Oh, Lord... I heard a song today that I have loved for many years. Whenever I hear it, it touches me in a place too deep to fully understand or describe. Without fail, it brings me to tears from the very depths of my soul and spirit. Because each phrase touches a profound ache. A...
I raised my hand today. Funny how such a simple thing can seem like such a risky thing. I was participating in a live web-based training. With some sixty people from all over the world. So my hand was raised via technology, through one click of my mouse. Only the leader saw my "hand" raised. I...
A question came by way of urgent text this morning. A question with an unexpected invitation: Would I be at our prayer meeting this morning? If so, could I lead? I wasn't showered yet, but I was planning to go. So I texted back, "Yes." We were to start in 90 minutes. I could get my...
We had our first conversation today in over three years. And we quickly discovered our last conversation could have been just yesterday! For me and my sister-in-Christ, our thousand days apart had become like one day. As if we had never been apart. She was even a thousand miles away. But somehow, it seemed like she was right here....
I headed out in a different direction for my bicycle ride today. I didn't realize it would be A Prophetic Ride. It wasn't the traffic (which was almost nil). It wasn't the direction (which, before it was over, was North, South, East and West). It wasn't the pace (which was fairly brisk, despite the conditions). It wasn't the distance...
It only took us thirty-one years. But tonight, we finally made it! We saw our first college basketball game LIVE! Our favorite team, The University of Virginia, played the University of Miami. In Miami. Talk about home court advantage! There's something about being at a live game, Lord. I am not exactly a "rabid" basketball fan. Or...
I heard an amazing testimony yesterday, Lord. Why am I not surprised?! :) A dear friend had extensive dental surgery a few months ago. For years, she had been prone to bouts of anxiety and depression. Under normal circumstances, she expected her anxiety in anticipation of the surgery would be "off the charts." But...
I just love how You work, Lord!!! This morning, I listened to a short but powerful audio message. It was a simple, yet profound, five-minute teaching by Pastor Dave of Restoring the Foundations Ministries. Thirty free audio presentations seeking to reinforce how we (Your people) can walk in freedom, victorious over the enemy's interference. Today was...
This is not a post about how to literally pull anyone -- much less, Gene Kelly -- from Point A to B! Or is it? I was out walking in the rain today. What started as a fine drizzle turned into a torrential downpour before I returned home. With my giant umbrella in my hand, I...
An odd vision, to be sure. But that's what popped into my mind as we were sharing our hearts this morning, Lord. You were reassuring me. In the heat of battle. Reminding me of Your Overcoming Power. Your All-sufficient Grace. I had just asked You how You resisted the devil after forty days in the...
