Rest

I woke up the other morning overwhelmed, a little frenzied, a bit stressed. So much on my plate. The Lord said, “Rest.” It was a single word, quite literally a “word” from the Lord. “Rest.” I didn’t write that day. That’s why I’m writing about it now. I sat in my chair and felt the…

Endurance

The Lord has been speaking to me about endurance. The one who endures to the end, he will be saved (Matthew 24:13). What does it mean to endure? What is the end? I know that in this verse Jesus is talking about the last days. Bad things are going to happen. It won’t be easy.…

Sustained

It’s not up to me. I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the Lord sustains me (Psalm 3:5). The Lord sustains me. Even in a simple thing like waking up, the Lord sustains me. Life keeps picking up speed. Worries of this world abound. “Will I have time for everything?” And, “I don’t have…

Mourning and Hope

This is a hard post to write. In fact, for the last few weeks, any posts have been hard to write and I’ve actually missed publishing a few. My sister went to be with Jesus recently. She’s the one who I dedicated a post to back in 2020 on her birthday, January 21. I miss…

He Will Fight For Me

I have no fight in me. Jesus, I need You to fight for me. You are my sword. Fight for me. And here we are again. Shout joyfully to the Lord (Psalm 100:1). Serve the Lord with gladness (Psalm 100:2). He’s in charge. He’s in control. He’s got everything covered. I can shout joyfully because…

We’re All Different

We’re all different. Some weird, some normal, some well-liked, some disliked. Just all different. All trying to do it right and be accepted, be in the in-crowd wherever we find ourselves. But we’re all different and unique. Who can say why one person can tell a joke and everyone laughs, says he or she is…

Sing for Joy

I want to walk in joy today. I don’t want to be irritable and angry and frustrated. And the answer is…Sing for joy to God our strength; Shout joyfully to the God of Jacob (Psalm 81:1 NASB). Thank You, Father. I will sing. I will sing loud and with conviction. I will sing with joy.…
