​Thankfulness and Tenacity

In a lifetime, just as in nature, there will be cycles and seasons. Sometimes things must pass away and be let go of, some things may be brought to restoration after a period, and sometimes completely new things suddenly grow. And of course what must die and what will live again, and what seeds will sprout and what will be later reaped, is known only by God until the time comes. 

And that is where thankfulness and tenacity come in.

Real Breakthrough From Raw Surrender

The most potent truth that I have experienced lately is summed up in the title above: real breakthrough begins with raw surrender.

What is raw surrender? Well it is certainly not an easy position to be in. It is allowing every feeling to be felt, being completely honest before God, and then letting go and letting God's hands hold everything.

Shifting Seasons, Part Two

...as I have discovered in past faith-testing seasons and have rediscovered in this one on a different level, God is patient and present. He is patient enough to put up with my questions and unloading. He is present with His comfort and His assurances when I finally settle down to be aware and listen.

Shifting seasons, part one

Autumn is such an interesting season. A season of beauty and of harvest, of reaping the benefits of what was sown. But it is also a season of loss and a season of preparation. Preparation to be able to endure difficulty until the cycle continues to shift into new life and hopes are redeemed.

Focus Fixed

Upward, Onward 
My gaze locked Heavenward
My focus is 
where my hope is ​

April Showers & May Flowers

The world was white 
Encased in water crystallized 

Now Spring has sprung 
The wait is done

Journey of Redemption

"​God has shown me His redemption power as He has shone His grace and love over the path of my journey.

God has made Himself real to me over the past 7 years, real in a way I could not have imagined. Real in a way that brought about the deep healing that I needed."

"Seeds sown in secret
In the secret place of stillness
Selah stillness"​

Choose New

"...living in the power of Christ, through the Holy Spirit, you have access to the victory Christ paid for and won! Is it easy? No. But is it possible? Yes!"​

Bold and pastel 
Who am I 
Only God can tell"​

Rise and Step into a New Day ​

"But then... God steps close to me... and when I am willing to listen to him... hope rises... and I rise in that hope​.

Key part of that - when I am willing to listen and believe God."​
But I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect--
​life in its fullness until you overflow!
