Encouraging and Equipping for Victorious Kingdom Living
"They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor."
Isaiah 61:3
Do you ever feel, well… ordinary? I sure do.
I thought by this stage of life I’d have it all together. I’d be living my dream. I’d be successful beyond imagination. I’d be “somebody.” I’d be a princess… Ok, but I really did think my life would be different from the way it looks now. You know what I mean?
I’ve found that rather than becoming more focused as I’ve aged, my life feels more scattered. I’m a wife, a mother of an adult son, a mother-in-love, and a grandma. I’m the wife of a hubby suffering from Parkinson’s Disease. I’m a writer, a speaker, a trainer, and a prayer minister. I’m a Boomer, facing all the joys and challenges of that life stage. Sometimes it’s easy to feel I’ve missed my calling.

And yet, over and over, the Israelites grumbled, complained, and whined. They didn’t like the water. They didn’t like the food. They […]

Communion: Do I Love Enough to Stay?
When I take daily communion these days it’s usually for a severe physical need. Seems like I always have something going on. Physical, emotional, spiritual. And I always wonder if God will come through THIS time. Then I remember that He always has. I remember that so many of my prayer requests are no more. […]
