The Ultimate ‘Laugh Out Loud’

Yesterday, as I was working on flags, I used the earphones that came with my iPhone and listened to Graham Cooke speaking over me the things God was telling him…talk about POWERFUL! Recently, I saw the movie “John Wick” and mentioned how I’d like to be like HIM in the spiritual realm. While listening to this word, that’s how I felt. Continue reading

What Faith is Like

I’m sure there are perfect Christians out there, who never agree with fear, never have doubt, never lose track, etc., but I’m not one of them, and yesterday, I made the mistake of looking at my bank account balance…never a good idea, but Nathan wanted some specific food from Sam’s Club, so I needed to check.

When I saw my balance, I thought, “Oh, no! What am I doing! How is this going to make sense! The kids depend on me. What am I going to do?, etc.” It was fast. It was accurate (to the world). It was NOT Kingdom living, and I got sucked right into it. It was crazy. Continue reading

“A Little of Everything”

I know what it’s like to be loved
I know what it’s like to be hated
I know what it’s like to be forgiven
I know what it’s like to be resented
I know what it’s like to be welcomed
I know what it’s like to be in the way
I know what it’s like to be remembered
I know what it’s like to be forgotten
I know what it’s like to taste fear
I know what it’s like to breathe faith
I know what it’s like

“Blindfolded”

when the bills are due and you’re just ‘not there’ yet
when everything you spend cuts into the rent
when your problems point to the promises

no need to worry
no need to fret

another opportunity
to trust
to believe
to listen
to move

walking by faith
leaving everything behind
discovering new land
to live in

“In One Dance”

dancing
in a dream
that’s reality

twirling
up on stage
with new desires

beauty
of the flag
released from my heart

do they know
do they realize
does it matter

being up on stage
not craving attention
being up on stage
not looking for money
being up on stage
dancing only for ONE

dancing
to the rhythm of His Love
to the breath of His Spirit
to the thoughts He has of me

years forgotten
time restored
angelic present
releasing a song
of redemption

Time Redeemed in a Dance

Yesterday, I went to Beach Chapel to deliver some flags and to creep up on Henry (hee hee hee). Both of those things were accomplished, but God had way bigger things in store for me.

“…in store for me”…I can’t even imagine all that God has stored up for me in heaven that He’ll be releasing. It’s astonishing!

Anyway, as I was dancing with flags, I felt the desire to go up on stage but wasn’t sure if I had that favor, so I stayed where I was. Before communion, we sat to pray, and at that moment, Henry motioned for me to come up on stage, so I went. Continue reading

“The Voice of Traffic”

a cop speeds ahead
on the highway
lights flashing
pacing across all lanes
stopping traffic

not doubt
for safety

the traffic slows
reluctantly
waiting to gun it
ready to pass
but heeding the warning

how many times
has the Holy Spirit
warned us to slow down
maybe stop
and we can’t wait to pass Him
