Only the Father knows the day… Continue reading Come, Yeshua: 21 Days of Intercession for Israel (Day 13 of Isaiah 62 Fast)
Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Messiah.

I will sing for the one I love a song about his vineyard: My loved one had a vineyard on a fertile hillside. He dug it up and cleared it of stones and planted it with the choicest vines. He built a watchtower in it and cut out a winepress as well, then he looked for… Continue reading Flow, New Wine of Mercy: 21 Days of Intercession for Israel (Day 11 of Isaiah 62 Fast)
The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom. Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom; it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy.

In this discussion against abortion, I want… Continue reading Lord, We Pray for the Unborn Children of Israel: 21 Days of Intercession for Israel (Day 8 of Isaiah 62 Fast)
“But Zion said, ‘The LORD has forsaken me, my Lord has forgotten me.’ ‘Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb?

Why can't you let it go, even with the price I have paid for it. See, the thing is, I'm asking you to give it up because I have something better for you. And you cannot hold the two together in one body. They are, in fact, mutually exclusive. What do you have in your… Continue reading What Have I Asked of You? Everything.
I sit watching you again. My strong-willed, smart, curious son. You are deciding whether or not to trust me...again. How many times have we been through this same place? Going around in circles it seems. Back into the wilderness of testing. More natural consequences. More frustration and anger on both our parts. More difficult navigation… Continue reading A Parent’s View of Obedience
She comes close to me, her little six-year old eyes dancing in the delight she finds in mine. Yes. Her delight reflects mine still. She is not listening to others' opinions of her.
