How the Book Launch Day Went…
My day started with my pup insisting she sit on my lap as I tried to get ready to hop on zooms with people… (and my hubby sitting across from us smiling with his morning cup of coffee.) And then…I found myself playing dolls over Zoom with a little girl in Germany! 😀 Her mom…

Our Sin and Gifting Come from the Same Drive
This nugget has come up several times in the last few days with numerous people. Our sin and gifting come from the same drive, but it’s where we look that determines whether we are in sin or walking in our calling. Below is a reflection given in April 2023 in Augusta, Georgia which includes this…

The Healing Power of Saying “Thank you”
I found myself emotional on the 4 hour drive home. I was finished serving 1 week at a camp which included giving 10 messages on moving from mountains to miracles and moving from our problems to God’s promises. (Did you know there are over 8,000 promises recorded from God in the Bible?) However, I was…

The New (Old) Wineskin of The Church
If you’ve been following this blog or my story, you will know that since 2016 the Lord called me out of the institutional church (I see now he had been warning me of this since 2010) and told me to ‘circle the wagons’ and unlearn a few things before stepping forward. After some healing and…

What does it take for you to grow?
As I meet with my Life Coaching clients, I notice that some lives transform faster than others. Lately, the Lord has been waking me up at 4:33am, 4:11am… The theme God keeps growing in me is this… (and I’ve noticed others seeing this same picture too!) Planting His seeds (His wisdom, revelation, healing…) …requires first…

A Pastor’s Confession
This is my confession. I’m sorry… To all the people who I once pastored in an institutional church… I am sorry that I didn’t know then what I know now. My church and Bible school experience did not adequately prepare me to walk you to complete freedom in Jesus’ name. Nor did I disciple you how…
