These days, I’ve been spending a lot of time laying on my floor. With worship music on and the glow of the Christmas lights from my tree that’s still up, my dark laminate wooden floor has seen a lot more of my back lately. Yes, my tree is still up, because I love the peace … Continue reading

This post may feel late as Christmas is done and over, but while the holiday has ended the truth of what it represents never will. As I get older, the Christmas story changes for me each year. It’s the same story it’s always been, so I guess it’s me who keeps changing. As a kid, … Continue reading Light of the World

"Not one promise from God is empty of power. Nothing is impossible with God!" (Luke 1:37, TPT) Wow, talk about a good word! Have you ever read something that just sticks with you? I read these words a few weeks back and they have just continued to resonate in my spirit. Their truth is powerful … Continue reading From the Pages of My Journal: Proclaiming Promises

It’s been a while since I’ve done much updating, well, anywhere. I’m not one of those people to post on social media every day. I don’t even write on this blog as often as I originally intended to, but I guess that’s the reality of my life out here. See, there’s always plenty happening, but … Continue reading Things Unseen…

This morning, I found myself revisiting my playlist of songs, "The First Three"—a collection of different songs that really impacted my journey with the Lord during my first 3 years of ministry here in Thailand. When I said "yes" to moving here to Mae Sot, I truly had no idea what I was saying yes … Continue reading From the Pages of My Journal: Life with Papa God

The faint light of the early morning began to peak through my curtains. The birds chattering from the three mango trees by my house grew a bit louder. “Come away with Me,” came the Lord’s gentle whisper. “Come away with Me before you start this day.”It’s a whisper I look forward to hearing, one that … Continue reading You’re Closer than You Know

My journal is my "safe space". It's not a diary where I feel the need to recount everything that's happened throughout each day. For me, my journal is that sacred space where I process, pour out my heart, and pray. It's a combination of all of those things and a place I revisit often, flipping … Continue reading From the Pages of my Journal: Let’s Talk about Favor

Today was one of those days where I questioned more than once if my head was even attached to my body! These days, weeks, months even, have been challenging and my brain has felt the tug and pull of information overload, spinning lots of plates in the air, and unexpected after unexpected. It's all just … Continue reading “I’m not afraid anymore.”

One morning as I was sitting with Jesus, He brought to mind a passage in Joshua 3. I love the book of Joshua and find myself in it often. After Moses died, Joshua found himself taking on an incredible mantle—He was to lead the people of Israel into the land God had promised them. The … Continue reading Follow the Presence of the Lord

On a recent visit to America, I wanted to pick up a small gift for each of our Braverly women. But I'm a person who doesn't like to just give any old gift–I want the gift to carry a meaning, to be unique or special to the person receiving it. So I was racking my … Continue reading Promised Peace
