Desire Fulfilled is a Tree of Life

Anyone experienced in “waiting on the Lord” understands all too well how true the first part of Proverbs 13:12 is: “hope deferred makes the heart sick”.  One may receive a promise from the Lord however did not receive His time frame in when that promise would come to pass.  During that waiting period the heart… Continue reading Desire Fulfilled is a Tree of Life

It’s Our Time!: Key Lessons from “The Goonies”

One of the benefits of being an early 80’s baby is that I carry the fond memories of my 5-year-old self playing Nintendo with our next door neighbors, repeatedly watching MJ’s “Thriller” video (I actually used to think it was a movie b/c it was so long) and enjoying movies such as “Adventures in Baby-sitting”,… Continue reading It’s Our Time!: Key Lessons from “The Goonies”

A Slow Fade

I’ve been living this surrendered life for a little over 10 years now and so have many in my community.  One thing about a long lasting covenant relationship of any kind, whether it’s romantic, platonic or a love relationship with Jesus, is that that relationship is susceptible to…hmmm, well, how can I put this?  Let’s just say it.  Boredom. … Continue reading A Slow Fade

I feel God’s Spirit…the Spirit of Elohim and His way with me.  He is only this way with me.  He is unique with all of His children.  He loves them all but they each hold a special place in His heart.  In Him.  Together we come together and display the vastness of who He is…but even that just gives… Continue reading God’s Word to Me 4-24-13

Fighting Temptation

He caught me off guard.  I thought, “he’s not into me…he’s looking at me like a sister…I’m safe”. I was wrong. Suddenly the friendly evening banter turned into sexual suggestions, painting vivid pictures of erotic positions in my mind’s eye.  I fought the urge not to lean into him but gave into the desire to… Continue reading Fighting Temptation

My BFF called me today and made a confession.  “Nicole, my 3 year old wanted to feed herself her hot dog and yet I really didn’t want her to!  I really wanted to hold on to the hot dog and feed it to her myself because I knew she would make a mess!”  On the… Continue reading Letting Go of the Hot Dog
