Many Waters
“…HIS voice was like the sound of many waters.” -Revelation 1:15
God’s Word
Finding Strength in the Word When seeking the Lord about many waters this week, I kept coming back to a few simple truths. God’s Holy Word is infallible, and we must place our absolute trust in it. He has good plans for us—plans to prosper us and give us hope for...
Tending Hope
During the week of prayer and fasting the Lord was speaking to me about hope. I felt like He was reminding me of the hope He has given me. As I was seeking Him I had a picture of a seed in the ground. I felt like the Lord was showing me that the seed was hope. Within...
Good Plans
“ For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future .” (NIV) Jeremiah 29:11 has always been a popular verse, especially when I was in high school and about to graduate. I remember...
Ask for the Spring
Joshua 15:18-19 (ESV): 18 When she came to him, she urged him to ask her father for a field. And she dismounted from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, “What do you want?” 19 She said to him, “Give me a blessing. Since you have given me the land of the Negeb, give me...

Seven Times
How many times have you called out to the Lord? How many times have you prayed for God to answer a prayer and have yet to see it answered? Maybe a prayer of hope, excitement, love, desperation? Maybe it is a prayer that you have been praying for weeks, months, or even...
God Is Always On Time
Approach with Confidence
Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. (Heb 4:16) Sometimes I take for granted the wonder and absurdity of the invitation extended in Hebrews. That someone like me – in...
Do you trust me?
Sometimes I hear/see Aladdin asking this question to Jasmine in the movie, with his hand outstretched and that winning smile. Lately, God has been asking it to me…a lot. He says: Do you trust Me? Is who I AM enough? Or... - do you need to know why- do you need to know...
