A Day in the Life of a S.U.M.
Hello, my dear friends! How I missed you this past week. I shared in my last post that my hubby and I were off to a get-away to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and have some R&R. Our destination? Kauai, Hawaii. Yes, truly and for real. This was our first time to visit this tropical…

Weekend Worship – Psalm 150
Praise the Lord. 1 Praise the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. Father God, no matter where we are, we will praise your Holy and Mighty Name. You are our Mighty Savior, our One and Only. You are ALL we need. 2 Praise him for his acts of power;…

Receiving Grace
Last week I spent five days and four nights in Dallas, Texas at the American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW) conference. This was my eighth year to go and yet again God had some things to show me. Maybe you're wondering why I'm sharing this here since I keep my fiction side (nonfiction authors call it…

Weekend Worship – Psalm 149
Praise the Lord. Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise in the assembly of his faithful people. Lord, hear our songs of worship and take them as our offering of love and adoration. And thank you for singing over us! We adore you! 2 Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the people…

Forget the Devos. Let’s Worship!
My friends, I sensed God’s leading this week to change our Weekend Devo to Weekend Worship. We are a community bonded together by a common desire to see our loved ones know God as we do and our hearts are knitted together by a love for Jesus and each other. Lynn and I are continually…

We’ve Reached The End. Or Is It Really the Beginning?
My friends, I’m impressed that it’s time to bring our Kingdom Come To Earth series to a close. I truly have so much more to share with you about praying for anointing and about how the Holy Spirit is intricately involved in our worship experience. But, I’m thinking it’s time to leave what we have…

On The Fast-Track – Kingdom Come to Earth
My friends I’m sitting in my tiny office overwhelmed with expectation. I’ve had encounters with God this week that still freak me out. I feel like I’ve been thrust on the fast-track to come up to speed with the Holy Spirit. And next week I’ve asked my friend Janet to share an astonishing encounter with…

Grace and Mercy
Hey Everyone, I’m writing this on a Thursday morning. After arriving home from Little Rock, I’ve been balancing school meetings, back to school was Wednesday, my son and his girlfriend arrived for a visit, my daughter dropped a quart jar of salsa on her toe, spent the day in urgent care, canned another 10 quarts…

More Than Just Waiting, Part 2
Yesterday I left you with the question, what is the key to this? In other words, what is the key to worshiping God even as we wait? Back up to verse Isaiah 40:26: “Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens:” What if that lift of our eyes is a constant state of awareness-constantly…

More Than Just Waiting, Part 1
In June of 2008 I wrote a series on waiting (has it been that long?!?!?). And we have talked about waiting on God in our marriages A LOT. I’ve come to believe that waiting is a constant part of our faith journey. We wait for prayers to be answered, we wait for God to open…

Worship – He’s in the Music
Okay, I’m going to admit that I’ve become a fanatic. I want more. I want more of God’s presence. I want to experience the supernatural to receive God’s glory so I can deliver it with authority. So, guess what I did. I went to church twice. Ahem, yep. Saturday night and then again on Sunday…

Worship… God is Not Cheap!
Dineen and I had an amazing time in Little Rock. We will share more about that when we find out the broadcast dates. Here we are in front. Thank you for your prayers and your words of encouragement Monday. We literally teared up as we read them utterly thankful that God brings all of you…

In Search of Worship
I’m on a mission right now. And no, my name isn’t Lexie Baltimore. (wink) No, my mission has to do with figuring out how to hear God more clearly in my life. Does that resonate with you, because it’s a need that’s driving me a bit crazy at the moment. Perhaps it’s the chaos that…

Now Stand Back My Friends and Be Astonished
Now stand back my friends and be astonished. Throughout history God’s divine plan and purpose is to dwell with people. From Adam and Eve to this very day, His passion, His relentless purpose is to share His glory, for us to live in His perfect will and to experience the life of the divine. From…

What’s The Point????
Part I Part II Part III Part IV Part V Where have we traveled on this journey so far? King and High Priest Melchizedek. God’s presence on earth.Captivity, slavery. God is silent 400 years. Moses appears on scene. A new covenant of the law is given. A…

LIft Up Your Face
In case you haven't figured this out yet, I'm a huge Third Day fan. I find their music so worship-filled and inspiring. And when I listen to music like that, I begin to hear God's voice. Seems to just work that way for me. For Lynn, it's her prayer walks. For me it's music. Another…

Where Did It Go?
Part I Part II Part III Part IV I have to say this has been one of the most empowering and purposeful series I have ever participated in. In the comments last week was this: Jennifer said… After much contemplation in these passages, I and my sister have formed an opinion of sorts about King…

God’s Kingdom Come to Earth
Part I Part II So why is King Melchizedek vital to our story? If you remember from Monday, Abram conquered a vast army with a mere 318 men. Men who were “trained” by Abram to pray, to worship to know and serve the one true God. My friends, Abram didn’t doubt that through his prayer,…

The Royalty Mentality
In our post on Friday I hope you caught a few different things. There are Kingdom battles. We can win those battles even when facing insurmountable odds just like 318 men faced a vast army. Training is key to victory. Let’s pick up our story with Abram. He returns from his victory and is greeted…

Kingdom Authority… But how do I get it?
Hi Everyone, I’m filled with so much I want to share with you that I’m fit to be tied. I want to blurt it all out all at once because it’s so exciting. I’m bouncing in my seat to share with you what I know about God, His Kingdom and much, much more. So what…
