Conclusions When You’re BETTER
Because I spent a number of years needing attention, affirmation and acceptance I’m intentional about making sure my motive of doing and saying is not an attempt to secure these things for myself. Living, loving and working in ministry to get your need met is dangerous, defeating and deadly. You can’t do it effectively because…

Contortions of a Bitter Root
God strengthens the yielded heart to live and love the obstinate, cantankerous, and rebellious. His Spirit helps us see behaviors as fruit from a bitter root. As we grow alongside other trees in the garden of life and love it is necessary to thrive in the ground of diseased, displeased, and dispensing toxins. Trust God…

CONFESSIONS of a BROKEN HEART
Every so often, as we live and love, it becomes necessary to re evaluate our relationship with God, ourselves and each other. It’s so easy to get stuck in a rut, take things forgranted and to miss opportunities of growth. Relationships stop thriving long before the straw breaks the camel’s back. The beginning of the…

I Remember
“And the Lord said, Simon, Simon behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that He may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brother” (Luke 22:31-32 KJV) The emphasis of life and love is not discovered in what we feel…

Remember Me
“Not neglecting- as some habitually do-to meet together, but encouraging one another, and doing this all the more since you can see the day of Christ approaching” (Hebrews 10:25 Weymouth New Testament) Can you do me a favor, pull out your electronic device your cell phone, your IPad, your Nobi and hit camera. There is…

Significance in the Struggle
Just a reminder “There Is Significance in the Struggle”! It’s so easy to live and love magnifying “the struggle” without ever acknowledging, appreciating or accepting the significance. Strength is gained in the struggle. We learn how to bare the weight/wait of life and love, how to balance His strength and our weakness and how to…

Feeling Some Kind of Way
I read somewhere “people may not remember what you said or did for them but they will always remember how you made them feel”. I ran into one of my youth in the grocery store and we exchanged hellos, talked for a little while about what’s going on in eachothers lives and reminisced about the…

The Other Woman
I know we generally typecast the other woman as a villian. It’s easy to hate her, to tear her down and discount her impact, influence and investment in the process of life and love. She is, whom ever she may be a contributor to life and love as you now know it and she deserves…

Had
“Now the LORD was gracious to Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did for Sarah what he had promised” (Gen. 21:1 NIV) Had as in not what you had before but as in what God said beforehand. Isn’t it something how God speaks of fruitfulness while we are barren? He talks to us…

Just A Man
Listen in on any womans prayer and it is very likely her petition includes “God give me a man after your own heart” or “make him a man after your heart”. The imagery that accompanies that assertion and assessment is the stuff fantasies are made of. We picture the perfect man who says and does…
