How much does God care about what we are going through? He sees our difficulties and promises to never abandon or leave us. But do we believe Him or do we believe our emotions? It’s pretty easy for the enemy to manipulate our emotions to feel abandonment and then whisper lies that God doesn’t care. “Because… Read more »

Loving Others Despite Our Fears
How do we get past our fears to love people? The other day I walked into a business I frequent and waited near another woman. God asked me to tell her that He loved her. I said, “No, not here, Lord. Not in this place where I come so often.” God has asked me to… Read more »
What Would Happen If We Monitored Our Thoughts?
How do we battle the enemy? And who is the true enemy? When I was growing up, hearing anything related to satan and his demons scared the bejeebers out of me. I didn’t want to think about him, let alone say his name out loud for fear of attracting a hellacious attack. After college, I… Read more »
Do Thoughts Determine Whether We Are Victorious or Defeated?
What thoughts are we thinking? Bill Johnson says that any thought we have that doesn’t inspire hope is under the influence of a lie. When things get rough, we tend to go straight for the S.O.S. prayers. “God, get me out of this mess!” But what if God has a miracle he’s waiting to give us,… Read more »
Who Are We Walking With?
How do we know which kingdom we are walking in? This morning TDH (tall, dark and handsome) had to talk me off the ledge. I had worked myself into a lather over the responsibilities of parenting. So many things on our radar—–SAT tests, scholarship research, college admissions—–and that’s my short list. What is my responsibility and… Read more »
Freedom is for Us
What does freedom look like? I watched a friend get free today. The enemy had her believing lies. About her parenting. About her child. About the future. How often do we fall in the trap of believing the reality the enemy is feeding our minds?
How Much Do We Trust?
Is the act of believing a form of prayer? As I prayed for my kids one day, I found myself grabbing for prayers. Fix-it prayers. You see, my middle son has aspirations to play college basketball, and fear started speaking to me, “How will coaches find him in our small town of mountains and sage… Read more »
God Embraces Us In Our Sin
Can God be in the presence of sin? When my kids were young I taught them that He couldn’t. I believed it and wanted to encourage them to move toward sinless behavior. Or at least try their hardest to get close. You know, “God’s not with you, so you might want to repent quickly.” Fear… Read more »
Blind Faith
Can we feel the fear, but walk in faith? How often do lies come to our minds and we give them more weight than they deserve: My child will always struggle. I’m not good enough. This situation will never get better. My life is a mess. I can’t do anything right. They are better than… Read more »
Do Thoughts Control Our Emotions?
Are we aware of our thought lives? Remember when we learned to drive? How we nervously sat in the driver’s seat and pulled onto the road for the first time, wondering how on earth we were going to keep the speedometer needle in its legal position, shift, brake, watch for merging traffic and keep the car… Read more »
