When I was in college I took a beginning photography class. I had always loved photography, and even did some freelance work for friends and family. I remember working in a 24-hour photo developing store at a local shopping mall. I am not old by any means, but I remember mixing chemicals in order to... Continue Reading →
Bug Spray
As I begin this post I want to start with a disclaimer: I am not a dream interpreter. I have, however, received several dreams from my Lord since the first one in 2017. I have listened to godly men and women who studied the Bible and were given the gift of interpreting dreams. Through their... Continue Reading →
prayer And PRAYER
A few years ago a friend of mine got into a terrible car accident. Her neck was injured severely. Now there is prayer, which Christians are taught to do both in and out of church. Then, there is PRAYER. The difference between prayer and PRAYER is how desperately you want God to answer you. I... Continue Reading →
Come out!
As an agronomist, I spent many summers in corn fields. One day the Lord showed me life is much like being in a corn field. One can look up, see the sky, and hear the wind of the Holy Spirit, but cannot feel him. One can only get a small breath every now and then.... Continue Reading →
Forgiveness Like Rain
I'm not going to lie. When I found out about my ex-husband's unfaithfulness, I was working as a part time housekeeper in the local hotel. Being alone all day while I worked created a playground for Satan in my mind. I would envision myself bumping into the "other woman" and being nice to her because... Continue Reading →
Smelt, Not Smite
A while back God woke me up in the middle of the night. He told me to pray for my sister. I felt no fear or anxiety for her, just a very clear understanding to pray for her. There was even a slight urgency to his request. I remembered the sensation I felt from my... Continue Reading →
Step It Up!
Due to the depressed agriculture market one year, my company's sales had been down. My territory manager’s boss gave the lowest earning scouts two years to reach at least $150,000 in sales. If they couldn’t, they would be let go. Now let me tell you what $150,000 in sales meant at that point in time.... Continue Reading →
Distracted
Growing up I was taught how to pray. I was encouraged to pray. We prayed before meals, before bedtime, before church, before funerals. There were prayers for confession, prayers for protection, prayers to saints, and prayers for seasons. I had my own little book of prayers I could read in case I couldn't come up...

Don’t Be A Christian
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 →
Got Wood?
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 →
