Books for the babes, blog for the Body!
Many times growing up I heard the challenge, "Oh yeah? Prove it!" Society has taught us not to believe anything until we see concrete evidence supporting that belief. However, our Lord says in Isaiah 55:7-9, his ways and thoughts are higher than our own. God wants us to believe first, then we will see it.... Continue Reading →
At about two o’clock one morning I woke up, and felt the need to pray in the Spirit. There are prayers to God in our own language. Then, there are prayers to God in a heavenly language (1 Corinthians 12:4-11). I told of how I received my prayer language in a previous post, I Need... Continue Reading →
Mom, my children, and I went on a weekend trip to the lake. I didn’t actually see the lake, but I knew it was there. The area was heavily wooded with several log cabins scattered throughout. When we walked into a cabin, the room was well lit and filled with people who were talking, drinking,... Continue Reading →
In the Bible I have read many verses telling of God's healing power. In Psalm 103:3, Scripture says he forgives all our sins and heals all our diseases. I know I've said this before in one of my previous posts, but if my Father is big enough to do miracles, he's too big for me... Continue Reading →

If you receive anything inspiring or encouraging from my posts, it's the Holy Spirit. If you have... Continue Reading →
Recently I was accused of making "sweeping statements" without providing viable supporting references. Although this accusation is not a surprise to me (1 Peter 5:8), my fiery Irish spirit relishes the opportunity for a good debate. In addition, I believe God allowed this minor attack on my character (Job 1:8) because he knew there was... Continue Reading →
In my house there is a fireplace in the living room and a wood stove in the basement. My ex-husband had a chainsaw, and I’d help him split wood and stack it in the basement. However, when he left I worried. What if the power goes out? I don’t have a chainsaw. This house is... Continue Reading →
