There is a song by Shana Wilson call ‘Press in your Presence’- I love how she says that ‘God calls us his own’.How she begins to tell god since she is his take her heart, soul, and mind. To press in God’s presence is a beautiful thing. The pressing, the worshiping is our surrender. It’s the seeking which allows the pure form to take place to becoming his children. So many times I have questions why God has me where I am. Why he want me? What do I have to offer that will be so great. What is my purpose in life? Am I only to work day in...
Pressing into His Presence
God no StoreFront
Since an overseer is entrusted with God’s work, he must be blameless — not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain. Rather he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined. He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it. Titus 1:7-9 NIV As children of God, there are so many things that we have placed on us that we might not be ready to accept. Big shoes that we must fill that feels like God has a...

I can’t help it that when I watch a good love story in a movie or read...

They need to know how Great my hunny is. “So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” 1 Corinthians 13:13 I want you to forgive me tho. We put a lot of pressure on each other sometimes because we see the potential in each other that others don’t see. We are each other: not only spouse’s and lovers but we we’re made for each others strengths and weaknesses. You have catch my front like no other and I...
Fear is no Friend
“I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears” (Psalm 34:4). When I was younger, fear of the Lord, my parents and heights were my fear. If some asked me to go with them to get a tattoo, I mostly would have walked out with one myself. I didn’t think back then. I was impulsive. So fear didn’t have it kusty palms on me. I just went with the flow. Having caution come at the end of whatever I already had or committed too. Fear of losing Fear didn’t start showing up until I begun to gain things I felt I could or didn’t...
