Bind Them To the Cross of Christ
Today, I want you to pray this verse over you unsaved spouse and children. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. -Matthew 16:19

This One Thing Will Change Your 2020
I’ve been learning about the power of communion. And it may appear counter intuitive to talk about the Lord’s supper when we are fasting but there is something here that is incredibly powerful. I believe we miss so much in the familiarity, so let me share what I’m learning.

Your Everyday- A Sign and Wonder
This ordinary girl finds herself in with the sheep as she struggles through her labor. She isn’t assisted by the angels through delivery, nor while she rode nine-months-pregnant on the back of a donkey. She merely went about life when she left Elizabeth as any other woman of her day. She washed clothes, made the…

She’s A Lot Like Me
So, will you go with me into this beautiful story about a teenaged girl named Mary. I want to share two things about Mary that I learned just this year. Perhaps you already received these gifts, but for me, what I uncovered is new and it changes me.

MIND BLOW – I Freaked OUT!! Ask Mike!
I opened up the PayPal account yesterday. I literally, LITERALLY, did a double take. The number sitting there was so unbelievable that I couldn’t take it in. I thought PayPal made a mistake. TRULY. Ask Mike. I freaked out. I cried.

SUM and a Donovan Clan Update
Hi SUM Nation, It’s time for a Donovan Clan update. And well, it’s difficult to share that my amazing husband is still diligently job searching. It’s interesting that when your older, finding gainful employment becomes more challenging. Hmmmm. And believe me I’ve done so much praying about all of it. I’m convinced I’ve heard the…

In this season of Thanksgiving, I welcome you to My Table. Washed and prepared, anointed with the oil of heaven, I beckon you to receive the plates…

Marriage Devotion – Patty Tower
Forgiving My Spouse Forgiveness is not just an act we do for someone else, it is more so an act we do for ourselves. Unforgiveness harbors resentment, bitterness, anger, and negativity. When we harbor these emotions, the act of portraying love faints away. Is that what I want for my marriage? I thought about what…

Thanksgiving and Kanye West
Now onto Kanye. First, I’m not a fan of his music, even his new album, Jesus is King. (No offense Kanye, just not my style.) I don’t know much about his life prior to his salvation experience other than he married Kim Kardashian. Weird that I even know that????

Marriage Devotion – Patty Tower
My spouse is worthy of praise & honor I read an article about a woman in church talking to a couple members about her husband, and everything she spoke out of her mouth regarding her husband was negative. The members began to think negatively about her husband and the character of the man she married.…

Waiting Upon the Lord – Chronicles of the Donovan Clan
I DON’T LIKE WAITING! But everywhere I turn the scriptures pop up. On websites I visit, social media. There is a song on my play list right now: Let’s Wait Upon the Lord! I’ve prayed a lot about waiting and I believe I have heard from the Lord about all of this financial mess.

Holy Assignment – SUMites PLEASE DO THIS!
SUMite Nation: I have a homework assignment for you. Several weeks ago, I found what I’ll call a “Dream List” tucked inside my Bible. It was written on September 14, 2015. I wrote out this list in the early dawn of Rosh Hashana that year. I apparently decided to scribble down my future hopes, prayers,…

SUMites, You Are Brave Enough…..
All of the undertones that we uncovered in Esther are powerful and new gifts to our faith. Today, I want to talk about the unequally yoked aspect of this story. I also want to point out Esther’s divine calling and how it’s fulfilled. In reality, all of us that are unequally yoked, could take a…

Esther – Destroy Christian Faith – On Repeat
Open your Bible to chapter three of Esther. Before we get started on Haman, I want to revisit the word, EDICT. This is a governmental word and a word of great power when spoken by royalty over a Kingdom. It’s power and significance landed squarely upon my spirit one night when driving down a California…
