Jesus, in Luke 22:17–18, shares with His disciples that His time with them is drawing to a close, saying He will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes. This statement points to a future fulfillment and underscores the significance of the moment. The “fruit of the vine” symbolizesContinue reading “The Fruit”

The Longing
There is a place of learning, a quiet walk in the Spirit, where unconditional love—love only He can give—becomes the air you breathe. In that sacred stillness, questions rise: What does it mean to be truly known? What does intimacy with Him, my creator, look like? It is more than words, more than ritual. ItContinue reading “The Longing”
Healing Families
To some, this may seem insignificant, but for this mama, it was deeply meaningful. She wondered why her nonverbal autistic son would get out of the bathtub just to check where she was, then return to the water. Up until this point, she had never left him alone—she always stayed with him while he bathed.Continue reading “Healing Families”
Running the Race
My longtime mentor and teacher, Sandy with Sight Ministries at the Vineyard in Grafton, explained to me that the human experience is an event with spectators, where you are the only person on the field. There is nobody with you and nobody against you—it’s just you. Every person you cross paths with in your lifeContinue reading “Running the Race”

Living Water
It was midday, the sun blazing overhead, when Jesus, weary from His journey, sat down beside a well in Samaria. The disciples had gone into town to buy food, leaving Him alone. As He rested, a woman approached, carrying her jar to draw water. She was a Samaritan—someone Jews typically avoided—but Jesus spoke first: “WouldContinue reading “Living Water”

The space where you see and experience what cannot be explained.A new season is here, and in this season, I know He is near.

Everyone has a story
I don’t know where you’re from and you don’t know where I’m from. I don’t know where you’ve been and you don’t know where I’m going. You see what you see based on where you’re from. The hidden things define what is ahead. I don’t decide for you when it’s time like you don’t decideContinue reading “Everyone has a story”
