Recently I participated in a Cardboard Testimonies at my church, which is held in a school gymnasium. Reading the signs of past sufferings cut deep into my heart. Why does life hurt so much? I cried. Joy returned when I read the other side of these signs. Hope exists. God is real and He still heals. After everyone shared their silent story, our Continue Reading

Stop, Look-n-Listen: Crocus
This morning I prayed with a friend at the Prayer Center. As I left the building, this flower caught my eye. So naturally I stopped and took a picture, and then another when I saw a group of them.

Message In a Bottle
It's time to stop, look and listen. Might God want to use a message in a bottle to speak to you today? He did me. I saw this message while I was in my car waiting at a stoplight. I saw and still see the words "let go" and "waiting for us." We know God's plan is best, right? So tell me, why on earth do we cling to the same ole, same Continue Reading
