Season of Healing

I believe that this season is going to be a great season of healing, a season of breaking free of chains. I think this because I am seeing it. First, I see it in my own life. The Lord is teaching me so much about the fear of the Lord, his love and grace for me and how His way is best and my own decisions lead to self destruction. The past few months and especially the past week I have seen him really helping me break free of some deep rooted long time sin struggles. I see loved ones of mine truly desiring healing of struggles and beginning to fight them, and other loved ones who have hit rock bottom and my prayer is for them that the Lord truly works on their hearts in this time. 

 And then there are those loved ones who I have been praying years for, who have hit rock bottom many times and yet I have seen nothing change and I have to continue to watch them walk down the road of self destruction. It breaks my heart. When it comes to those loved ones. Let me tell you, don't get bitter and give up on them. I have many times wanted to give up on loved ones, and several times have...but a dear friend told me in high school not to give up and just wait on God's timing, that He is faithful and loves them more than we ever could. I saw her love and pray for someone who broke her heart time and time again, and not only did she love and pray for them, she did it with joy. She found joy in being the Lord's love for that person. She found joy in praying for that person when that person could not pray for themselves. I can now see today the blessings of not giving up on lost loved ones.  I have seen after years of prayer, hearts softened and healed and I thank the Lord that those who were called to love and pray for me did not give up. 

 Our God is a God of healing and restoration. A God of relentless love and pursuit. Praise Him for that and find joy and hope in those promises.

NOW THOSE ALTARS IN THE WILDERNESS TELL THE STORY OF HIS FAITHFULNESS

There have been seasons in my life that lasted way longer than I would have liked them too. After a long while I began to realize wishing those seasons away and turning to so many things but Jesus to make those seasons end was not working, but instead was making me bitter. My prayer in those seasons went from, "take this cup from me" to, "as long as it takes to get to a place of surrender I'm gonna stay right here." My hard times brought me to a place of fully surrendering fear and fully trusting Jesus, something I struggled severely with. Our sweet son was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis last week. I think if this had happened before those other hard seasons I would be totally crippled by fear right now. But I can honestly say that I'm not fearful of what this diagnosis might bring, sad yes, but not afraid.  I used to always expect the worst. Expect whatever came next to be something that once again would bring bad news. This time, although it...

Jealousy is the Ugliest Trait.

So.... HUGE STRUGGLE. Jealousy. It's not a pretty thing. It consumes your thoughts, heart, emotions, self-esteem and worst of all puts hatred in your hear for others...especially the ones you are closest to. Now my first encounter with this disgusting sin that I can remember and took its toll on all the above was in high-school within my youth group. It involved a girl who I considered a dear friend. She IS pretty, talented, loving and many people look up to her and want to be around her. Instead of seeing all the Lord gifted me with, I was too busy looking and wanting to be her. Needless to say the relationship was broken by ugliness and hate and years of friendship were lost. The struggle did not end with the friendship. The jealousy continued and so did the hatred in my heart. For years, there was no forgiveness, just bitterness. Here years after, I am much more confident in who I am. But that silly little sin still has a grip on me. I look around at my dearest friends a...

Ministry Isn't Easy

Exodus 4:10 But Moses pleaded with the LORD, “O Lord, I’m not very good with words. I never have been, and I’m not now, even though you have spoken to me. I get tongue-tied, and my words get tangled.” Sometimes we don't feel good enough to do what God has called us to do. And sometimes we use that as an excuse to get out of it because we give into fear. At least that's how it's been for me.  Initially when the Lord called me to start London Square Children’s Ministry my argument was, I'm not good at leading and organizing.  I can jump in and help someone else who is leading and organizing but I can't start up a Ministry and lead it. I'm not good at that. And although that is true, it's not my strong suit, He equipped me to do it. And much fruit came from it.  Then covid hit and I got pregnant.  A long season away from the Ministry for the safety of myself and my baby. But I think that safety from a virus turned into safety of my time and energy.  Honestly se...
