I am thankful for my faithful blog friends who have visited me even though I haven’t had time to return a visit.   Surely I will find some time soon!  Don’t give up on me.  :o)


The past 5 years have been some of the best years of my life.  Our daughter was born (after being childless through most of our marriage) and God (through a difficult situation) made a way for us to cut some ties that needed to be severed. 


On the flip side, I had no idea that during that time I would be entering into a time of “watching and waiting” in the Spirit.  Sometimes I have felt lost in this new place.  Of course, we know that we can’t trust our feelings — right?  I have wanted to move forward, but God hasn’t given me the “go” — so I have waited.  


Sometimes God calls us to be alone (even though the devil would want us to twist that to believe that we are rejected, etc … the opposite of the truth).  What does God’s Word say about the devil?

John 8:44
When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

I haven’t been in a valley per se — only good things around me, but I have been in this holding pattern that can sometimes seem similar to a valley.  However, I must report that I feel hope and excitement!  God has started revealing some possibilities of His plan for my future.

Shouldn’t this scripture be enough for us?  Isn’t God’s Word true?

Jeremiah 29:11

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

But sometimes we put too much stock on our “feelings” versus the TRUTH that God has given us.  

One thing is certain: My HOPE is in the Lord.  My passion has been for Him most of my adult life.  I am never satisfied with the status quo and I don’t understand those who are.


Are you wondering what happened to the PASSION and FIRE you once felt in  your belly?  Are you in a holding pattern?  Have you felt like you’ve been in a lonely place?  Perhaps — just perhaps God has you in THIS place for His purposes.  When we say, “My life belongs to You Lord” then we must surrender and enter into these seasons without a struggle.   


I am at a place where some transition is taking place.  It is a GOOD thing in the Spirit, but in the natural it can seem foreign and unsure.  

Isaiah 55:8
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD.  

Honestly, the future is wide open!  I believe I will see my dreams with my own eyes!  Do you believe that God has a plan for you? 


Some of you are like me — you have wondered what happened to the ministry you were carrying in your spiritual womb.  It hasn’t been aborted … just growing in the quiet places.  Is it time to push?  

I don’t know about you, but I am feeling a stirring in my heart to dream again, to believe that ALL of those YEARS of prayers were not in vain.

Will you believe with me?  Will you stand and not give up?  Will you trust God to fulfill the desires of your heart that center around Him and His purposes?
