Shame – Read my lips. . . .NO Condemnation!

Ok – here’s my first attempt at putting an audio file on my blog! You will probably want to go down and hit “pause” on the music player so that you can listen to this. I will also see if I am able to post it so you can download the file – and then put it on your ipod or mp3 player to listen to on the go! Here I go – diving a bit deeper into the world of technology! 🙂 This teaching was one that the Lord recently allowed me to do at our church’s Women’s Immersion Weekend – all about our Identity in Christ. I was one of 4 speakers. In preparing for this topic, the Lord showed and taught me alot … Read entire article »

Jesus loves me this I know . . .

We ALL know the children’s song “Jesus loves me”! We probably can’t even count the number of times we have sung that song throughout our lifetime . . . 100 times? 200? 1000? More? Jesus loves me this I know.For the Bible tells me so.Little ones to Him belong.They are weak, but He is strong. Yes . . . Jesus loves me.Yes . . . Jesus loves me.Yes . . . Jesus loves me.The Bible tells me so. I had an interesting conversation with one of my sisters recently. She has been struggling with severe anxiety and depression for several months now, but the Lord has been graciously healing her and is slowly bringing her out of the deepest valley she has ever experienced. She is … Read entire article »

Twilight – To read/watch or not?

One of the bloggers I occasionally follow recently posted a question to her readers that I was definitely interested in. I was looking forward to reading everyone’s comments about this topic – a controversial one within the Christian community (We have alot of “controversial topics” – don’t we? Jesus himself was controversial in His time too!). It was on the topic of the books and movie – “Twilight”. Here’s her post on Praise and Coffee. Below is my response to her query. Don’t be afraid to go DEEP! Lori 🙂 I’ve been reading the GREATEST love story ever!! I can’t get enough of it! It is full of mystery, wars, lust, adultery, betrayal, miracles, death, and more! Have you read it?! . . . If not – … Read entire article »

Prayer for the nation – and LOVE!

Here is a link to the mp3 recording of the national prayer conference call that happened on Thursday, Septemeber 24th, 2009. Please listen and pray along for our nation! God loves us – and wants us to return to Him – to be the bride He has created us to be. He wants to hold us close – to let us not just “know” that His heart beats for us – to just “know” that He loves us (“Jesus loves me this I know – for the Bible tells me so”) . . . . but He wants us to FEEL His love for us – to FEEL His heart beating for us. Our hearts are the source of our lives. If our heart were to stop beating – … Read entire article »

Fresh Produce . . . Now Open!

Fresh Produce . . . Now Open!

As I drove home a few days ago, I passed by a sign I’ve driven past hundreds of times before. It sits outside a scarcely frequented family owned produce shack near our house. I used to marvel at the consistency, dependability and patience of the older gentleman that would sit in his lawn chair day after day, all day long – just waiting for the few customers that would occasionally stop by to purchase … Read entire article »

God’s Plan for your Life!

< ![endif]–> While driving in the car recently, Jeremy and I were talking about the future – what God has for us, etc. I don’t really recall all of what we were saying or talking about – but Jeremy must have said something about not knowing what God’s plan was for his life, or if he was doing what he was supposed to be doing. All of a sudden, our 11 year old son piped up and said “Dad . . . I think God procrastinated on your life plan!” 🙂 We busted up laughing! 🙂 Do you ever feel that way? That God may have “procrastinated on your life plan”? Do you feel like you don’t know WHAT God has for you? Or did you have dreams long ago, but now you … Read entire article »

Perfection

I wanted to post my own personal testimony that I shared with my local MOPS group a few weeks ago. Sometimes you come across blogs or websites that you like – but wonder – who is this person writing all this really? Well – there are no secrets here! Satan likes to keep us in bondage through our secrets – and I, for one, am fed up with it! I am loving the freedom that Christ died on the cross to give me -and I want more of it! I know that God LOVES to take what the enemy meant for evil, and use it for good – to change lives, to set people free, to minister to our broken hearts,and more! You’ve got to read my other post called … Read entire article »
