Good morning... I have been praying really deeply for loved ones who are facing excruciating challenges. Praying for the promised power of God to rise up and buoy, to strengthen and empower. Many of you have been joining me on this quest, seeking to pray into existence the power of God on behalf of our loved ones. Yesterday, [...]
Good morning... "Sue," wrote a friend from our Monday afternoon study group, which is quietly off for the summer months. "Such a wonderful message from Kate Bowler this week! Hope your summer is going well and the much anticipated wedding arriving so soon! Happy days to you!" I touch on the link she shared and breathe in the [...]
Good morning... In response to yesterday's post, Be Filled Up, she simply texted, "I wish I could stay filled up." "New mercies come every morning," I replied. "Fresh installments of the Spirit each day."

Good morning... After I asked a clarifying question, she said I was being rude. "Rude" was not my intention, but her strong reaction gave me pause. She felt judged by my inquiry.

Good morning... This Mother's Day weekend, I realize that in 112 days I will be a mother-in-law. I am excited to let down my hair and be openly receptive to all the intimate ways I will be touched by our new daughter, Chandler.
