Defiant Joy: Greener Grass
He makes me lie down in green pastures. — Psalm 23:2 The tree was moving. There was no wind, but the leaves were fluttering with life. It was as if it had been quickened by an invisible command that no one could hear. No one, that is, but those who could fly. I approached the tree to get a closer look, and as I did the leaves erupted with the sound of hundreds of beating wings. As one, the tiny birds took to the air and swept the sky like a banner of silk waving in the breeze. I had come too near. Watching this aerial symphony take flight filled me with…

Busting The Enemy’s Plan
I pray often. Why? Because I expect God to answer. I’ve seen him answer countless prayers. I know He has show-up and show-off power so divine — it can change anything and everything, in a split-second. I rely on prayer like breakfast. “And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.” (Jo. 14:13) Anyway, my husband and I have recently talked about how people — people we don’t even know — are likely praying for us. We just got the sense that God was putting us on people’s heart. Today, I saw this come to reality. I clicked into…

Best Thing I Heard Today: April 23, 2019
Kirk Franklin — “Just For Me” As I’ve stated before, I am not an expert or aficionado when it comes to various genres of music (like Gospel or Southern Gospel). However, that doesn’t mean I don’t like them. On the contrary. I am a firm believer that a truly great song—no matter the genre—resonates with most people regardless of their own personal musical tastes. When I hear a truly well crafted song from a talented performer for group, it transcends the boundaries of genre in my opinion. That is why I can confidently recommend that you check out this new live, in-studio jam/video from Kirk Franklin. Kirk Franklin‘s new song, “Just For…
