I went to church today after being in a season of hiding since Autumn of last year. Before we left the house, I felt the Holy Spirit motion me away from the perfume I was about to put on my body. He said, “I have a scent for you there.” So, I obeyed and put my perfume down on the counter without using it. I thought to myself “Hmmm.. maybe I am going to get to experience the supernatural fragrance that I sense at times during worship?” My husband drove us to Eau Claire, while I knitted the blanket I’ve been working on for little Oakley. 🩷 My niece’s first…

As we are unified in the Holy Spirit as the bride of Christ, it’s important to understand the first part of His beautiful Name. HOLY. Set apart, sacred, and pure. the HOLY Spirit. In order to avoid grieving the Holy Spirit of the LORD, although you are in this world, you cannot be of this world. We are called to pick up our cross and walk, every. single. day. Once you understand this simple fact, you will understand that the way you act, talk, and live is a direct reflection of whether or not you are filled with His glorious Presence. As a man speaks, the condition of his heart…

I feel led to share with you what I’ve been up to lately. I am working on writing a book, and starting the ministry that God has called me to steward. I’ve also been working full-time. I really do enjoy my job. I get to sit at the same desk each day, at a microscope, and work on medical equipment, military devices, airplane technology, etc… The customers are all confidential, so I have no idea who I’m working for or what I’m working on specifically. I read the work instructions of the engineers and do my very best. It is very detailed, and time-sensitive work due to the overnight shipments…

My sister and I were talking on the phone for almost an hour the other day. I went through spiritual warfare at the highest degree this week, as I’m sure all of you have as well. Being part of the body of Christ means that we all experience similar occurrences even if we’re apart from each other and halfway across the earth! “And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.” (1 Corinthians 12:26 – I highly recommend reading the entire chapter; you won’t regret it!) Suddenly, she paused and said “God doesn’t waste pain.” Her words hit me like…

When God is preparing you for something great, first He puts you through the refiner’s fire. He teaches you how to trust in Him. He guides you in the way you’re meant to go. He does everything necessary to purify your heart and intentions. Like gold, you are refined until He can see His reflection gazing back at Him. We are here on this earth to have a relationship with Him, and anything we experience here is part of the journey back to our first love — Jesus. When you come to this realization, you start to feel lighter. We all fall short of the glory of God. He is…
