The Fullness within … me
"For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power." Colossians 2:9 and "Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?" 2 Corinthians 13:5** The fullness of the Godhead...
The Love Project
We found each other when life felt carefree, untainted, and we forged a sisterhood over late-night daydreams of changing the world -- and sugar. A decade-plus spanned the distance between those high school nights and when we were later reacquainted. As we caught up...
I Am Because He Is
I need to get over the feeling of “I can’t” [and move to] “I am.” What? I read it again. And again. Her confession cracked open my day. It was His phrase, through her, over what He is doing in my life. I’ve lived a lifetime of “I can’t”, inhaling lies of the enemy...
As the Sound of Many Waters
...and His voice as the sound of many waters. Revelation 1:15** There is a washing that comes with Your Words over me. They cleanse. You cleanse when You speak. Words of life replace words which have tainted, torn and broken. I need words that wash. Your voice, moving...

Her Fireplace
She was widowed young -- a mom with a houseful of little ones and no companion with whom to kiss their ouchies and tie their shoes. Her life was shackled with loss. Back then, when I heard about it, I was in college with no understanding of what all of that meant --...
Separate Unto Someone
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. 1 Corinthians 2:12** I have You so that I know You. I can know You, because I have You. I adore You, oh God from...
Never Too Old for Treasure Hunts
"You just wait." Eventually, we stopped counting the number of times we were forewarned about our lives "coming to an end" once the little ones entered our home. Four children later, though, I now understand a little bit better the pain which might cause (what felt...
The Hope of Glory
There is only one today. And as I stand just inside the foyer of 2012 with my fingers wrapped around His ageless hands, hoping I can somehow scoot near enough to know Him as Counselor, He whispers one phrase. From a group of women gathering to discuss, to my own...
