Shift Happens…
I was in Wisconsin ministering at an incredible church a few months back. While there I was presented a sticker from a message one of the pastors preached. It said, “Shift Happens.” I laughed so hard. But every time I looked at the sticker, I felt like I was sinning. I couldn’t get my default thinking from…

Disappointment – The Enemy’s Trap to Steal Your God-size Appointment!
Our disappointment lies in the fact we believed God would perform differently than He did. But it was us who put an expectation or expiration on God – not that God failed us. He did not fail. We have failed to trust Him with what we don’t understand.

Living Unfiltered….Breaking Shame
There are a lot of things in life that define us. Unfortunately, sometimes it takes years to peel back the layers of lies to see what should and shouldn’t be those defining marks.

Beautifully Broken…
I am sure if you’re reading this, then you have felt the stuckage of that deep pain in the pit of your stomach when, what you believed would happen, just doesn’t. When, what you prayed for feels as though it goes unanswered. It’s a tormenting feeling to see a severing of hope from a deep…

Hinder OR Host…

My Enemies Prayer List…
Have you ever had someone reject you or treat you unfairly? If not, give it a few weeks and I’m certain you will experience some kind of hurt.

Listening Prayer…
Most of my life, I have been taught prayer is more about talking to God, than about listening to Him. I remember In my younger years of being discipled; being given a model on how to study the Bible, I was taught to posture my heart and body in Worship, and even, coached on how…

Illegal with Permission
For months I have been praying, along with the Awe Star staff, that God would give us favor wherever we would go. Psalms 90:17 reads; “Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us; And, confirm for us the work of our hands; Yes, confirm the work of our hands.” We experienced this…

COVID-19 VS GSPL-20

There’s Gonna Be A Miracle!!
I remember a Co-worker, years ago, telling a story about when she was teaching in a children’s Sunday school class. It was a preschool class if I remember right.

HOW we love shows WHO we love…
Recently, I met with someone whom I was counseling with on the difficulty of ‘Hard Love’. You know, the kind of love that your heart knows you’re to engage in, but your flesh fights it with all resilience. It’s that kind of love that only Jesus talks about. The kind of love that makes you…

Living ‘Unoffendable’
We live in a culture now that whatever you do it seems as though everyone is easily offended. One wrong interpretation of a statement can mean a social media blast or even worse, a stain on the intent of your character. I am amazed at the things people get offended at. Vaccinating or not vaccinating,…

Broken wholeness…
Just recently, I returned from a mission trip working with Syrian Refugees. It was such a unique experience.

His Presence…
As I pray over 2019 I asked God to give me a word for His desire for my life, my ministry, my family and my purpose this next year. As I sat and listened in prayer I heard the word, ‘PRESENCE.’ Not in an audible voice, but in a moment of quiet reflection of listening.…

The Place Of The ‘Unknown’….
Walking in the ‘Unknown’ place is one of the hardest things in obedience to Jesus. During my life I have experienced a lot of the ‘Unknowns’. I’m sure in your life you have too. I remember when I was young I would think about the future and often become anxious. How would I do…

But lately, when I reflect…

Gifting Without Terms…..
Our family has been through a lot of transitions over the last year. In August all my kids began attending a new school. It’s a great school but, my kids have really been struggling.

Lord, Renovate My Heart…
Recently I have been engaged in a renovation project that has made me face unexpected lies tucked away deep within my heart. When I was in Middle School I had to take my first ‘Shop’ class. I still remember to this day when I had to face “The Drill Press” for “the first time”! I was…

When RISK is Right…
“At Some Point Risk Doesn’t Matter, You Just Have to Follow The Call!” These words ricocheted in my heart as I tuned in more closely to the Persecuted Believer that was speaking them. At that point in his ministry, risk was a norm. Little did he or anyone else know that one day it would…

It’s Time To Dream BIGGER…
For years I have lived with what I believe was an ‘Unmet Expectation’. Or another way to phrase it is, disappointment!’ I believed since I was young that I would, at some point, be living on the mission field in a ‘closed’ country. I felt the Missionary Calling when I was around 14 years old.…

Living Your Passion…FULFILLED…
The last 6 months I have been reflecting a lot on what it means to walk out our ‘calling.’ When I say, ‘calling’ I mean- obedience to a specific mission or assignment God has placed upon your life. For most of my life I have lived ‘On-Mission’ trekking among some of the most primitive tribes…

Finding ‘Felt Safety’ in Jesus…
Recently I have been thinking a lot about the difference between ‘feeling safe’ – verses – ‘actual safety’. In the ‘Therapy’ world this is referred to as ‘felt safety’ In Psalms 91, God assures us, “ He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.” I…

God-size Vision…
Several years ago I began to realize that my ‘vision’ was diminishing. Now I’m certain it was genetic and NOT due to the fact I was getting older. Ok maybe ‘age’ did play a small part. 🙄 So,,,, I did what every responsible adult would do. I went to my local Vision Doctor, got an…

Who Told You That?
This past year I have been doing a lot of ‘soul-searching’ to discover what ‘lies’ I have adopted as ‘truth’ in my life.

“What My Momma NEVER Told Me…”
Here lately I’ve been thinking about what it means to live Authentically, Serve Fearlessly, and Love Whole-Heartily. Thinking on these things took me to the book of Genesis chapters 1 and 2.

THE GOSPEL TRUMPS EVERY FAIRY TALE…
Recently I had the opportunity to sit with some folks that were walking in a lot of hopelessness.

I Choose…
This morning I woke up with a promise that “His mercies are new EVERY morning.” The last few months have been a little rough.

How Looking Back Helped Me TRIUMPH In Moving Forward…
It was 1999 and God had gripped my heart and called me to go live in West Africa. In obedience I bought a one-way ticket to Africa! It was one of the most exciting and scariest times of my life. I was sure that God was going to move powerfully in this dark Islamic Country.…

How Turning my Home into a House… Unpacked Eternity In My Heart.
Recently, my husband and I have had to make some serious decisions. We have felt God calling us to step into a new ministry. This new step is requiring us to uproot our family, home, jobs, ministry and comforts in order to obey. Needless to say, this has brought some BiG changes for our whole…

Did You Know… You Don’t Have To FLEX Anymore!
So in the recent months I have picked up a new habit of going to the gym. You see for the last two years God has been convicting me of getting in shape. As much I knew His voice was speaking, I kept delaying obedience. Now – I know I’m not alone! How many times…

I Had Been Asking The Wrong Question, For Years…
It seems like yesterday I was just a kid trying to figure out all the big decisions in life. What classes should I take? What test did I need to pass to qualify for the college I desired? What career should I choose? Who will I marry? Or is God calling me to singleness? The…

Does God Ordain The “Spiritual” Sucker Punch?

What Naked People Taught Me About The Gospel…
It was on the brink of the early 2000‘s around 2001. I had the opportunity to go into northern Uganda. It was the first time I wore a bulletproof vest to take the gospel to an Unreached people group. This people group didn’t have a Bible or Church in their own language. They were known…
