My friends, in just five weeks my hubby and I will be moving to Florida. Kind of… Let me take you to the beginning of this story, where this all began-Christmas 2010. We’d driven to Florida to spend Christmas with our family there that year. One day I was at my mother’s with my daughter…

Does Jesus Heal Today?
SUMites, Where to begin. Let me ask you a question. Do you believe God still heals? Can He cure cancer, heal the blind restore hearing in the deaf? If you are a SUMite, I know you said yes. I know you said that because we MUST believe in great miracles of God’s love and kindness.…

Lord, Do It Again!
Last week I shared a Word of Encouragement that God impressed upon me about how He’s about to turn things around. Today I want to add a little more to that message-something else God showed me this last week, but first I want to share a powerful tool. This last week I’ve noticed Psalm 91…

Our Greatest Promise (Part 2)
Happy Friday, my friends! Let’s finish what we started on Wednesday. I left off with an analogy of the Holy Spirit flowing in our lives like blood in our veins and how it’s important to keep the “flow” free of unrighteous impediments. As I said at the end of Wednesday’s post, the Holy Spirit helps…

My friends, the Transforming the Mind series is continuing. Abba keeps giving me more and more to learn and share with you. What I love so much about this is that as I teach it I’m learning it as well. Just like what it says in Romans: You, then, who teach others, do you not…

Is God Good?
My Friends, I don’t even know where to start. So much has happened in the last seven days that I feel like every morning I wake, God has another “Holy Mind-Blow” in store for this ordinary, 5’4″, blonde girl. Do you remember back several months ago that I promised breakthrough. Well, boy howdy, I’ve had…
