Did you know that the deepest soul wound a human can experience is preverbal? It occurs during the time and season before you, me, and all of humanity had the capacity to process or understand what was happening to us. Whether through birth trauma, physical trauma, or emotional trauma, these wounds are often the hardestContinue reading “The deepest wound”

Don’t Look Back
I said yes. I’m ready to go to the West Side. I don’t want anything holding me back. I don’t want anything stopping me. I fully surrender protection, consistency, predictability, and stability to You, Holy Spirit. I’m ready for the West Side to cross the river to Your promises for me. I’m ready to sayContinue reading “Don’t Look Back”
My Yellow Chair
For almost five years, my yellow chair and I have been to many places. It’s been quite the adventure.The yellow chair was given to me by the Holy Spirit. It was something I wanted, not necessarily something I needed, but I knew it was for me. It became a place He gave me to restContinue reading “My Yellow Chair”
Holy Spirit Rain
There is a song by Passion that has a chorus that simply says:”Fall like rain, Holy Spirit, fall like rain. Have Your way. Let Your glory fall down. Let Your glory fall down.”I recently started a deep dive into Leviticus 26:1–14. In verse 4, it says:”I will give you rain at the right time, andContinue reading “Holy Spirit Rain”
Abide
This tree is the result of a seed planted in 2022. I’ve tenderly nurtured and cared for this tree you see. The tree has a special meaning to me.

It’s me in the fire
When I asked the Holy Spirit to show me who I am, this is what I saw. That’s me in the fire, doing what I love most. This is a different kind of fire—not one that devours, but one that consumes and refines.” This is something that I’ve learned on a deep intense way throughContinue reading “It’s me in the fire”
Dreams and Visions
I attended the Return Conference in Texas the first weekend of May, and to say it was life-changing would be an understatement. I have more posts coming from it, but I just want to share this one. There were two separate times when I was in the Spirit. The whole conference was going on aroundContinue reading “Dreams and Visions”
“Meet Me at the River”
It was in the whisper that I heard Him speak: “Meet Me at the river for your healing.”Then came the image—so real, so beautiful, so serene and calming—the water running around the bend. I am so honored that He uses me, that He speaks to me this way. I just love Him. Today, if youContinue reading ““Meet Me at the River””
The Wall
For many years, I have been wrestling with the Holy Spirit about the belief that the church is not significant. Throughout those years, I walked outside the confines of the church building, working with His people. I came to understand that the Acts Church is who my community is meant to be. I struggled inContinue reading “The Wall”
