Sleeping in the Storm
You and I are why there is creation. Why there are blue skies, ocean waves, dolphins, and giraffes. We are the reason God put His story in every living thing and in the stars and sky. You and I, formed from the elements of earth by God’s hands and brought alive by the...
Lost Correspondence: A Glorious Invitation
God sent me a Grand Invitation. It was to a banquet in my honor. To a table He set with beauty from His pure heart of love, thinking of me. He was excited as He sent out the invitation. Excited that I would come and we could sit feasting together talking of everything...
Choosing Hope
There have always been only two stories: the one that God speaks and the one that darkness tells. Each day I get to choose which one I will focus on. Which one I will believe and live by. God’s story is harder to hear. I have to lean in to know what He’s saying. I...
Default Position of Heart
A preselected option adopted when no alternative is specified by the user. This morning the Lord spoke to me about my default position in a crisis. He let me know that what I choose is very, very important. God is the only God who, when I look into His...
The Mystery of You
This mystery of you and I is a quest to find and unravel clues of our uniqueness. To discover God in the evidence of His intention--in nature, in creation, in us. Our God is a spiritual being and so are we, but we don’t always see how to navigate the land of spiritual...
Out of the Cage
Forgiveness is unlocking the door to set someone free and realizing you were the prisoner. Max Lucado God has worked in my heart for years on this. He reminds me of people I have, intentionally, forgotten. People who hurt me or offended me. People I didn’t want to...
Jesus and the Purple Grass
The other day I felt God prompting me to send a web design proposal to an organization that I knew needed a website. I put it together and sent it off to the administrator, I’ll call him Mr. Brown. A few hours later he replied. “ We are; in fact, currently completing...
A Sliver of Pain
This is an ugly story and this is your warning. If you are artistic or creative and see stories come to life, this will be icky and you have my permission to walk away before I get going. When people tell stories, the pictures form in my mind. In color even. The only...
Sounds of the Butterfly
God speaks softly to me. Sometimes in the whisper of a butterfly dance--so quickly, so quietly if I’m not listening for Him I miss the sound. He has always been that way with me. I’ve never had big, open visions or an overwhelming arrival of an angel or Jesus showing...
Walking on Water: Transition
When you get out of the boat there’s only one thing you can do, keep looking at Jesus. That’s it. No looking at the waves. No noticing how strong the wind is blowing or contemplating the storm. None of that. We all know how that ends. So now you’re out of the boat...
God Gave me Flowers
My past is a trail highlighted by the places where flowers grew. I can track my life in flowers and foliage. I can’t tell you who was with me during many childhood events, or even what we did, but I can tell you the colors of the flowers and the kind of plants that...
On the Road with Jesus
Several months ago I woke up from a dream where Jesus walked away. Later, I could laugh, but at the time I remember standing in the middle of a dirt road surrounded by prairie fields as far as I could see and feeling wildly scared. I looked down at something on the...
A Goose and a Fish
A Goose - The other day God started talking to me about a goose, a golden egg and a fish. About how I spend my energy in life; how I sacrifice a lot of time, peace and joy to gain some golden egg laid by a special goose. I chase it, making prayers to convince God to...
The Call of the Creative
People called to be creative artists, designers, inventors, musicians or storytellers can be the most tormented by life. Born with creative souls and receptors tuned to slight nuances, we see and feel things in a way others do not, which offers a lot of opportunities...
Gifts and Invitations
I have come to believe that all the supernatural experiences I have had are simply invitations from God. Invitations to come closer. To seek further into who He is and how He thinks. To understand how He loves. I had a dream a few years ago where I was traveling from...
What You Focus on Grows
I walk differently now. Instead of precarious and tormented I walk straight, sure of my foundation and full of joy that makes no sense. I can’t turn around and go back. There is no other path for me but the one where Jesus leads, as odd and mysterious as it seems. ...
Seek the Lord
How do you seek the Lord with all your heart? I know I struggle with how to define ‘Seeking God.’ What does it look like? Is it going off to a monastery in solitude and meditating quietly alone? Is that how I should separate myself as unto the Lord? As appealing as it...
On Seeking
It feels like I’ve spent most of my life hearing Jesus say, “Are you coming?” “Are you going to get out of the boat? Will you follow Me down the road wherever it leads?” I woke up one morning some months ago to hear Him speaking loudly in my heart, “Seek. Seek. Seek.”...
