Draw Me Away

We enjoyed our anniversary!  I was reminded of the Shulamite in Song of Solomon The Shulamite 2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth— For your love is better than wine. 3 Because of the fragrance of your good ointments, Your name is ointment poured forth; 4 Draw me away! So we drew away for an overnight.  I was listening…

24 Reasons

Happy Anniversary to my love of 24 years!  I remember a marriage conference in which a speaker shared you don’t find your soul mate, you work at marriage and your mate BECOMES your soul mate.  So true.  Parish and I over the years have grown in more ways than one and truthfully it seems that…

Holy Spirit (FIRE, RAIN, WINE, OIL)

The church of Sardis (in Revelation) was deader than a door nail.  The sermon today was on this precious church that 40 years before it received the correction from God was hopping and on fire.  What happened?  They were rocking and rolling in good works and doing what most churches do but they lacked PASSION…

Only A Mountain by Jason Castro

I wanted to send the lyrics to the song from the previous post…..just too good! Only A Mountain Another day, another fight It always feels like an uphill climb Another step, another mile The story of your lifeIt’s harder than you ever thought And it costs you everything you’ve got When you’re back against the…

Blah Blah Blah

Whatever situation you are in there comes a moment in which the processing of the event or relationship becomes a resounding “blah blah blah”.  You’ve circled the mountain one to many times and perhaps insanity is setting in.  What action or change needs to take place in order to climb the mountain, forge ahead, and…

Prayers With Strangers

A friend inspired this post to be written.  I’ve not been able to get my fingers to the keys but I’ve been writing it in my heart and talking it over with other friends throughout the week.  I was completing a part of my job in which I gather information to support students in the…

I was uptight and out of sight at work today (STRESS!) and got this email from an AMAZING friend who gave me permission to share her update on her journey with cancer!   Her gratitude is amazing!  A grateful heart is a full heart!  A heart full of hope, promise, and joy! Give thanks to…

Small Things

Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies. – Mother Teresa Ever notice it’s easier to present a major project at work than it is to do the dishes for the third time in the same day?  To listen to one more “It’s not fair!” story, or remind a…

God Size Dreams!

I had a wonderful night with my Woman of Worth Mentoring Ministries girls!  We went to the Pregnancy Help Center (http://www.phcchesterfield.com/) and helped move baby items around to another room and heard two great testimonies!  The Pregnancy Help Center is not only there to help you in your time of need if you are pregnant…

Worship in Spirit and Truth…

“God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.” John 4:24 In Worship this morning God brought new meaning to this verse.  Worship can be confusing at times because of its intimacy.  You are at the very throne of God worshiping and praising Him.  It’s only natural that during that time…
