IT IS JUST A SEASON...IT YOUR TIME...



Seasons are divine opportunities that God has placed in your life. He can hear your crying...Yelling! What is going on? You want answers! This is just a season! You have not heard wrong. Yes, this is just a season! The enemy has tried to delay you, but you have to push through and not let him stop you! Protect your mind! You must renew it! "Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen!? Believe in what God has told you! You will see it come to pass! You will see the promise coming to fruition! Fight do not give up! Signs and wonders will follow those who believe! Where are you? Have you lost your faith? Have you lost your sight? Are you so plagued that you can no longer hear him? You have lost your trust in him? I know what he is saying! Rise up and do not give up, for what is about to occur..He is stepping in! He is rising up! He is placing you in this time...In this season...Disciples are arising...change has come upon you! Fulfillment and favor is coming in...Rise up for God is and will make himself known. You have felt that you were in the dessert and you felt that God had forgotten you...He says NO...I have not forgotten you, my love...my beloved...I have come to pour new wine in your new wine skin...the old wine skin could not be filled...I have come to refresh you....You were right it is time of refreshing... You must move forward...I will work now...You have nothing left...Now I can work...You will rejoice in what I am about to do...Cry no longer...I have heard you!

Are you Listening- Decisions




I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you. Psalms 32:8

Have you ever made decisions that you have regretted or regretted decisions that you wish you had made? Did you ever considered bringing them before the Lord?

Every single day we are plagued with making decisions that will affect us individually but far worse it can also affect the people you love and the people that surround you!

I have heard many Christians say “God instructed me and told me not to take this step... but, I could not help it! I felt that I could help, so I did it!" Just in a quick second and in a move of disobedience, we can literally throw the Lord's purpose and timing off for our individual life!


Sometimes we do not understand that God promised that the Holy Spirit would be there to instruct us and teach us which way we should go, he would counsel us and watch over us. (Psalms 32:8)

So why is it that we take matters into our own hands and begin to work against God! We need to understand that he is trying to restore us, while the enemy is trying to destroy or disrupt us.

Is it not funny that thing seem to begin to manifest in the time that you are trying to surrender all. Think about it? One question you might ask yourself, “What is God’s instructions and/or answers for this or these situations?” Lay it before the Lord!

Remember that one decision out of God’s timing can affect you and your loved ones.

Just Stand By Me

Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalms 37:4

As a young child, I always seemed to have more courage if my father was standing next to me. There was no way that my father would let me fail!

Once I got married, it was hard to let go of my father! I felt that I had to confer with him about every situation.

Then, I had an encounter with my heavenly Father and little by little I had to let go of my natural father.


I was recently asked to speak at a conference in a city near my father's hometown. Instead of staying at a hotel, I asked the church to book my flight to the airport close to my father's house and from their I would drive to the conference. They were more than happy to grant my request.


When I finally arrived, nothing seemed to be going as I had planned. I made arrangements with my father to allow me the use of his car while in town. Unfortunately circumstances out of his control did not allow him to make it in time to loan me his vehicle, so my sister had to take me on the first night! My father felt extremely bad about everything that I had to endure, so he decided to take me himself on Sunday morning.

I was shocked! You see, my father has never heard me speak. For the past decade my husband and I have done conference throughout the U.S. and abroad and my father had never taken and interest. He just knew I spoke of something.

When he arrived at the church he saw an old acquaintance, who asked him "Are you visiting?" He said "Yes! Just visiting!" He never mentioned to this old acquaintance that I was his daughter! When I finally took the pulpit, I began to share with the audience, that today was no ordinary day! My father was in the crowd and he had never heard me speak! I asked him to raise up his hand and wave! He did! His friend was shocked and told Him "you are her father?" He said "Yes!" and said nothing more.

When you submit to God your desires, you can trust that he will bring them to fruition. Your plans are found only when you intersect the road of His plans.

You see a long time ago, I had a desire that my father would hear me speak to multitudes, but my true desire was that he would just "STAND BY ME" and be filled with honor.

"She walked out!"


Our phone rang in the middle of the night. A woman in distress had just had a major fight with her spouse of less than a year. Nothing could console her! She did the dreaded thing "She walked out!" As she was speaking, I could literaly feel the knot in her throat and the enemy crouching at the door of their house laughing! I could sense that many were the darts that were thrown to one another. How was this possible!
I began to calm her down and began to whisper words of comfort and love. When we are angry we tend to say things we really do not mean. The word of God says "In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives, as they observe your chaste and respectful behavior. Your adornment must not be merely external -- braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses; but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.
For in this way in former times the holy women also, who hoped in God, used to adorn themselves, being submissive to their own husbands; just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, and you have become her children if you do what is right without being frightened by any fear.
You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered." 1 Peter 3:1-7

Letting Go is part of the Journey!


Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. (Romans 5:1-5)



I have learned so much throught the studying of God's word. I have also understood that God works through the experiences of my life. Every circumstance and situation is to line us up in the path that God has set before us. I have learned that through every valley and mountain top experience God seems to show his light that will always will lead me to him.

When I feel that alone or can't seem to make a decision I know that I can lean on him. He states "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness" (2 Cor. 12:9). By trusting God I have learned to be patient because I know that Christ will always lead me directly to him. I must let Him go before me in my journey. He will make all crooked path straight. He will lead beside those still waters and will bring peace to my soul. He is only building my character.

Pondering and Wondering

I feel like this picture! Pondering and wondering! Where am I! Looking at a distance of things yet untold of plans not yet fulfilled. Feeling at times as a failure yet old triumphs keep me from fading away. I am still here surrounded by Love; by family; by friends who test and try us at times. Yet I am a woman who some where in her depths needs the loving arms of her father to hold her and tell her that this is all part of His ultimate plan.
At times when he paints his visions in front of me, I can literally see the paintbrush moving and action taking place and sometimes when I see the outcome to come I want to jump in to the picture and skip everything and get ahead of my self. Yet, His loving arms hold me back and place me in front of the vision and begins to utter words that make me realize I must take one step at a time.
