  • Jesus Gets His Hands Dirty

    Jesus Gets His Hands Dirty

    Jesus’ heart melts me. His kindness. His willingness. His sacrificial love to go the greatest lengths necessary for us when we’re in jeopardy. He sees our mess and He dives in with us. There is no mess He won’t jump into. In the John chapter 9, Jesus is walking along with His disciples and notices…

  • Lily of the Valleys and Healing Contagions

    Leaves were swaying softly outside the window. The empty space of the room beckoned a melody as I scrolled through the songs awaiting play. I didn’t know which one to choose this time. What song do you want to play? I asked God. I waited… Scrolling through the ones I usually have on repeat. Extravagant,…

  • Beloved Identity

    Beloved Identity

      “One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to Him.” John 13:23 I love John’s fervor to call himself “the one Jesus loved” in his own gospel. He knew who He was to Jesus. Loved. Cherished. And he identified himself according to that love. Every disciple was loved by Jesus and…

  • When Others Cloud Your Vision

    When Others Cloud Your Vision

      White frames. Pink frames. Brown frames. Sparkly frames. Like picking out the ornamental border on a photograph. Heart-shaped. Round-shaped. Square-shaped. Oval shaped. Akin to the cookie cutters dawning at Christmastime. Sprinkles overflowing were missing this occasion as my decorative pieces scattered the counter. Samples in hand as I made my selections. This time it…

    Your Hands Are Not Tied

    God has been speaking to me lately about a lot of various words and meanings related to hands. At the onset of this a couple weeks ago I saw a vision and I’ve been thinking about it since. There was large floor before the throne of the Lord. All views were covered in a film…

  • A Royal Diadem

    A Royal Diadem

    “You will also be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord, And a royal diadem in the hand of your God.” Isaiah 62:3 When I think about God’s radical love to clothe us in His glory, I’m awe-struck at the thought of it. Enchanted by it… Then swept up in it… His love is beautiful.…

    It was your voice that moved me

      It was your voice that moved me roaring waters in the molecules of space where I forgot what color it was in the universe orbiting the stars was it peaches and baby blue in every hue of crystalline views abounding was it red wine and gray in every shade of thunderous concertos resounding when I…
