Last night I had an open door to step up to an upcoming opportunity to share my testimony, but I missed it. On my way home -- I felt in my spirit God was asking me: "Why didn't you take it?" I responded: "I wanted others to have that opportunity."
He reminded me that I am in a season of new beginnings. He has blessed me with a new voice, incredible joy, and a deep-seeded passion to share the message of His love and saving Grace. He has been unfolding opportunities for me to share His love in the most creative ways, something I've been praying for - for some time now. And He has been answering my prayer - every day. So why didn't I recognize last night as part of this?
Time to learn about humility. Humility has its time and place to run solo, but when God opens a door, I need to walk through it... this is obedience. And also knowing God desires to bless me and others through the doors He opens for me specifically glorifies Him when I receive it! I am thankful God shared with me what He did. His love for me in this not only embraces me -- it grows and matures me even deeper. I am ready to go forward again, and my joy in the Lord is yet rising. I am ready to speak His love forward, one open door at a time.
Dear one, when God blesses you, receive His favor and His embrace... the door is opening. Are you ready?
Blessings in abundance, dear one!

Hello, my friend! I am rejoicing with you as you go forward in the journey He has laid before you! I am trusting the good is now, the better is ahead, and the best is yet to happen.. Let the embrace of God's written Word as spoken by God Himself be yours this day:
"'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,' declares the Lord, 'and will bring you back from captivity..'" Jeremiah 29:11-14a
Blessings!

Hello friends ... It has been awhile, but sometimes we need to step away from our norm to refill and experience life from the inside-out so we can grow and deepen our steps wherever He leads. I hope you are well in this new year and that you and your families are blessed to the overflow!
I'm trying a new approach with this blog post. I hope you enjoy this and even more - that this post will speak to you like it did to me Your feedback is most appreciated! Blessings upon you!

Traffic was backed up on my way to work one morning. I
assumed it was road work, or worst case scenario, an accident. Yet, no one was
directing traffic. There were no emergency vehicles.
Eventually, I saw what was holding all of us captive and
making me late for work. It was a petite elderly man, who couldn’t have been
any younger than 80 years old, riding a mountain bike. He was peddling slow but
steady on the edge of the road. With unbelievably good posture and control, he
was focusing intently on the road straight ahead as he grinned, revealing a few
missing teeth. The knee pads he wore matched his elbow pads and helmet. His joy was
contagious! Any frustration I had running behind schedule quickly melted.
