Growing my spiritual life: The urgency of my life

1 Corinthians 9:16

You see, if I preach the good news, it’s nothing to brag about. This urgency, this necessity has been laid on me. In fact, if I were to stop sharing this good news, I’d be in big trouble.

This Scripture had been on my mind because I feel that urgency to share God's word and love.

Not a moment goes by in my day when my thoughts don't turn to The Lord.

I realize the responsibility of my calling.

A calling I never expected...

Social media has increased the reach of my work for God.

I find myself compelled to share Scripture, minister to those who need hope in illness and more than anything: I share how God really does want us to know His heart.

It no longer matters to me that others think of me as that crazy Jesus lover.

But it was uncomfortable becoming the person God made me to be.

I was forced out of my comfort zone.

I no longer fit in any of my circles.

But I am compelled by a Greater Force to never be comfortable again.

That's okay.

Sweet Sixteen

Today is my spiritual birthday – the date that changed my entire life. It’s the before and after life changing date when my eyes were opened to the divineness of God. I’ve been on an exhilarating and sometimes uncomfortable journey full of experiences I never imagined I could or want to handle. But the best part of my journey is how God expanded my closed “religious” mind and views. The knowledge I have is but a drop in the cosmic (heavenly) bucket; and I’ve learned that I’m in no position to impose my views on people of different faiths or no faiths. There’s room at the table for all of us. We are all welcome and loved! There’s always room at the table. My life has been about constantly getting myself out of comfort zones I prefer…always hesitating but drawn to the next adventure. That fateful, ever evolving connection to God has powered everything about my life. It has taken me from the depths of despair to the heights of love; fr...

The best 10 years of my life Acts 20:24 (The Voice) …The only value I place on my life is that I may finish my race, that I may fulfill the ministry that Jesus our King has given me, that I may gladly tell the good news of God’s grace. I’m sure May 2, 2006, the day God’s presence become real for me and my life changed, will be pale in comparison to heaven. Since God awakened me, I’ve lived in constant awareness that life on Earth isn’t “it.” This is not my final destination and the thought excites me. What will happen when I see His face? Meanwhile, my mission gets more urgent. While these have been the best years of my life, it hasn’t been easy. I’ve faced losses and disappointments. But I’m no longer desperate through tough times. I’m also not easily discouraged because my Lifeline is constantly with me. God is powerful. Two things enhance my walk: deep, sold-out love and reading His word. Love The Lord commands us to LOVE HIM WITH ALL OUR HEART...
