Drink From The Well

Isn’t the point to lead others to that same well we once drew from? It is a place which represents the moment where we encountered Jesus and received His Living Water like the Woman at the Well. The “well” portrays a place where we left the cares of this life and heavy burdens of sorrow, shame, guilt and condemnation. In exchange for Himself, Jesus makes us new providing life eternal where we breathe deeper, walk lighter and take on anything the world brings with this new knowledge of how God is with us; Emmanuel! Nothing compares to the beautiful exchange which takes place at that well. Continue reading “Drink From The Well”

When Families Gather Again!

In a day and age when families are so far apart and Sunday dinners together don’t happen like they used to because of divorce, hurts, deaths or location
alone… I’m glad when we do get to come together because I can see a glimpse into how it will be in Heaven! No more heartache, no more pain, no more tears will there be- just honest to goodness unity. Reuniting with family members and getting to meet new ones will all come to pass! Oh, what a Day! Continue reading “When Families Gather Again!”

Mary Magdalene Turned Queen Esther (follow-up from “My Abortion” blogpost)

If you think Mary Magdalene can’t be changed into Queen Esther, you don’t know who Jesus is. Yesterday we went to place in a town we normally don’t venture through. As soon as we got there, I saw a man from my past with whom I got pregnant from and had an abortion with. My heart stopped for a moment when I saw him, and he saw me. He was with a woman. I was with my husband and children. He smiled. I smiled. Then, I looked away. Thank God my family and I proceeded to move to another area because I really was so clouded in that instance. The whole encounter happened so fast. All of a sudden, there I was- caught in between “then” and “now”. Continue reading “Mary Magdalene Turned Queen Esther (follow-up from “My Abortion” blogpost)”

My Abortion

As some know, I had an abortion when I was 22-yrs-old.  I was not a believer, so my decisions were based on my fleshly fear & selfish self will.  Well, years later the Lord showed me that this baby was a boy. I felt impressed upon by the Lord that this baby was to be called”Jack”  I often pray to God that He will open the Heavens every now & then to allow Jack to see me so that I can tell him how much I love him. Know that at the time I am writing this letter, I do believe I have received full forgiveness from Jack as well as the Lord from this grave sin against both of them as well as myself as well as the many others who would have been impacted by Jack’s life here on earth. Now I just want Jack to know that I love him, that I think of him often & that I can’t wait to see him when I get to Heaven. Continue reading “My Abortion”

A Constant Mess

For anyone who doesn’t know that I’m a constant mess restrained by God’s grace- I’m here to tell you that I am! I’m constantly battling with failing, inadequacy & unworthiness. I have doubts & fears. I weary myself with striving. I feel unimportant & uncared for more often than I let on. And sometimes I go into not so good places within for protection (that would be my introverted self)!
So, when you see anything “good” come from me… please know, it’s DESPITE me and entirely because of God’s grace through Christ & His Spirit who sustains me. Otherwise, I honestly would not be here even able to write this post! Continue reading “A Constant Mess”

Oh How Far We’ve Come!

I have something on my <3 this morning.
As I look over the past 10 years of my life as a married woman/engaged woman, I think upon how blessed I have been because of God’s grace & mercy through Jesus Christ & nothing less. I also think about how many struggles I had as a young, single mother those many years before this blessed matrimony came to be. And I thought upon how the fact that I got married did not nullify the fact that “in this life we will have troubles.” Continue reading “Oh How Far We’ve Come!”

Find Rest Here

I pray we rest in Jesus’ arms letting Him love on us just like this picture portrays. Too many women are stressed, exhausted & fearful that if they stop performing, they’re failing God or their spouses/children or parents or friends or the church… or all of the above! So, as I settle in for the night reflecting on these things, I desire nothing more than to be still in Jesus’ presence. And as that happens, I silently pray for every Daughter of the King who needs to know how cherished they are because of who they were made to be opposed to what they do & how well they do it.
In it with you. <3

No Place But Home

For all of you out there who can relate (wherever it may apply in your life)…”This refining & sanctification process of mother is not always easy, but God has shown me that He will bring me further faster home with my children than at a million events/conferences, etc that I could ever attend. Real life is here in my home. He is perfecting me to become more & more like His Son Jesus. So, for that I am praising Him- even in the tantrums, “hoe hums” & “isn’t there more?” days.  Be blessed! <3
