Divine Appointments, Part 2
I’m so glad you came back to hear the rest of this story. And I know Lynn and I will come back with more stories too. It’s the last day of the Open Heavens conference. As I write this I haven’t a clue of what God has in store for us, but I know it…

God’s Preparation: The Cross
Dear friends, I believe this is the last post in this series about God’s preparation. We started with part one, about Trials and Challenges, moved to part two, Time + Honor = Fruit, and then last week delved into Recognizing God’s Preparation. Thank you for being so willing to share your hearts and stories. They…

Weekend Worship – Letting Go
I had a day last week where I so desperately needed to hear from God. So much was going on and there was so much I wanted to get done and do that I felt overwhelmed by all of it. I’m sure you can relate. I really hate that feeling and I don’t use the…

This Is For The MEN – Men of Valor
My friends, today this post is for the men. There are actually more men that are readers here than you might think. And let me assure you that they are men who love Jesus and who also love their pre-believer wife. They also struggle with many of the same issues that women wrangle with in…

The Aftermath
My friends, today I will finish my Bethel story but I want you to know that this adventure is far from over. Our journey with God is an ongoing adventure that unfolds on a daily basis. I’m stunned at times to go back and read in my journal what I’ve written down and then forgotten!…

Balm For My Pain
So on Friday I left you with my story of my return home from Bethel. This is the culmination of a long week and very long and a supernatural experience more fantastic than I can describe with sufficiency. So here we go. Are you ready? I’m lying in bed trying to fall asleep. But I…

The Bride – Becoming
On Monday I left you with the mind-blow image of becoming THE Bride of Christ. Did this vision mess you up or what? Well let’s keep moving because there is more my friends so much more. Last you saw me I was with Dineen bawling on her shoulder in the classroom. Thankfully, the class ends.…

His Name was Tyler…
Hello dear friends. Last week I left off with a promise that I would tell you the story of Tyler who prayed over this unsuspecting woman. I wish I had a recording of all he said. I think he spoke continuously for a good five minutes and said so much. Later I wrote down as…

Weekend Worship – The Presence of God
My friends, so much happened during our time at Bethel at the Open Heavens conference. I will share some of the highlights starting today and continue next week. The moment walked into the church you could feel a change in the atmosphere. I don't think I've ever felt it quite so strongly. We followed the…

Blessed to Wash Feet
My friends, many of you have sent me messages of congratulations on winning the Carol Award in the mystery/suspense/thriller category for The Soul Saver at the ACFW Conference this last weekend. Thank you for sharing my joy! To say that this is the realization of a dream is an understatement. I am so blown away…

Testimony Time!
My dear friends, I have something absolutely astounding to share with you today. I have shared in the past about my financial situation being very difficult. We are still walking in this and it has required deeper trust for me to believe God will take care of us. Every purchase, even those extra not-so-necessary food…

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…

He Holds Our Tears
My friends, Dineen here. Lynn let me hyjack the blog today because we agreed the messages I received from the Holy Spirit are so needed right now and time sensitive. Get ready to read and grab a tissue. God rocked my world and now He's about to rock yours. But Mary was standing outside the…

Martha’s Miracle!
My precious friends, you've seen Martha Bush's name many times in the comment. On Mother's Day, she sent this email to Lynn and I-the story of a miracle! And it's a story to be shared! Wow! I have a testimony of praise on this Mother's Day. I left my home in Orange Friday morning…

Miracles and Why God Doesn’t Heal
Hello SUMites! God has been beating me about on the head trying to share with me this “thing” I keep talking about. I’m trying to describe to you, our community, and to others I talk with in person this movement by God. It’s a movement in the spiritual realm that is bringing God’s Kingdom to…

What is God’s Will For Each of Us?
On Friday we left with the strange and fascinating story about Elijah. How he stepped out onto the mountain to haven an encounter with God. If you remember, (if you don’t’ remember, you MUST read Friday’s post) I’m seated in a Bible study addressing the leader as I’m speaking. I continued explaining my thoughts on…

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…

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…

The Prodigal and Our Unrelenting God
Good Morning, Lynn Here. If you have prayed for any length for a prodigal or a spouse to come to faith and feel like they are so lost, so far from God that it will never happen, then this story is for you. I want to introduce my friend, Angie Knight. I met Angie in…

A Step of Faith
My precious friends, God has put a fire in my heart to speak to you about taking a step of faith. There is something God is calling many of us to do-something unique to our place and time and season-and He’s given you a promise that goes with this. And maybe you’ve prayed and waited…
