When God says: “Stop! That is Enough!”
Posted on January 31, 2014 3 Comments
Our God is a monitoring God, He is a merciful God, He is a God who is always “just in time” to command, “Stop! That is Enough!” Can we relate to the phrase, “Stop! That is Enough!” “The torturous tickling is paused long enough for the child to catch his breath and scream,”Stop! That is […]
Planting a Church: Building a City, or Two, or Three
Posted on January 30, 2014 2 Comments
Many pastors dream of building or planting a church. Some are called and actually step out in faith as God pours out His favor on their endeavor of faithfulness. The thought of planting a church scares me to death! Confident God would never ask me to do this, I gave my church planting books to […]

One of my greatest joys in ministry is helping God’s people discover their spiritual gifts and give them opportunities to grow these gifts in the local church and beyond. In my context, Women’s Ministry (i.e., Small Groups), there are many ways in which women can do this whether it’s hospitality in hosting a Small Group […]

You’ve just been rescued from under the heavy yoke of slavery. Praise God! Still, that doesn’t quench the thirst you now have.

Although I find myself seeing into a mirror dimly not knowing what will be revealed in 2014, there are some things I am very confident of: 1) I can’t straddle a fence with God and get where I want to be with Him. 2) There is only one God to follow and He has been […]
My 2013 Prayer of Confession
Posted on January 1, 2014 Leave a Comment
Dear God, I confess I haven’t loved you the way you love me. I confess I neglected to act on your Word a few times when it could have made a huge difference. I confess I could have been a better wife, mom, daughter, sister, pastor, and friend. I confess I was more self-centered than […]
