Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: But I…
We went on vacation to the beach last year almost a month after we had gotten “sick”. I still wasn’t myself. Anxiety, panic attacks, exhaustion, and a flare up of dizziness. We needed to get away, but there was just a heaviness over me. And I can remember one evening after we’d been at the beach, we came back to swim in the pool. No one was there;…
One year into my dizziness, a preacher/missionary with Rock of Ages came to our church to present his ministry. I was struggling to sit through services, so I had put a chair in the back of the auditorium so I could lean up against the wall. Bro. Jeff Bellamy shared how that while his wife dealt with cancer and other health issues, he had been discouraged about what…
I’ve written the backstory here but I want to add to it. 2 Kings 4:8-37; 2 Kings 8:1-6 We all know the story about Elisha and the great woman of Shunem. How she showed kindness to Elisha and in return the Lord gave her a child. How that child came in from the field and died on his mother’s knees. The peace this woman showed in telling everyone,…
If I’m being honest, I haven’t been honest in a long time. I’ve just been going through the motions. Faithful because I know I should be. Cold. Distant. Not wanting to be, but finding myself there anyway. All with a smile plastered across my face trying to be strong for everyone else. Running in circles, trying to do all the “spiritual things” and yet not really accomplishing anything…
I have written about the Scent of Healing here and I really thought about writing it in this post again. I’m afraid you won’t really go back and read it first, but I want to focus on what the Lord has been teaching me recently from something He showed me several years ago. So please promise you’ll go read it. Here it is again. So now that you’ve…
In Mark 6:48, there is a small little phrase, “and would have passed by them”. The disciples are in a storm that Jesus sent them into, they are in trouble, alone, tossed by the wind. The disciples see Him walking on the water, yet they don’t know it’s Him. And He would have passed by them. Why would He do that? I started studying this out and I…
It’s amazing how God places people in your life. I’ve never met Mrs. Jasmine Huling, and I don’t know her family, but her husband contacted us last year about singing at their church. We follow each other on Instagram and have talked back and forth several times. Tonight was such a time, and she said something to me that I immediately had to go look up. And wow,…
For six years, I’ve been writing about my dizziness. Writing about the songs the Lord has given me. Writing about praising Him through it all. I’ve recently discovered what I think is a diagnosis for my dizziness/off balance feeling. It describes my symptoms precisely and accurately. I have not been officially diagnosed by a doctor, but I don’t think I will try to be. For the simple fact…
“Gas pumps have 3 grades of fuel available. The higher the grade, the more power can be experienced. Yet people go with the low grade, not willing to pay the price for the higher fuel. The power is available if you’re willing to pay the price.” (-An illustration used by J. Harold Smith) I despise filling my car up with gas. Anyone that knows me, can testify of…
