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…
In this beautiful journey deeper into the Father’s heart over the last year, He has been giving me plenty of testimonies of His love for me. Things He accomplishes that demonstrate very clearly His delight in me and lavishing love toward me have been easier for me to see. Whether they are increasing in frequency…
My fear is a result of the desire to be enslaved again. Even though I am not fully alive in my soul when I’m bound by fear, I cling to it like a cherished security blanket. Full of holes but so smooth to the touch, this cheap substitute of alluring fear takes the place of…

I sent an email to Blane recently that said something along the lines of, “This season of life with small kids is hard. I am responsible for teaching them everything they need to know. It is filled with training, discipline, and often times, it seems that is what fills our schedule the most. It’s hard,…
Last Sunday, Tony Carter visited our church and preached on the Providence of God. The thrust of his message was that providence is always best seen in hindsight.
