Isaiah 55 - A Promise for My Family

Come -

Out of your barrenness and into full life.
Out of your poverty and into supply.

For the thirsty there is water that never will run dry.
For the poor there is a treasure room without a lock or price.

All your fruitless searches and all your efforts failed
will find full satisfaction when you rest behind the Veil.

Why do you run and fritter on what cannot satisfy?
Listen now and eat what's good - My words will feed your life.

Yes, listen and believe Me. Oh, hear My words and live!
Feast on every promise for abundance they will give!

A season is now coming-a grace upon your ear.
An inclining to My Spirit, a grace for you to hear.

Grace for you to hear Me. Inclining now begins.
My Spirit is now calling and you shall hear, My friend.

A new day is now dawning; there's a'blowing in the wind.
My Spirit breeze will move you to where you've never been.

My promise is unfolding, though now hidden from your eyes.
Trust me and believe that I will make your cause arise.

Every thought I have about you is countless and is sweet.
It is higher than your vision now, but I will make both soon to meet.

I will bring you up to see My view. I will show you what I've planned.
From the moment you were born, My child, your life was in My hands.

As rain comes down from heaven and waters every seed,
so shall My Spirit cause My word inside you to succeed.

My promise is eternal. It will not fade away.
You'll be led in peace and My joy will be your strength from day to day.

Yes, my promise it will prosper in the rich soil of your heart.
It will not fail but will raise you up with a wealthy, sure, fresh start.

So lean in a little closer. I am speaking in the wind,
"Grace, Grace to hear me! The promise now begins!"

Christmas Keys

My hands delicately touched the ivory keys. In reverent solace, I took a deep breath as I sat in the darkness of this unfamiliar house. Slowly, I began to let my fingers flow with the emotions I was feeling. It had been months since I had sat at a piano. But this piano was nothing like the one I had known before: this piano was a perfectly tuned Baby Grand, worth thousands of dollars. The piano I had know - my piano - was an old out of tune spinet that I had purchased at a yard sale for $50. And in that moment, as my fingers danced across the meticulously cared for ivory, I realized how deeply I missed my old out-of-tune friend. It was a feeling that came unexpectedly, this grief. It startled me. So, I quickly stuffed it down inside of myself and shook it off as nonsensical. But as warm tears began streaming down my cheeks while I played this Grand, I soon realized that this was an emotion I could no longer deny: I was grieving the loss of my piano. The loss of my piano had come a...

Closing Words: A Letter to All My Students

In case you have not heard the news, Geoff and I will be moving soon. We are starting a new chapter of our life…in Illinois, of all places!!! J A new chapter is always exciting. However, please know - We have no intention of ever closing the chapter of knowing and loving each one of you. We will always, ALWAYS be there for you. With Facebook and Skype we can always stay in touch, but even beyond that, we pray we stay personally connected to each of you. Knowing that we’ll soon be packing up and moving on, I’ve had a deep longing to give each of you a glimpse into my heart concerning you. So, what words can I leave you with? First off – know that my prayers will not stop for you. I never felt very good at connecting with you guys on a ‘buddy’ level like Geoff could. I was always envious of Geoff’s ability to be fun loving and down to earth with you all. But know that no one ever loved you more than me. My affection for you, although different from Geoff’s, has always been poured...

Destiny & the American Church

Buzz Words. They are everywhere. You cannot escape them. And they are always changing. In today's world of social media, we see buzz words come and go so quickly, that many of us don't even know what the latest cool catch phrase is (For those of you who are still using words like, 'groovy, ' 'daddy-o,' or 'swell,' ya' might as well skip to the end of this post, because you'll REALLY be lost for a while.). Remember when phrases like OMG, LOL, and ROTFL were simply used for texting and not for everyday vernacular?  Remember when the word "Extreme" was posted on everything from sports activities to bible devotionals? And who could forget a number of years ago, when the buzz word that saturated the landscape like oil in a soggy tater tot was, "Synergy"? Commercials, politicians, pastors, CEO's - everyone who was someone - was using this word to explain business, life, or whatever endeavor in which they were apart.Yes...
