God is always speaking, I am listening, and singing it back to Him.

WHATS NEW?

YOUTUBE CHANNEL UPDATE - 1 JAN 2026

Recently I added several Jon Thurlow worship set archives from the International House of Prayer. When they were being removed from the IHOPKC streaming servers I captured some to continue playing for my own personal use and have made them available on a playlist on my youtube channel incase that is a resource that others would like to access as well. Hope they bless you as much as they have blessed me.

Have you ever thought of “loss” as “disappointment”? I never had connected those two words, but here it began—a great unraveling for me.

Have you ever thought about how Jesus prayed alone? Why was Jesus looking for solitude? I mean, obviously He was a people person right? I’ve been teaching on prayer for many years, and one thing I was known for was always giving people ‘tools’ or ‘resources’ with my teaching. I used to think the reason for that was I was a hands-on children’s-youth-type teacher, but now I believe it’s a different reason than that.

No Fear In Love

Fear, Perfect Love, Love your neighbor, Love More

There was a time when I had no fear of people or the church, because in my own mind, I was living righteously, so righteously in fact that no one could judge me. Of course, they could judge me, but in my mind, I was righteous enough to have a defense against any judgment. I don’t feel that way anymore. I feel very guilty, full of shame, and constantly aware of all my sin and failure. My thoughts are filled with things like people are just waiting to expose me at every turn. That’s an awful way to think about people. In fact, that makes it quite difficult to love them and interact with them if you’re just afraid of them.

I Have Nothing Bad to Say!

Hope, Encouragement, Knowing God, Power of a Sound Mind

Whenever my mind wanders to places of sadness in my circumstances or fears of the unknown, this hope and promise in His Word overrides my carnality. In light of all He has done for me, how could I complain? You know that death and life are in the power of the tongue, but in your mind- your every thought- is an even greater power.

Love for Love

Pruning, Necessary Endings, Transactional Love, Loving God, The Presence of God, Growing in Prayer, Biblical Love

Can you sit in a room with someone, say no words, give no actions, and feel loved? This is what we run to and run away from with God. There is no greater love felt than simply being in God’s presence, could you agree? To be in the presence of another and feel love, is truly love. When there is nothing to gain from it, nothing to stoke it to keep it going, it simply is.

THE WILD EDGE OF SORROW

Rituals of Renewal and the Sacred Work of Grief. (Kindle version here) I started this book 2 years ago, listening on audible. Then I paused the deep dive for a season. Now I am picking it back up. Listing to the audible, reading the paperback, journaling, and formulating blogs to touch on the points of grief and sorrow hoping to have a conversation and connect with others processing their sorrow and grief.

I’ve been going through this book on audible & paperback over and over and will be making a lot of references to it in the next blog series.

The Body Keeps the Score

Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma, Paperback; I’ve been working through this book over a year and I am still processing it. I have the paperback, but lately I have been playing through the chapters on audible as I work on my healing art pieces in my art studio.
