As much as you want to have things go your way, if your situations and circumstances are not changing, then ask God what it is in you that He is wanting to do. Most times God uses situations and circumstances to draw out the things that need to be worked on in your life. He will use situations, circumstances, and random conversations, sudden changes etc. to draw out the character flaws in you that need to align with His character. Your flesh will always want it’s way BUT in your daily walk with Christ, look for the opportunitys of change, maturity, and growth being presented; perhaps even as an answer…

Embracing God’s Training: Joy in the Process of Preparation
Over the summer, I have been going through what’s felt like a demolition to bring finality to certain things; to bring growth and maturity in certain areas. I know God has been preparing me for a thing. He would never want me, or anyone, to go forth into our purpose/calling without being prepared. If we are not prepared to hold up what He is about to give us, then we will fall under it. Here is a word of encouragement for you: Embrace the process of preparation with joy for the joy set before you. Jesus left you an example of that. He left you an example of the attitude…
Are You Ready?
On the morning of June 3, 2025, I found myself weeping while grabbing my belly. I could feel the spiritual birthing about to happen, globally, from the depths within me through the spirit of God. All I hear for the people is, “Are you ready?” Are you ready? Are you ready? Are you ready? Are you going to be like the 5 wise ones who were prepared? Or are you going to be like the 5 foolish ones who ran off without being prepared? Which one will you be? If you think you have plenty of time to get prepared for His coming, you are wrong. The time to get…

Allow God to teach you through everything going on around you right now. Instead of complaining or getting super frustrated, let God show you a new perspective on all matters.

Rooted in Unity: Strengthening the Body of Christ Through Love and Connection
As I sat with with God this morning, He gave me the following scripture: ”My friends, if someone is caught in any kind of wrongdoing, those of you who are spiritual should set him right; but you must do it in a gentle way. And keep an eye on yourselves, so that you will not be tempted, too.”-Galatians 6:1 After I read the scripture a couple of times, I heard “just like the trees do”. I knew exactly what He was talking about and went to go do some more research on it anyway. You see, if you have a bunch of trees together as in the forest, the part…
