Jesus Time!

Growing up with an absent father, I had a lot of heart issues that were difficult and even a little damaging. When I met Jesus, He was so kind to re-father me. Just when I thought His redemption was complete, He shows me still more. I got to meet a brother I never knew existed, and God use that powerfully to heal parts of my heart I didn’t even know needed healing.

On our vacation, Frank and I ran into a HUGE protest. Hundreds of angry people (mostly women) holding pro-abortion signs and some anti- men signs broke my heart… until God showed me His presence and plan the following morning. If you are overwhelmed or discouraged by what our world or media promotes, listen in to hear God’s response.

Have you ever felt disconnected from God even though you were still faithfully engaged in the spiritual disciplines? Please listen in to hear how our sweet Savior connected with me after a season of blah. His presence blows my mind!

Jesus time with Isabel! You guys! My daughter asked me on a date and we are enjoying some treats at Amaretti‘s Bakery! Please listen to how God brought her through a very stormy season in her life and the lessons she learned from it.

So much of a Christian life is spent striving to be godly. But today we’re going to focus on enjoying God! You guys, I’m reading Psalm 98 and can’t stop smiling!!! Join me in enjoying the best Being in the universe!!!!

Jesus Time with Emma!!! You guys, I’m so excited that we get to hear from this incredible woman of God! She’s not only shares what Jesus has told her in her time with Him recently, but how He has ministered to her through a very personal sexual struggle. Her courage and vulnerability have already helped so many people and I hope you listen in to learn how to pop that shame bubble and how to respond to those struggling. “Joyful are people of integrity, who follow the instructions of the Lord. Joyful are those who obey his laws and search for him with all their hearts. Then I will not be ashamed when I compare my life with your commands. How can a young person stay pure? By obeying your word.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭119:1-2, 6, 9‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Praying for kids when they are grown up is such a lesson in faith for me. Join me in praying through parts of Psalm 18. UPDATE: She PASSED!!!! “You have given me your shield of victory. Your right hand supports me; your help has made me great.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭18:35‬ ‭NLT‬‬

First John five talks about obedience to God not being a burden. But what if it is? My incomplete understanding of obedience and God‘s love made me struggle! Through His word and a friend’s teaching, I think I get it now. At least I get it just a little bit more.

“What man among you, who has 100 sheep and loses one of them, does not leave the 99 in the open field and go after the lost one until he finds it? When he has found it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders, and coming home, he calls his friends and neighbors together, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, because I have found my lost sheep! ’ I tell you, in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over 99 righteous people who don’t need repentance.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭15:4-7‬ ‭HCSB‬‬ Listen in to hear how God made this passage come alive to me and now He revealed part of his overwhelmingly merciful heart to me.

We will never fully grasp who God is, but we will often misunderstand who He is. Listen in to hear the three different Jesus times God used to reveal part of Himself (Yahweh) to me, plus a scheme of the enemy that tries to lessen who God is in our eyes.
