Grieving Leaders
Today, I have on my heart the many ministers who enter into their day serving others while carrying their own pain of grief and loss. Not everyone will, and can, understand that significant burden.
Powerless Platforms
It was around 4:30 this morning when I awoke to these words stirring in my heart and Spirit. It must be important to the Lord.
Make Room
For a few months, I have seemed to be “nesting.” I have kept telling the ladies I felt a shift coming. After a significant amount of pressure, we saw the shifts and made them quickly. Yet, this morning, the Lord lets me know He is not quite done yet.
The Tension
It’s the push and pull between the old and the new. While God is trying to bring you into the new, you have a death grip on the old. The tension of hanging onto both sides of that rope is more than you can bear.
When Grace Speaks
There are times I’ve begged out of my calling when the suffering few see is more than I can handle. I’ve been just like Elijah and pleaded for Heaven after full scale victories. Weariness and fatigue have overtaken me at times, and I have thought seriously about staying down for the count on many occasions.
My Peanut and Jesus
I was letting my 3-year-old granddaughter watch a Beckah Shae music video while I was visiting. I noticed she was more still than usual. There was an illustration of God in the lyric video, and she pointed to it and said, “Sheshy, is that your friend, God?”
Inquire of the Lord
Over the last few years God has been kind to direct me through His Word and through dreams to what He desired as His next assignments. He seems to always be on the move.
Take it or Leave it
I really believe Christ is putting out a call for our faithfulness to what He is asking us to do. We likely believe we are faithful but have often strayed to other things in our lives rather that the things He has asked us to commit to in any given season.
When the Cost Becomes Too Much
For some there is now a crossroads. The Lord whispered in my ear this morning that some have deemed the “cost as becoming too much.” I felt this was literally the financial cost although it certainly could mean beyond finances as well.
The Letter
Last night I had a dream. In the dream a man who seemed Arab walked up to me and gave me a letter. I quickly realized the letter wasn’t authentically Jesus although it looked like it from the outside.
