Today You came in the shape of an infant heavy on my chest. the sweet smell of her skin, the warm deep of her breath, the gentle lull into invisible bliss… the tangible connection to eternal calm – Sweet Spirit of God, You are always with me. always real, always pure, always Divine … in the silence […]
Spiritual Journey: When you need to step out on faith
Through prayer, God paves gorgeous paths of graces, just for us – but we still have to say yes to Spirit promptings and follow Angel whispers- all the way into a wilderness we don’t understand … No matter how beautifully He lays the path before us, we’re the ones who need to take it – one […]
Deeper Life: Slowing down to acknowledge God’s presence
Whose voice is that frantically rushing you out the door? Who is pressuring you to abandon your sense of calm? Who is banging that obnoxious drum? YOU. SHOULD. DO. MORE. Is it the Prince of Peace, whose voice is still and small? Is it your Heavenly Father, who abandons fear for love? Beneath the clamor of this […]
Deeper Life: Cultivate a personal relationship with God
When we forget that it’s normal to have conversations with God, we get lost. But thankfully- He never stops looking for us.

The more you pay attention, the more you realize how playful He is. Truly, we’re at the mercy of an unfathomable, […]
If we really have faith, we should expect miracles
Are you as fascinated with the miraculous healing power of God as I am? I can relate to the crowds, who gathered around Jesus when He walked the earth, seeking His healing touch. Years ago, when my infant son was diagnosed with kidney disease – I was drawn to Jesus for healing as well. When […]
Expect great things from the Lord

Peacemaker’s prayer
Into the darkness of a world divided by hatred, give me the courage to carry Your light. Radiate Your truth so brightly through me that I can’t help but cast out lies. Ignite the fire of Your love so boldly in me that I leave trails of freedom, wherever I go. In Jesus name, […]
