    • Time to Grow

      I hear the Lord say: I see you are eager to grow in knowledge, wisdom and passion for Me and My Word. It is a good thing to seek Me with all your heart. Be aware, though, of this pursuit becoming a goal instead of a lifestyle. My Word is open to you and I…

    • Abiding

      I hear the Lord say: Slowing down, meditating on My Truth, My Word, and My promises is bringing you much joy. You are experiencing My shalom peace.

    • Serenity

      I hear the Lord say: “So much to do, so little time” you say. I see you fretting about your ‘to do’ list. Instead I beckon to you “come away” with Me. Join Me in peaceful surrender to the day. Stop to enjoy the sunshine, the snow, the quiet hush over the neighborhood. This is…
