Well this season keeps getting harder. And this may be my most vulnerable post yet. But don't worry: God has me still. I'm hurting, and sometimes confused, but I'm not worried: this is not the end. That said, if it weren't for the fact that I know many others are experiencing the same kind of... Continue Reading →
Happy Resurrection Sunday, friends! For every Christian everywhere, today - the day when we celebrate Jesus' resurrection - is surely the best day of the year: the day of all days when we are reminded that life overcomes death, rejoicing replaces weeping, and hope becomes our solid guarantee.

Friends, this has been a tough week. Circumstances here have brought me and my family to the point of having to let go of a promise that I/we have been clinging to, praying over, and believing for, for the last 5 years. For me, who encouraged them all to believe, it has been extremely painful.... Continue Reading →

We were talking about His Kingdom, and I was saying how life here on earth is a struggle in so many areas, I have many prayer needs - but... Continue Reading →
In yesterday's post (that I actually wrote in December, but didn't feel released to share until writing this one) the focus was very much on the furnace as a place of immense heat and pressure for the purpose of purification. But yesterday God picked up the furnace theme again. I was expressing to Him that I'd been... Continue Reading →
You know those times when you just have to obey even though it doesn't seem to make sense? Well this is one of those! On New Year's Day I was chatting to God and received some encouragement that I felt completely sure was just for me. It was beautiful and personal, and I treasured it in both my... Continue Reading →
For the past few days I have been trying to publish a post about my current season. The writing has been going well, but I'm not sure if it is meant to be posted here or published in my next book - so I'm holding off until I know for certain. Meanwhile God gave me a simple... Continue Reading →
