Does God Really Care About Our Difficulties?

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 »

Storming the Enemy

How do we handle painful situations? Too often we seek the Holy Spirit’s comfort, even as we embrace the enemy’s lies. Letting the enemy lie and steal, while waiting for God to swoop in and rescue us from our situations. But God’s already shown a light on our path: We have to reject the lies (2 Cor. 10:5)….

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?

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 »

Journey to Redemption

Six years ago we acquired a playful, sandstone-colored ball of inquisitiveness. He’s an indoor cat, a stance I took after our last indoor/outdoor cat had an unfortunate run-in with a passing car.

I passed one house and thought, “Oh, they’re going to have a yard sale.”With the next glance, I realized the items piling around the house and creeping across the… Read more »

Why Do We Run From God?

So, the other morning I was pondering this week’s blog. What were God and I going to write? Nothing was coming to mind, so I grabbed my journal and asked. This is how it went: Me:  What do you want to blog about this week? God:  Intimacy. The lies that hinder My people from drawing… Read more »

The Path To Freedom

What battle are you fighting? With yourself? Are you beating yourself up over your bad choices, your forgetfulness, your lack of measuring up? Or with others? Their stupidity, insensitivity and thoughtlessness or just because they lack kindness toward us?

The Great Exchange

Shame steals. It’s insidious. Slimy. It relentlessly seeks any cracks in our core being. Hunting for the fault lines. Nourishing the lies that we aren’t good enough. That our failures define us. It finds those fears and erodes, pushing and wedging itself in deeper and deeper. Feeding the erroneous belief that our happiness is unequivocally… Read more »
