Recently I was in a very mixed group of people in a 3 week class. Lots of them do not know the Lord at all.  I loved it!  I didn’t realize how much I had missed them. They are so hungry for the love of the Father! Thinking about them I realized it has been a long time since I shared with anyone the basics of what the gospel actually is to me. I would want be able to share it with them in the simplest way while still being complete.  At… Read More

This is a re-post of a blog I wrote a couple years ago.  As we enter into Rosh Hashanah and the Jewish Fall Feasts, it seems particularly appropriate. I hope you find yourself, as the Beloved, in this story. For her, this chance was her last gasp, her last fragment of hope to be healed and restored from the wasting sickness that had aged her, made her pale, given her dark circles under her eyes, stolen her strength, stolen her energy, stolen her hope. But would she dare? The oppression her culture… Read More

I heard a whispered, “Elohim.” I knew that Holy Spirit had said it.  Suddenly I felt the Presence of the Holy Trinity!  The room grew heavy and crowded. Elohim; Divine family, perfect love, friendship Elohim; Divine trust, unity, cooperation, even humility. Elohim Ancient of Days, Holy oneness, rivers of joy; Elohim Grace upon grace; Elohim My master, my savior, my husband,  my friend; Elohim. Creator of Heaven and Earth; Elohim God of oneness, intimate friendship; Elohim Most powerful union; Elohim

Jesus is our perfect husband.  He loves us more than himself, he chooses us before His own comfort.  On the cross, He chose us over His own life. In Genesis, Adam is the first husband ever.  Adam had heard the word of God, the warning about the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil (Genesis 2:17).  Yet, when Eve, who had not heard the word directly from the Lord, offered him the fruit he took it, because it was appealing to the flesh.  Similarly, Abraham, the husband of Sarah had heard the… Read More

This week was spring break and my daughter was home from school. She loves the show, It’s Supernatural with Sid Roth.  I watched an episode with her and the guest on the show, Chad Gonzalez, caught my attention. Chad talked about a former witch doctor he met in Africa who had been very powerful in the demonic world.  The man was now a follower of the Lord Jesus.  But in curiosity, Chad asked him about how he had operated in his old life.  The man said something that really caught my attention….

As I reflect on 2021, I feel expanded; not only in my waistline…I’ll soon return to strengthening and minimizing my physical self, but also in my internal house.  2021 was chock full of opportunities to trust Jesus in greater depths and to be expanded in our faith, in our understanding and in hope. This year my friend Marti, who is about 10 years older than me, (don’t tell her I told you), has been talking about her new perspective on her future self.  She used to avoid thinking about aging and didn’t… Read More

“I’ll be back in a bit, hon,” my new husband shouted over his shoulder as he hurried out the door of our small apartment.   “I wonder what’s he’s up too?”  I pondered. An hour passed, and my mind began to race wondering what trouble he might be getting into.  We had been married less than a year.  Our small Charlie Brown Christmas tree leaned in the corner with the few dangling ornaments we had inherited from our childhood.  An antique Mary and Joseph in a faded yellow dome took center stage… Read More

This is a word the Lord gave me for the attendees of an event this past weekend.  It was for them, but it is also truth for all His daughters.  I hope it blesses you. My dear daughter, How beautiful you are to me. Your heart sings to me and I am astonished at your beauty. Beauty within and beauty without. Every travail of your heart has been felt by me. I share it with you. You are not alone. In the same way, every longing in your heart to do and… Read More
