I DANCED  like there was no tomorrow, and it didn't matter that I was by myself because the  FREEDOM  to just DANCE with such unspeakable JOY couldn't stop my feet from moving. I just had to, because  how do you RELEASE an overabundance of JOY when you don't have time to run to a mountain and shout from the top of it. You DANCE, even if you are by yourself. Because you are THANKING GOD  that HE  really hears you, as HE brings you into your REAL  self~ a part of you that has b

I wonder if GOD ever felt like a failure. HE created GOOD . HE said it was all GOOD . HE gave HIS first two humans everything that was GOOD . Everything was oh so GOOD . It was. And then it wasn't. I wonder if GOD ever felt like a failure because HIS creations failed HIM . I don't have to wonder because if GOD did, would HE have given up HIS SON for you & me & everyone else because HE knew we would fail HIM ? Or has GOD been reinforcing this little saying that we hav

There  HE IS.   And HE IS looking at you. But not just with HIS  eyes, for HE  is reaching out HIS arms. And you hear  HIS  whisper, "COME".   One simple word, that is an INVITATION to "COME". Do you "COME" ? Well, it depends who your HE IS. For who is HE ? HE IS JESUS. Now this isn't rocket science, as JESUS  is not complicated. And maybe that is the problem, for why HIS  simple INVITATION to "COME" is way too simple. And maybe that is why JESUS  never stops asking ALL to CO

Look back over your life from where you WERE to WHERE you are today. Would you have ever BELIEVED that you got through __________ and ___________ and _________... and you are still HERE ? Amazing isn't it. What if GOD revealed to you everything that you would experience throughout your whole life, before you would live it (and I mean the NOT-SO-GOOD circumstances). Would you have ever BELIEVED that you would have been able to LIVE THROUGH IT ? But if you are BREATHING t

When I woke up this morning, I asked GOD  what HE  wanted me to do. And when you  iNVITE GOD into your LIFE oh how HE COMES. And HE CAME. And HE ANSWERED  in HIS WORD.   "So here’s what I want you to do,  God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life~ your sleeping,  eating,  going-to-work,  and walking-around life~ and place it before GOD as an offering. Embracing what GOD does for you is the best thing you can do for HIM.  Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture

HUMILITY is not being a doormat. HUMILITY is not being weak. HUMILITY is not being a coward. HUMILITY takes the courage to say IT'S NOT ABOUT ME because IT'S ALL ABOUT JESUS. Yup. So very easy. And when you move out of the way to allow HIM to take over, there is less of you to get in the way of the MORE that GOD has for you. Oh the FREEDOM to just let JESUS be JESUS, so you can be the you who GOD created you to be. Taking the stance of HUMILITY~ “Humble yourselves, th

Once Upon A Time there was a blind man who heard a commotion. He asked a question. "What is going on?" He received an answer~ They told him, “JESUS of Nazareth is passing by.”* He responded~ He called out, “JESUS, Son of David, have mercy on me!”* They responded by telling him to be quiet. He responded~ “Son of David, have mercy on me!”* Hmm. JESUS . HIS voice heard over the rebukers. I wonder what the blind man thought. Did he wonder how or even if JESUS was going to respon

My hubby and I have traveled back to the campus, where we began our marriage. Just two "little kids" going to grad school. And then GOD  gave us a GIFT,   a BLESSING  from above, our daughter. Our daughter, who my hubby would ake her everywhere, even to class. For we were just "two little kids" in LOVE , and now in  LOVE with our child. Now I say "kids", because as I look back to 41 years ago, that is what our age said we were. But it feels like yesterday. The vivid memories

HE SHOWED   Up like HE  always does. And   HE   looks into your eyes. Tears start to fall from your eyes, for you wonder why is   HE   looking at you. Doesn't   HE KNOW  that you are far from   PERFECT ? Doesn't   HE SEE  what is wrong with you. For others   SEE   it. For others   CHOOSE  not to be with you. But why does   HE  just   COME to be with you. Because that is what TRUE LOVE  does. TRUE LOVE SHOWS UP  on a   CROSS, when   HE  is NOT GUILTY.   TRUE LOVE SHOWS UP when

Some call it writer's block, but I call it GOD BLOCK. Let me explain. GOD pours into me a vision, filling my mind with word pictures that tells HIS STORY. And HIS  creativity has no bounds, as I am overwhelmed with 10,000s of word pictures. HE  first gives me a verse,  like HE has for the upcoming Christmas event. And then the  SPIRIT  explodes inside of me. And before you know it I have millions of words stored in my computer and all my props from amazon are being delivered
