How do I begin a blog post with a story that is worthy of a megaphone heard world-wide? I’d like to stand on the hilltops dancing praises to Jesus and declaring His great worth before all the nations rather than writing a measly post. However small it may seem, my prayer is that this story…
I’m over at Every Bitter thing is Sweet today, posting about my dealing with hurt from others.
We sat talking about the challenges of motherhood and even our shared experience of visiting the depths of despair that debilitates. It was one of those conversations in which the Lord held a mirror up for me to see when I doubt who He really is, of the power He offers to work through my…
I’ve always stiffened when I hear talk of having a “quiet time,” with the Lord and how it’s the most important part of our day. Most often when I’ve heard it mentioned, it’s emphasized that we can’t function without that hour in the morning before our day begins. It’s not because I don’t think it’s…
“Jesus I can’t be a mom today unless you show up. I have no reserves and feel totally inadequate to meet the demands placed on me already today. Please come!!” Part of a text sent to a confidant yesterday, I began my day feeling my total depravity and need for the Lord to move…
I am guest posting over at WOG Magazine today…what a sweet, humbling opportunity! By the way…here’s the song I reference in the article. Go to 37:27 minutes into it (sorry, this is the best version and it’s the only way I could find it). Although, the entire album will minister to you, as you minister…
Come as close as You want, Consume this heart that longs to burn I know Your fire can hurt, But I would be worse here without You For I was made to dwell with You, And how I ache until I do Holy God, Take my heart, Purge with flame and truth! Holy heart is…
“I waited patiently for the Lord; and He inclined to me, and heard my cry. He brought me up out of the pit of destruction and out of the miry clay; and He set my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm. And he put a new song in my mouth, a song of…
“How precious is Thy lovingkindness, O God! And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings. They drink their fill of the abundance of Your house; and Thou dost give them to drink of the river of Thy delights. For with Thee is the fountain of life; in Thee we see…
“Lead me in Thy truth and teach me, for Thou art the God my salvation; for Thee I wait all the day.” Psalm 25:5 I have spoken these words back to you and to my own heart countless times. Pacing, knowing that if I don’t believe, the only other option is despair. What hope do…
“Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; Thou hast loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness.” Psalm 30:11 The hesitant turns of a little girl now grown are turning into free, wholehearted twirls of delight for her Daddy. The sin that magnifies the opinions of others and shrinks the Truth of the…
I’m sitting in my own little prayer room, just over at the Starbucks down the street. It’s been a busy week with many children (think more than five, two less than ten) in our home at one time. I’m in need of some Kelly-Jesus time. There are so many things on the horizon in life…
