Restoration and Reconciliation
When I hear the word restoration it reminds me of an old chest getting another chance to shine and be what it was once meant to be.
Crossing2Freedom
So often we quote this verse and verses like them, without really experiencing them. Are you living a life that looks free indeed?
Is it really a blessed life?
Your personal best life?
“What God Reveals, He Heals!”
One of the most powerful lessons I’ve learned through this ministry and the CROSSING2FREEDOM classes is this: when my immediate response to a situation or personality is big and quick, there’s a deeper root issue causing the anger or pain.
Can These Bones Live? But God!
Too Big! Too far gone! Too messy! Too much pain! Too many broken pieces! When you look around you or even AT yourself or your situation, what is the “too” you see?
Who Champions You?
Ever have one of those days or even seasons that it seems like everything you have believed you were to be about or your purpose is coming into question, seemingly hijacked?
No One Craves Brokenness
No one craves brokenness…but perhaps we should. The literal translation of verse 9 is that when we are weak, God comes and pitches a tent over us and dwells with us until we are strong. I’m learning to be ok with waiting in my brokenness as long as He stays with me.
Journey From Fear to Surrender
Fear has been the greatest tool of the enemy in my life for as long as I can remember, specifically the “what if” fears which invite worry. As a little girl, I remember being very fearful of getting lost or left somewhere. I tried to control this fear by staying close to my parents at all times, even in our house. As a teenager, I had a deeply rooted fear of being disrespected or dishonored publicly. I tried to control this through aggression & defensiveness. As a young woman, that fear of rejection showed up in my life in the form of using people & rejecting others before they could reject me. I tried to control this by hardening my heart.
Lion or Lamb
Last week, I listened to a choir rendition of “The Lion & The Lamb”. As the final chorus reached the crescendo, it moved me to tears. Yes, Jesus is both The Lamb of God and The Lion of Judah.
