When God Surprises You With His Kindness

I just want to give testimony to God’s unexpected kindness. His mercy. How sometimes He can surprise you with something you didn’t see coming, but something you needed. I’d been in full-time ministry a long time. I was pretty worn out. I’d battled anxiety on and off. I thought a few times that a SabbaticalContinue reading “When God Surprises You With His Kindness”

When Your World Suddenly Changes…

Wow, so it’s a bit of a crazy time right now! A few weeks ago, everything changed when the Lord made it clear that He is leading me to leave my role in ministry, which I’ve done for over 13 years, because He is calling me to something new.

When it Doesn’t Make Sense

God has been teaching me lately about trusting Him. About trusting in God’s goodness when it doesn’t make sense. Trusting that He is acting in love, and that He knows what He is doing.

When You Just Can’t Get it All Done

There is a fear that sometimes looms over my day or my project or even my life: what if I don’t get this done in time? Is that something you ever struggle with? As the healing love of God ministers to me, over time, I find Him highlighting strongholds in my life that have beenContinue reading “When You Just Can’t Get it All Done”

Breaking Free From Anxiety

Do you ever feel that anxiety is weighing you down? Stealing from you? That your life would be a whole lot better without it? Anxiety is such a part of my life that I have kind of got used to it (can you relate?). But I don’t think anxiety is meant to be normal! AContinue reading “Breaking Free From Anxiety”
