How God Stretches Us!
Hi friends, Ann here. We’ve just had Pentecost, a day when the Holy Spirit came with power upon the early church. What a moment! I can only imagine what those disciples felt when they saw fire on each other’s heads. They must have surely been scared but excited. One time I had an experience in…

The Enemy Cannot Handle This!
Sunday, September 29th is the beginning of Rosh Hashanah. We’ve talked about this Jewish holiday over the years. In fact, the first time I’d ever been made aware of it’s significance was because of a blog post from either Lynn or Dineen. For those who are not familiar or are new to this holiday, a…

MORE From The Summit…
Hey SUM family, Tiffany Here! During the leader's meeting on the Friday morning before the conference I said I would share a spoken word piece during the offering time. I didn't have anything prepared at the time of volunteering. In fact I just heard the words come out of my mouth. You know those moments…

God Of The Impossible
HOPE Part II Last week I wrote about HOPE. It's a weird thing when God takes you through a season of change. I discovered quickly that the enemy will pounce on every insecurity, past wounding and bring every difficulty in your life to the forefront in an effort to torment. In the past week, I've…

God Answers Me. A Supernatural Encounter
Good Morning, On Monday we chatted about how to recover from enormous disappointment. And in the comments some of you shared how this unequally yoked life is filled with loneliness. I think I will have to write about walking alone because truly I found myself facing a future, perhaps the rest of my life, empty…

Disappointment Recovery
Good Monday Morning my SUMites! It’s Sunday afternoon as I write this note to all of you. I just went back and re-read the comments that you left for me last Monday on my post, Devastating Disappointment. I’m undone. By your love. Undone by of our shared tears. Humbled to the core for your prayers,…

Yep, us two girls packed the tackle box, the poles some provisions and are in the mountains praying a rainbow trout will be our dinner. And yes, we clean them ourselves. eeeek… gross. I…

Part the Jordan River, Part III
(Part IV of our current Series: Parting the Red Sea and Parting the Jordan River.) Good Monday Morning Sumites. This is going to be a fantastic week. And I think we are going to discover what can happen in an ordinary believer’s life when we take a step of faith and then step out in…

Weekend Worship – Lay Me Down!
My precious Sumites, I love this song by Chris Tomlin because it's about the surrendered life and the JOY of living like we belong to Jesus. Because we do! We are His and He is ours. This is also what Scripture means when it says, "the joy of the Lord is our strength" (Neh. 8:10.)…

Part the Jordan River
Hey SUMers! Did you enjoy the read through Joshua 3:1-7? I wonder about something. When you read the OT passages do you kinda view the people of the stories as characters. Like a character in a fiction book? Well, Joshua is a real man. He lived on this planet and I can’t wait to meet…

Where is the parting of my Red Sea?
I’m wondering if you’ve noticed??? There has been a shift in our atmosphere here among the Sumites. This house has gone through a transition in the last six months. Dineen and I have talked about this transition a lot but what was really cool is that last week I was talking to Beverly Etzel, one…

Self-Love And The Battle At Hand
As we leap into 2013 and prepare for the series on Spiritual Warfare, I want to set the tone for that study. In December we spent some time talking about the love of God. We talked about moving our relationship into deep intimacy. (Read Can You Pray "Good Morning Daddy?”) What I have come to…

Can You Pray “Good Morning Daddy?”
I want to say a couple of things before we move forward in this series. Reading the comments left after the last two posts, it’s obvious to me that God was right (like always). There many of us who He is revealing His desire to move our love relationship into a deeper intimacy. I think…

He Breathed On Me, Part III
Part I Part II There’s a shift in the atmosphere. I can’t explain it. Well perhaps I can. Since returning home after my re-sign, the new gifts I received have been developing. It’s been a rocky and rough development. I’m tripped up with road blocks from the enemy and from my own doubts and unbelief.…

He Breathed On Me
Okay, I left you last week with this astonishing story of a girl who was ordered by the God of the Universe to free my husband from the prison cell where “I” had placed him. Can I just say: OUCH! Well what I have to share today is not only my husband’s freedom but mine…

Taking Off The Badge
Sometimes are you overcome and overwhelmed with the sheer love and patience God bestows upon you? Ya? Glad it’s not just me. His relentless persistence to get through to my heart and more, my thick-head, is astounding. In the weeks since the conference, I feel like I’m reading scripture for the first time. I’m in…
