The Following Word rings true…especially of late. I’ve been manic for several weeks and in these “deep and dark” places and times I remind myself that even here, God is at work. If…I let Him, He will pour His strength into my weakness, His provision and power overcomes my frail inabilities, and His hope rises within. I have to believe something beautiful is developing within….

 Lily of The Valley

Do you not know that the Lily of The Valley grows in deep and difficult places? When it is dark and seemingly barren, rest in the knowledge that beneath the soil, deep within your heart, My roots are growing deeper. Deeper and deeper they spread, anchoring your soul. Yes, it is in the pleasant places where the sun shines forth the beauty of the Lily for all to see. But know and understand My love, if not for the cold, damp, dark and difficult place, the root system would not have become established, and therefore, no blossom would have emerged. Remember My love, The Lily of the Valley grows in deep and difficult places.

Look to Me. I AM here.

Look Out Upon the Water 

   “Meanwhile the disciples were in trouble far away from land, for a strong wind has risen, and they were fighting heavy waves.

About three o’ clock in the morning Jesus came to them, walking on the water.”  Matthew 14: 24-25 NLT   Read more »

                       "L" is for Love                                        

Basking in my most recent mother-flop, I confess at this precise moment, L is for “Loser.” Gone are all the triumphant memories of Birthday Parties and special mother-daughter play dates; playing dress-up, Barbie’s, reading stories or doing an art project together. All is lost in the current sea of failure. I blew it. And no matter how I want to retrieve the moment, it’s gone forever.   Read more »

                                       Wait

          The Lord longs to advise,    comfort, counsel, and lead but  we are often too busy to pause,   listen, and follow. Service for     Jesus is good, service with  Jesus is best. Remember Mary  and Martha... Martha was so  busy serving Jesus that she  was frantic and weary,  forgetting The Father's Heart.  Whereas Mary was sitting at His  feet soaking, and receiving The  Father's Heart, so that she'd  have an abundance to pour out upon the hungry.

 The following is an excerpt from    my Intimacy Devotional:

'Wait on Me. Action will come. Fret not; stillness equals production right now. I AM working in you so that I may work through you. Wait on Me. Hope expectantly, and look for Me to meet you with a healing gust of My Spirit. Your soul shall be lifted, your inner man strengthened, and your path charted before you. O My love, I say wait on Me. Behold your Messiah comes- and not a moment too late.'
