Weekend Worship – My Random Act of Kindness (RAK)
It wasn’t an ordinary day for us. It was a landmark day. It was a day that would hold more meaning than I expected. Our agenda that day was to get Leslie’s yearly MRI done and behind us so we could focus on Thanksgiving. It’s routine now and thankfully down to a yearly check to…

A Tale of Prosperity
My friends, I have some news to share and I’m so happy I can share it with you, especially since so many of you prayed for me and my family over our financial situation. But let me start at the beginning of this God-filled story. At the end of each year I begin praying for…

Weekend Worship – Puppy Love
Let me tell you a story about a dog named Riley. Except that wasn't his name when we first met him. This wayward pup followed my husband and I one day as we walked the park. When we attempted to get a closer look and see if he had a collar, he dashed away. My…

Weekend Worship – The Presence of God
My friends, so much happened during our time at Bethel at the Open Heavens conference. I will share some of the highlights starting today and continue next week. The moment walked into the church you could feel a change in the atmosphere. I don't think I've ever felt it quite so strongly. We followed the…

Who Prayed for You?
Dear friends, I’ve shared in the past that I didn’t grow up in a Christian home but at about age 4 or 5 I remember taking a bus to Sunday school. It wasn’t until I reached my teen years that I started to seek God for myself but even then I hadn’t a clue what…

Blessed to Wash Feet
My friends, many of you have sent me messages of congratulations on winning the Carol Award in the mystery/suspense/thriller category for The Soul Saver at the ACFW Conference this last weekend. Thank you for sharing my joy! To say that this is the realization of a dream is an understatement. I am so blown away…

Weekend Worship – What did Jesus do?
Jesus answered, “Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while he is with them? But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; in those days they will fast." – Luke 5:34 (NIV) My friends, I hope this week has been pivotal to you. I just want to reassure…

Martha’s Miracle!
My precious friends, you've seen Martha Bush's name many times in the comment. On Mother's Day, she sent this email to Lynn and I-the story of a miracle! And it's a story to be shared! Wow! I have a testimony of praise on this Mother's Day. I left my home in Orange Friday morning…

A Step of Faith
My precious friends, God has put a fire in my heart to speak to you about taking a step of faith. There is something God is calling many of us to do-something unique to our place and time and season-and He’s given you a promise that goes with this. And maybe you’ve prayed and waited…

Weekend Worship – Holy Hummingbirds, Batman!
My wonderful and precious friends, I wish we could all be in one room worshipping God together. What a sweet incense that would be, rising up to our Lord, wouldn't it? The beautiful part is, one day we will get to do this. Our room will be the throneroom of heaven and we will all…

Weekend Worship – Jehovah-Jireh, The Lord Will Provide
Yep, there it is. My "new" set of wheels. My dear friends, I've taken you on this car journey with me, first sharing my family's finanical challenges, the need to sell my "beloved" SUV, and then the search for another car. Nothing "magically" appeared but I consider God's provision in this whole scenario as pretty…

Born to Create
I have a bone to pick. Something that has bugged me for years. It's not quite on topic with being spiritually mismatched but then again, this one change in your thinking could change every aspect of your life. Care to pick that bone with me? It's about creativity. For as long as I can remember…

Weekend Worship – A Testimony
My precious friends, I can't believe Christmas is so close! As the day draws closer, I'm trying to keep my heart and mind wrapped around the miracle that God brought so long ago and keep my eyes open for the ones He's doing right now. I want to share one with you. My rep at…

Weekend Worship – Let Your Love Loose!
Like Lynn said in yesterday's post, love has the power to conquer all. As I read that a fuller impact of what it means really hit home. This is something I've known since a child. Not sure how other than God just wired me that way, but I never fully understood what kind of love…

Weekend Worship – Keep Going!
A few weeks ago as I was out walking and praying, AND having one of those days that I was truly struggling with some decisions and issues in my life, I came across this garbage can on the side of the path. I read the message (which wasn't there a couple days earlier when I…

Pray With Power, Real Power
I’m writing to you on a Sunday afternoon. The rain has been gentle outside. The birds at my feeder are engaged in boisterous tweets as they tussle for the seeds. My exhausted daughter is having a nap and I can hear the crowd noise coming from the family room where my crazed husband watches and…

God, I Need to Hear From You
Ever have one of those weeks where you end in a completely different place than where you started? That’s what happened to me last week and this was the prayer of my heart. God, I need to hear from You. I needed direction, guidance and affirmation. You name it, I needed. Life had taken a…

One More Story…
My friends, I don’t think I ever shared in detail about how things played out with my daughter’s cancer. Maybe it needed to be now so that I can share in context of how God comes, shows up and works in ways that are blatantly astonishing or the opposite, so subtle that we don’t realize…
