The Free Indeed
I’ve watched women in my family and abroad shoulder weight that wasn’t their own to carry, bearing the burdens of wicked white people and miserable men and and needy children and soul sucking jobs and time consuming churches. The only places where they seemed to be able to cut loose was in the dances and […]

It’s Not an Attack if It’s True
Confession: I am a sensitive person. It comes with the territory of being rejected early in life and often throughout. I am just now, 40 some odd years in, being delivered from the spirit of perfectionism and pride that comes along with the shame of not being wanted—being forsaken. Some of you are struggling with […]

How Your “First Mind” Could Be The Wrong Kind, Too
““The heart is deceitful above all things And it is extremely sick; Who can understand it fully and know its secret motives?” Jeremiah 17:9 AMP Have you have heard someone say, “I should have followed my first mind?” In most cases, it’s said right after someone makes a mistake or does something that causes confusion […]

Reminder: Thank You Makes Room for More
In everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 I’ve had people say to me, “Why are you putting so much effort into this little house/this student/this job/etc?” My response is ALWAYS: Thank you makes room for more.” If you don’t appreciate where you are—don’t […]

Made.
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. Psalm 139:14 I spent a bit of time in life trying to fit in only to recognize I was destined to be different—Then I swung in the other direction and dug in tooooo […]

The Stabilizing Power of Jesus Christ
But God hath not given unto us a spirit of fear; but of power, of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7 Do you know what it is like to spend your entire life having your thought life arrested? Like, having everyone important in your life question and sometimes outright deny the validity […]

Intercession. Compassion. Mercy.
I’m going to say something really mean. Waiting until people experience trauma to respond with prayer is super lame. And I don’t mean to say that prayer is no longer necessary once trauma occurs (indeed it becomes so vital then for obvious reasons); I simply mean that true prayer, true intercession leads to 3 things: […]

Moving Forward
TestimonyforToday: I am easily offended. And when someone is being deliberately jerky and unpleasant my offended self gets REALLY riled up. As I have prayed and asked God to make me better, He has shown me that this isn’t some personality flaw-I really am wrestling with a spirit (Ephesians 6:12). My fight is NOT TRYING […]

There is no “new year, new me”
I have not waited to begin the slow and steady process of being myself. I’ve shed all the people, shed all the things, shed the need for validation, shed every tear I could muster, shed broken belief systems, shed expecting anything from ANYBODY but God, shed expecting miracles to fall from the sky. I have […]

God is HOLY
In this new age, we have lost the reverence of God. We have made God common, regular, relegating God to just the things which comfort us. Father. Healer. Provider. Protector. Deliverer. We have placed Elohim on the same level as Zeus, Astarte, and any number of idols created by the hands of man. But Proverbs […]
