Brad and I hit the new trail today, and let me tell you, it was like stepping into a painting. The beauty of God’s creation surrounded us, and we couldn’t help but feel that sense of wonder and awe. The trees stood tall, the sunlight filtered through the leaves, and every little detail reminded us of the incredible world we live in. It was a...

Happy Anniversary: 1st full year  The Lord said to us; Jeremiah 32:41 41 “‘Oh how I’ll rejoice in them! Oh how I’ll delight in doing good things for them! Heart and soul, I’ll plant them in this country and keep them here!’ Never stop praying and believing! Do not limit the limitless God! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0B5CJ4iwXFY I played this...

I bought this small frosted blue glass bottle of perfume oil.

“He leadeth me beside the still waters.” Psalm 23:2 Still, waters in Hebrew are “waters of rest.” I was surrounded by still waters it was such a vision of the 23rd Psalm  David says that God will lead us, not force us to these waters of rest, but He will lead us.

It’s bursting out! Don’t you see it? The clouds are parting! The Breakthrough is coming! At that very moment, the scene before me took on a deeper spiritual significance.  The God of Breakthroughs Isaiah 43 verses 17, 18, 19  “Forget about what’s happened;     don’t keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I’m...

Dark hours may be ahead, but we must remember His Light overpowers the darkness.  John 1:5 5 And the Light shines on in the darkness, for the darkness has never overpowered it (or put it out). Believe and trust in God's word. In Isaiah 54:17, the Lord declares that no weapon formed against you shall succeed or...
