I realized that I have a fear of repeating the past. I don't ever want to go back to living with my own hand over my mouth. I never want again to live with the burden of my own silence.  I realized that that is not possible when I now have the knowledge that lead to that burden being formed in the first place. I want you to experience the same level of deep freedom that the Lord is revealing...

Boundaries. Something that I was never taught and when I entered the church they were viewed as walls and if you have walls, you are not loving and if you are not loving you are not being obedient and if your are not obedient you are a sinner "and your *** is on your way to hell." Yes...I said the word in this episode today but I hope you will give me grace and understand the context of the use of...

This was something I never realized before and as God was unearthing this into my life, I realized the amount of shame I had felt because of the way I had conducted myself as a person in relatoinship and realizing how destructive that was. The knowlege of this had left me feeling so much shame that I asked myself, "Can I praise you like the angels do in revelation Lord with the new knowledge I hav...

I was in Revelation chapter 4 this morning and there was a line that stook out to me, "You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being."

Today I share with you guys an experience I had over the weekend that got me really reflecting on how importent it is to have a distance between our circumstances that are currently happening in our life and how God is revealing needs we have, fear, insecurcities and all the other things that suck the life out of us through those experiences that reveal these things in our hearts. What if God used...

Pay attention to these types of people when it comes to setting boundaries! Listen to know what I mean. Boundaries! This is something that I have only began to implement into my life the last 5 years. The environment I was in growing up didn't teach me this foundational concept because they didn't have them either. We cannot teach what we don't have within ourselves first. I had come to a point in...

When we can understand people, we can understand the heart of God and how he wants us to communicate the grace he has given to through the holes his grace found us in. Our shame and his grace collided and as a result we are healed: we are steadfast, strong and secure.

This came from some a scripture I was reading in Isiah 1 this morning. I realized how God had been so honest with them about who he was but they had completely forsaken him and the results of that were devestating. It got me reflecting on how the people I choose to bond with impacted my life and my confidence in my relationship with God. How are the people you are chosing to bond with impacting yo...

This was a thought that crossed my mind when I was debating on starting another social media account.

Boundaries!  What perspective are we looking through them today? They are fences with gates that allow the good and bad to come out. This is something that I have only began to implement into my life the last 5 years. The environment I was in growing up didn't teach me this foundational concept because they didn't have them either. We cannot teach what we don't have within ourselves first. I...

Bonding: An emotional attachment to another person. If we are to bond with someone. that means we have to be vulnerable. We are vulnerable when we are honest with each other about our whole selves and not just the parts of ourselves we feel strong: We gotta be willing to expose our whole self, weaknesses and all, so we can mutually encourage each other. Where you are weak, I am strong and where I...
