Back in January, I began writing blogs for 2020 with the theme of “seeing with our spiritual eyes.” It made sense. Who doesn’t want to have perfect vision from a spiritual standpoint? But, why would I write about strengthening our spiritual eyes even though I had no idea how much we were going to need them? Because the Holy Spirit knows all things. Imparting wisdom, the Spirit was teaching me that when we see things from a spiritual perspective, we see things a whole lot […]

In the midst of our global pandemic, raging political climate and escalating racial injustice, it is hard to be sure of anything. But as believers, there is one thing we can be sure of; the Holy Spirit lives within us. Last week, we learned about the power from heaven and where to find it. Today, I want to show you how you can be sure you have it and why this is so important. In Acts Chapter 2, the crowd is amazed as the power […]
Did you know that we have access to the power from heaven? That power is the Holy Spirit living within us.

Waking up this morning, I was surprised to hear a precious little song playing in my head, “This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine…” As I moved through my day, the song did not subside. So I began singing it out loud and it comforted me. Years ago, I remember learning the song at church. As I grew, so did the song. Later, I learned verses like “Hide it under a bushel? No! I’m gonna let it shine.” And, “Don’t let Satan […]
I think I might be racist. I’ve been struggling ever since I heard of George Floyd’s death. I don’t know what to do about it, but I know I must do something. When I first watched the 11-minute video in its entirety, I felt something strange inside of me. Confused by the officer’s actions, I began wanting to see what happened before Floyd ended up on the ground. My husband reminded me that there was nothing that could have happened before that would have justified […]
