The Key To Powerful Prayer
Leaving 5,774 behind. Rosh Hashanah 2014. Part Deux Part I I’ve learned a lot about the power of prayer this past year.

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…

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.

Don’t Know What to Pray?
Over the years I've learned that our mismatched situations come in all shapes and sizes. When I'm asked what mismatched means I explain that it can be as clear as one spouse believes in God and the other doesn't, as gray as differing faiths or degrees of faith (i.e. a believer married to a Muslim…
