I am so uncomfortable…again.

How I wish I could package comfort in a bottle!

Most of the time I find I am uncomfortable.

I think this springs from a life-long fight with fear and insecurity.

I don’t know why I struggle so much because I have a lot of reasons to feel secure.  I am loved.  I am safe.  I am saved.

What else could a girl need? Apparently, to feel comfortable. Continue reading →

Trusting God is good for your health.  Proverbs 3:15

When you trust God, you don’t worry.  Psalm 116:7

A heart at peace, gives life to the body.  Proverbs 14:30

This year has been a challenging year for me and my family. As I’ve been reflecting on where I began in January and where I ended up in December, I’m filled with gratitude despite the difficulties.

I’ve been learning to rest.

Rita Springer is my friend.

I mean it.

My friend.

I can hardly believe it.  That’s why I wrote it out.

For years, her worship has impacted my life.

One time I worshiped among hundreds under her anointing.  I was transformed.

From then on, when I worship with her, I imagine I’m resting under her key board and I can feel the presence of God the way that she does. Continue reading →

This is the rally cry of the Flower Mound High School football team.  This year, they are being led by a new coach who is developing a mindset of victory.  Following several years of heavy defeats and losing seasons, even Matthew had begun to lose his love for the sport.  When Coach Basil arrived on the scene things began to shift.

Matthew went from “I’m not sure it’s worth it,” to shouts of “we will win.”

I’ve thought a lot about how that happened.

Screen Shot 2016-08-25 at 7.55.20 AMMoses answered the people, do not be afraid.  Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today.  The Egyptians you see today – you will never see again.  God will fight the battle for you.  And you?  You keep your mouths shut. Exodus 14:13-14a (MES)

Last week I had the honor of serving on a prophetic ministry team at the North Richland Hills campus.  For several days, I sought God for a word of encouragement for specific individuals.  My process of preparing looks something like this:

  • get still (Gather every single thing I might possibly want or need for the next hour – coffee, blanket, bible, journal, pen, glasses, computer…you get the idea.)
  • pray (Talk to God about how desperate I am to hear what He has to say.)
  • listen (Try to stop talking and wait to see if something comes to mind.)
  • pray again (Talk, talk, talk – tell God what will happen if He doesn’t speak.)
  • listen, listen, listen (Make a decision to cut it out, be quiet, put the pressure on God to speak and on me to be still.)
  • journal (Write down any and everything I hear, see or sense.)
  • repeat
