write the vision

Are you going through tough times and feeling disappointed?

Remember that God has a plan for situations like these. Seek Him, and patiently wait for His response. Don't forget to write down what He reveals to you, and read it again whenever you feel overwhelmed or afraid. God's promises are true, and He will never let you down. Although it may seem like things are moving slowly, they will eventually come to fruition.

I love this powerful and beautiful reminder - I'm praying for you!

A vision from God to run with

God speaks to us in many ways. Sometimes, He chooses to speak to us through dreams and visions. For instance, He may show you pictures, images, etc of something He wants you to know for yourself or someone else. A while back, I was sitting in a meeting and God showed me a vision! I’m going to share it with you today because this is for you, too!

12 WAYS TO TELL THE STORY OF NOAH'S ARK

What are some things we know about kids? They like to play, and ask lots of questions. They are easily upset and self-centered. We also know that they are quick to believe and want to feel big and important! Sound like anyone you know? (insert laughter)


Knowing these things, how can we present the gospel to kids in such a way that they will experience the love and power of God’s Word? That’s easy...include them in the story! We can do this by using all the senses we possibly can to illustrate the gospel.

God speaks in interesting ways

I want God to use me more than ever before. I’m an innovator, so I’ve been asking God what the next big thing he wants me to do for him. I have so many ideas spinning in my head. But God, when do you want me to do that idea? Oh, how about this one, God? Is it time for it now? (You get the picture, right?)

God keeps showing me the numbers 333.

Help is on the way!

I was praying this morning, as I was going to try and sleep in a bit more. I asked God to please speak to me in my dreams. I was praying for our President, our country, and next steps for my family. Then I clearly heard God speak. He said this...

Your prayers have been heard! Help is on the way!!! Then I kept hearing it over and over for the next two hours. I also heard God say, "Tell my people! Their prayers have been heard. Help is on the way!"

When I looked at the clock, the time was 6:12am.

In 2003, I had my first TMJ surgery. (TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint - aka jaw joint) Afterwards, I began having some neurological problems, and was diagnosed with adult-onset epilepsy… complex partial seizures. It was so terrible! My doctor estimated I was having over 50 seizures a day. Life as I had known it seemed to be over.

TIME FOR CHANGE

Change is a beautiful thing!
I love change. I would say that I love change more than most people…. especially in ministry. I’m not talking about a complete overhaul, (although sometimes it is necessary, and I love it!) but I’m talking about tweaks here and there that will bring life to an area that seems to be overlooked or challenging.

There are two important things to do when trying to figure out which areas need change….
