It’s that time of year again. The time for New Year’s resolutions. Do you do New Year’s Resolutions? For years I did do that. My husband never agreed to it though I passionately encouraged him to. But then I heard of a new process. Instead of doing New Year’s Resolutions, a more profitable reset isContinue reading “Happy New Year 2026!”

A Christmas Song for you!
Merry Christmas! I hope you had a wonderful day with family and friends and mostly with Jesus, celebrating His birth! We did too! We are a musical family and so it is no wonder that the Holy Spirit gave me a special song, a Christmas carol, that has continuously been ringing in my mind. CanContinue reading “A Christmas Song for you!”
Identity
I’d like to share with you a long conversation that I had with the Lord this week. The summary is that I am ignoring Him. That sounds awful, doesn’t it?! It is a terrible thing for a christian, surrendered and in ministry, to ignore God. One of the results of ignoring God is that weContinue reading “Identity”
Stray Thoughts
I was in a ministry session. My assignment was to pray. We were in a spiritual battle. In these situations I often feel ‘spirit prompts’ toward a certain passage in the Bible. Then I pray it. Or a reminder picture will come to my mind and I will pray about that. But on this dayContinue reading “Stray Thoughts”
Throw the Heavies on Jesus!
This past summer we went tent camping for four days at Lost Lake, Oregon–apparently the most photographed lake in Oregon! We hiked, swam, read and slept long hours in the fresh air. One morning I woke up early and had a song ringing in my mind. I felt like it was a song from theContinue reading “Throw the Heavies on Jesus!”
Judging
My serious concern about judging began after an unusual encounter. I was walking with two others on the streets of Portland Oregon doing an assigned street ministry from a conference there. A homeless man was before me and it was my turn for sharing the gospel tract we were supposed to practice. I greeted him,Continue reading “Judging”
Toxic Mother/Daughter Relationships
I’m in a deliverance ministry as an ‘intercessor’. My job is to pray (on the sidelines) for an individual’s freedom before, during and after his/her actual prayer session. I believe it is most important for me to use the gifts of the Holy Spirit for doing this warfare ministry. I could see and think withContinue reading “Toxic Mother/Daughter Relationships”
Financial Deliverance
I remember a time when money was really tight. Going to Goodwill for a tank top for summer wasn’t a choice. All our money was going elsewhere. It is very difficult when family finances are lean. I remember a story from my parents (before I was born) when they were down to their last potatoContinue reading “Financial Deliverance”
The Hippo’s Tail Strategy for Spiritual Warfare
I was sitting in my war-room nook, praying for wisdom for a special person I was going to meet that day. She was enduring some spiritual warfare on a continuous basis. My heart went out to her and I was asking the Lord to give me something to help her. And just then my dearContinue reading “The Hippo’s Tail Strategy for Spiritual Warfare”
Forgiveness for Freedom!
How many times have I sat in a room or online and listened to a person forgive people out loud. Hundreds? It never ever gets old. Some pronouncements have broken my heart at what individuals have endured in their childhood, or in their marriages. I’ve later wept and sorrowed at these stories. And yet, becauseContinue reading “Forgiveness for Freedom!”
