    Weekend Worship – A Year of Intimacy: Jesus in Us

    And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever- increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. – 2 Corinthians 3:18 Earlier in the year I shared that Abba has spoken to my heart that this would be a year of intimacy.

    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

    Hello my beautiful friends! I'm so glad I'll be back full swing next week. I've missed you all so much. I've dipped into the comments frequently just to keep connected to you all and discovered many of us have been hit with more spiritual warfare these last few weeks. This has pushed me to dig

    On Earth As It Is In Heaven

    Good Friday morning SUMites Nation:  My friends, it looks like the enemy has stolen much from the family of the SUMites. The post on Monday moved my heart and I rose up with a righteous anger in prayer for all of you. I’m declaring through the love of Jesus that marriages, addiction, childhood, abuse, financial

    I Am Taking The devil To Court!

    Good Monday Morning SUMite Nation:  Did you know that three years ago today, Winning Him Without Words, was released?

    Trade in Your Yoke

    My friends, as Lynn shared on Monday, Abba so overwhelmed us that last day at the conference. For the spiritually mismatched to be called out and recognized in this way was deeply humbling and amazing! It brought me to tears as my heart burst for all of us here. And to be prayed for like

    Do We Believe It?

    My friends, I’d planned to write a very different post today about two very important things we need to know-who does God say He is and who does He say we are. But I think we’ve actually talked a fair amount about how important it is for us to understand who we are in Christ

    Spread the Love!

    My friends, I'm on a love journey.  When I was a little girl and a teenager, I believed love was the greatest force of all. That love conquered all. Though I can look back and see that this was Abba working in my life in so many ways, I didn't know Him and defined love

    A Feast During Our Fast

    Wasn’t it cruel of me to choose a photo of a feast during our fast? Ha. I really don’t intend to aggravate your hunger. This table, laid out with a holiday feast, relates to scriptures I want to share. Fasting from food does lead my mind to passages about food. Which of these do you

    What Happened in 2013?

    My friends, as we draw closer to our fast next week, I think it’s important that we look back and see what happened over the year. I love to look back at what I wrote in January before during our 2013 fast and see what promises and words Abba gave me came to fruition. And
