What was your first thought when you woke up this morning? Any of these ring a bell? If we can get in the habit of making Jesus our first thought, before we open our eyes, before we get out of bed, before we think or do anything else — if we can hand Him ourContinue reading “Awakening to Jesus”

Family Unity for Ministers
Ministry can take its toll on kids, especially if parents are so involved in their work they don’t take vacations or spend daily and weekly quality time as a family. These past few of years, I have counseled so many missionary families whose children have walked away from the Lord or made other devastating decisions.Continue reading “Family Unity for Ministers”
Stepping into My Role
The Lord has a very specific role for you to play in the trials of the days to come. Do you know what that is yet? Ask Him. What is He saying to you? Can you hear Him? If you don’t know what He’s leading you to do yet, start here: Matthew 22:37-40 and 1Continue reading “Stepping into My Role”
God’s Word for Your 2024
What did God do in your life this past year? Did you ask Him at the beginning of 2023 for a word, verse, vision, purpose, or something else He wanted to speak over the year? How did He fulfill that? No matter how you weathered last year, 2024 can be filled with power and wonderContinue reading “God’s Word for Your 2024”
Rise Up as One and Love
A prayer for oneness from Philippians 1:27-28: Lord, we ask You to draw us into deeper love, into oneness with each other and with You. For our enemy seeks to divide marriages, families, and churches, and then put us on display before the world to show them that we’re really no different than they are,Continue reading “Rise Up as One and Love”
Restoring Broken Connections
Have you ever reached out to someone, wanting a deeper connection, but they didn’t take you up on that invitation? As you shared your heart, did they look at their watch? Check their social media notifications? Talk over you? Walk out of the room? It’s not uncommon. But what the Lord was asking me toContinue reading “Restoring Broken Connections”
Walking Toward Oneness
When we go through trials, it’s easy to look around and think, “Why doesn’t she have this problem? Am I the only one going through this?” or “Why does God heal him but not me?” or “Why is my marriage in pieces, and that other couple is so blessed?” The truth is we all haveContinue reading “Walking Toward Oneness”
Do Not Fear
I awoke from a dream where a little girl worriedly tugged on her mother’s skirt, saying “Mommy, Mommy! I don’t want to go bye-bye.” Her face still haunts me as I write this. What devastation. So many mothers and children in Ukraine have been injured and killed, especially after Russia bombed a maternity and children’sContinue reading “Do Not Fear”
Joyfully One
A few nights ago I had a dream in which God’s people gathered from all nations to daily have breakfast together. There was no distinction between races, cultures or portions, but all were of one Kingdom, one family, and all received the same perfectly proportioned manna-cake. They were laughing, each seated wherever they were inContinue reading “Joyfully One”
