This draft has been sitting in my queue since July. I knew I was feeling bitterness, but didn’t know what to do about it. I had GREAT conviction, but I wasn’t addressing the root. Well, the Lord works in mysterious ways. I recently took on a part-time gig with an online counseling ministry to manage…
I’ve really been learning about the biblical principle of sowing and reaping, not only from the Word, but from personal experience. It’s something that came up multiple times as I was reading Proverbs. I knew the Lord was speaking directly to me as this is an area He wants me to grow in and apply…
This subject has been on my heart for as long as I got saved. I am someone who has seen bad things happen to good people. I don’t have all the answers but I have been pondering this for awhile. I see all sorts of teachings in the church about authority (which the Bible does…
I listened to a John Bevere sermon recently that was called “multiply.” It was basically about the book he wrote on the judgment and entering into eternity (his book is called “Driven by Eternity” and he also has an audio CD/download called “Affabel: Window into eternity”). If your fear of the Lord isn’t healthy- this…
One thing I am learning in life, especially in this season of my life is to lean into Jesus. I once heard a statement that we are in a constant cycle between the wilderness and promised land. In a way, I feel I am in them both simultaneously. When I first got saved, I lost…
It is the week after Thanksgiving where everyone is speaking on what they are grateful for. I have to admit, I felt immediate conviction.

I’m going to piggy back off my last blog post of “perseverance” so if you haven’t read it yet, please go back and read! I had a promise and a word from the Lord, but I looked at circumstances instead of His promise. I knew I had to persevere, and the Lord taught me alot…
Most people don’t have an accurate view of the Lord. I’m not saying this to put myself on a pedestal or act like I know everything there is to know about God; I certainly don’t and am learning more about His character and nature daily. To be honest, what I thought I knew gets challenged all the…
Romans 5:3-5 says “Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.” I tried to…
The week my daughter was born I had a dream that I KNOW was from the Lord. Shortly after, I had another. It was a little strange and disturbing to the carnal mind, yet peaceful at the same time. In the first dream, I was in a tall building and saw chaos in the street…
