some way or another. It is, according to Merriam-Webster, the quality of being able to grasp and comprehend something that is obscure. It [...]
