Abiding Under His Shadow
When I think about the awesome glory of God, I think about the expanse of the sky and the depth of the oceans. I think about the variety of colors we can see, much like in the photo above. But most of all I think about God’s everlasting peace and love. There is nothing quite…

He Knows Me
Christmastime is the most difficult time of year for me. It makes me sad to think that I have loved ones I won’t get to spend Jesus’s birthday with, and I grieve over them every year as if no time has gone by since they passed away. This will also be the second Christmas season…

Has God called you to do something and you’re afraid of stepping out of your comfort zone to do it? Trust me, I completely understand how you feel and I’m here to tell you that you are not alone! The moment we become christians, we are a new creation. The old woman is gone and…

The Lord Fights For Us
Hey friend, I’m sorry I’ve been gone for a while, but I had some really serious things on my plate that needed to be tended to immediately.

He Is The First And The Last
I’ve heard it asked, “If Jesus came right now, would you be ashamed by what you’re doing?” There are times I realize that I would be ashamed. I feel the conviction in my heart because of the things I sometimes do, and I am grateful during those times that Jesus hasn’t come yet. Do you…

Acquitted
A few years ago I was invited to a women’s conference here in Albuquerque. It was the first one I had ever attended and was one of the most heartfelt weekends of my whole life, thanks to the guest speaker Hannah Overton. If you know anything about Hannah Overton, you know that she was wrongfully…

Strong Faith
Have you read the parable of the sower in Matthew 13? I love this story because it tells how God will separate the wheat from the chaff during the harvest and how we were sown into good soil so we could grow in Him until the harvest. Parables like this one speak to us in…

God Is Love
When I was about 6 or 7 years old, my uncle Robert was killed by a drunk driver while he was on his way home from work. I don’t remember too much about my uncle, except that he had a nice smile and had a ton of records. I’ve really gotten to know him over…

I Will Speak
All week I have been thinking about the verse above…well, not just that verse, but the whole chapter. Have you read about Balaam and his donkey? People often wonder if God has a sense of humor and this story really gives you a straight “YES!” God gave us a sense of humor and He gave…
