God has a plan. Can you see it?

I’ve been doing a lot of talking about listening lately. And there is at least one more blog left in this Listening series. But it will have to wait for another day because God has a plan. And when God has a plan, it is best to either get on board or move out of the way. Today, I am super excited and not for reasons you might imagine. Yes, the book is coming and will be available on Amazon March 10, 2019. But that’s […]

The importance of listening

I’ve got this theme of LISTENING going on. There is an importance that comes with listening. When we listen, we begin to know the other person. When we listen to God, we begin to know God. I think that’s pretty important stuff. Last week, I wrote a blog, If you are listening, how does God speak? Interesting enough, God spoke to many back in the Bible days including Moses. Through these scripture stories, we can learn how God has spoken before and see how God is […]

If you are listening, then how does God speak?

  In last week’s blog, Are you listening?, we discussed the importance of being quiet and paying attention in order to hear God speak. I challenged you to find some alone time with God to just listen. For me, God speaks in that still small voice. It is an internal hearing, not audible to my external ears. Some might call it intuition, Source, The Divine or the Holy Spirit. It doesn’t matter what you call it. What matters is that you pay attention to it. […]

Are you listening?

I just got back from speaking at a women’s retreat in Nashville, TN. The theme for the weekend was “Do you hear Jesus calling you?”. I have heard Jesus calling me, so I was super excited to share my story. I told story after story of how God spoke to me; from selling our home, leaving our community, then our church and lastly, selling my business to follow the dream of writing a book. By hearing, trusting and obeying God, we have travelled a path […]

Once we begin to be and what that means

  As we deepen our relationship with God, we begin to be who God created us to be. Last week’s blog reminds us how important it is to become that new creation in Christ. It makes me think of 2 Corinthians 4:6 where God tells us that he “made his light shine in our hearts…” It’s exciting to think that God gave us this light and that light not only dwelt among us (Jesus the Emmanuel) but also dwells within us. Exciting stuff if you ask me! This […]

Begin to be and what that means…

Here we are midway through the first month of the new year and I am still very excited about my goals. I long to have a deeper relationship with God, to be all that God created me to be. My blog from a couple weeks ago reminds me that all I need to do is focus on what I want to be. I want to be with God! Mysteriously, God makes me a better person. There is a quote by Marianne Williamson that says, “I am […]
