So on and off Friday evening and most of the day Saturday I studied, I worshiped, and I prayed. I was seeking God in a way and with an intensity that I never had before. I wanted His answers, not mine. But nothing was happening. Saturday evening, I took a break to do some laundry. While […]
Read More...Could I really go back to a Pentecostal church again? I had walked away from all of that years ago. I had done everything but literally shake the dust off my feet. And yet, over the previous few months, I had been questioning whether I had “thrown out the baby with the bathwater” so to […]
Read More...If you haven’t already read them, this story starts here and continues here. It’ll make more sense if you read those posts first 🙂 So I went to the prayer meeting. That was my first time visiting Resurrection Life. Pastor Cody had preached on prayer at Jubilee, but I still wasn’t exactly sure what a […]
Read More...I like to have a plan. And a backup plan. And a backup to the backup plan. And I hate it when things deviate from the plan. I’m a planner. Which is really just a nice way of saying that I can be quite the control freak. 🙂 But God is a better planner 🙂 […]
Read More...It’s been a while again since I’ve shared a blog here! It’s certainly not because nothing has been happening. A LOT has been happening! And it’s not that I haven’t written anything… it’s just been hard to finish any of it 🙂 So here’s a quick update! I was a bit vague in my last […]
Read More...It’s Thanksgiving! And this year, I’m especially thankful for an answer to prayer that I wasn’t expecting because, frankly, I quit praying for it a long time ago. It began last week with a painful confrontation that felt like anything but an answer to prayer. It was something that completely blindsided me. I didn’t think […]
Read More...Last night, for some reason, I wound up with a song stuck in my head. It’s actually a pretty well-known Mexican song from the 1940s, Besame Mucho. It’s been recorded by a lot of famous singers over the years, but the version playing in my head was never recorded. I first heard it on a subway platform ~25 […]
Read More...I’ve been to this page on my blog many times over the last few months… only to be stopped cold at that line: Add New Post. Well, not that line, really… it’s the line right below it, the one with the ghost text prompting me that I need to “Enter title here.” I tentatively enter a few […]
Read More...Six weeks ago, at the beginning of October, I had a horrible, painful, concentration-breaking, sleep-depriving, nasty sinus headache. In the grand scheme of things, not really a big deal. I knew I’d get through it soon enough, I was just going to have to “tough it out.” Unfortunately, it would appear that I’m not really […]
Read More...A minister (whom I respect) likes to say that he won’t have his quiet time until he is showered and dressed for the day. While he believes that this is a good practice and encourages it, he doesn’t teach that everyone has to do it that way. He just feels that being showered and dressed is proper […]
