Finding Joy in Grief
Grief is a heavy weight and such a difficult place to be. How then, can we have joy in that place?
The Greatest Love Bestowed on Us: We Are Free
From childhood superstitions to well-meaning religious rules, many of us learn to live as though one wrong step could cost us love, peace, or acceptance. We may carry the fear that we have not prayed enough, given enough, served enough, or asked forgiveness often enough. But the gospel tells a different story…
HONEY: A SWEET GIFT FROM GOD FOR BODY AND SOUL
Honey (dvash in Hebrew) is another gift from God’s bountiful delicacies. It was not created solely for our pleasure, but also as a vital superfood to help maintain our bodies as the fine-tuned machine they were created to be. A healing, immune boosting taste of God’s goodness.
From Promise to Fulfillment: How Isaiah 54 Became My Lifeline
Isaiah 54 is addressed to Israel, pictured as a barren woman who has not borne children. The language is metaphorical, yet its message reaches far beyond one moment in history.
The Prayer Cloth - Pray with Power
A prayer cloth is more than a ritualistic tool. It is an act of faith that our God, who is the same yesterday, today, and forever, still moves through the faith of His people.
Psalm 81, A Covenant of Praise
All covenants in the Word were signed in blood and are unbreakable. In the Old Testament by the sacrificial blood of a lamb; in the New Testament by Jesus’ Blood -- nothing can break that because blood cannot be unmingled.
Children of God: Secure in Christ
To be called a child of God is not only a comfort, but also an identity, a promise, and a position secured through Christ. Scripture reminds us that our place in Him is not fragile, temporary, or dependent on how well we perform. It rests on what Jesus has already finished.
When Jesus Made Clay: A Reflection on John 9
There are moments in Scripture when Jesus does something so unexpected that it invites us to pause and look closer. John 9 is one of those moments.
Do You Want to Be Healed?
There is something tender yet profound about the question Jesus asks the man at the pool of Bethesda. He did not begin with a command. He began with a question: Do you want to be healed?
That Still Small Voice
“Arise and shine, for your Light has come.” Those words from Isaiah 60:1 came to me in a way I will never forget. Still and small, soft and gentle, yet unmistakably clear.
Mama Bears and Chicks
As mothers, our children are gifts entrusted to us by God. We are chosen to love, nurture, and guide them into the men and women He created them to be—warriors for Christ who live for His glory and purpose. Motherhood is more than a blessing; it is calling, an honor, a privilege, and a sacred responsibility.
God Honors Our Faith
Recently, I was asked whether I had enough faith to move a mountain. My response was that I absolutely do. Then I was asked if I had ever actually moved one.
Promised Land Salad
This salad is a delicious reminder of the great love of our Father God, Whose promises never fail. He promised a land of ‘milk and honey’, bountiful goodness in abundance.
Woman Of The Lord
As women, we weren’t created just to be a companion for man. We were chosen, honored and blessed to compliment man and God’s marvelous creation.
Taste and See
“Taste and see that the Lord is good. Blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him” Psalms 34:8. Taste and see. How does one explain that? What did the Psalmist mean?
Power in the Name
There is a lot of talk about spiritual battles, unseen forces working against us, and the power of darkness. Too much credit and attention being given to the enemy. He likes that.
Power Greens and Pasta
This recipe is filled with foods God called good for us.
The Ultimate Superfood Vegetable Soup
This soup is not your ordinary vegetable soup.
Ahh, That's All I Ever Wanted
Many years ago, I 'experienced' this image, almost exactly. You see, the little girl, in my experience, was me.
The Sweet Blessing That is the Fig
Today I prayed, “Lord if there’s someone that needs to hear from you today, use me to let them know”. The Lord’s answer came as I was reminded of the significance of the Fig Tree.
