Every day living for God is a learning experience. People can quote the Bible all they want, but there is nothing like experiencing God and having a complete heart change.
The power of God to change lives is at the heart of my ministry. I use music and the spoken word to tell people what God has done in my life. And when God's anointing is applied, people change. If there has been no change - there has been no ministry.
What an awesome God we serve!
I have experienced Jesus' healing hand personally in my life three times. There is no question: my God still heals. He heals not only physically, but emotionally as well.
Forgiveness is the key to God's power in our lives. If we cannot forgive, it hinders the hand of God. When we forgive, we let go... and let God. This leaves us wide open for God to use our lives to work for him.
We were broken and fragmented - then healed, only to be used to help other broken and fragmented people.
We thank God every day when we see his hand on our lives. Knowing the call God has placed on your life is so very powerful. Then, to wait and see what he'll do next is so exciting! He always shows up. But first, we have to remove ourselves for the glory of God to be seen.
God takes you through different chapters in life. We have turned the pages from wiping the noses and kissing away the tears of our children. Now we enjoy offering a place of quiet comfort for our kids and their children to visit. Now, instead of all the Lord put into our lives lying dormant, we are free to minister to other people whenever the Lord directs us to an open door.
During the first part of my life, God used the hardships and challenges I experienced to prepare me for ministry. I see my work as a holy calling for his purpose and his grace (see II Timothy 1:8 - 9). I've been prepared as a vessel of clay, and endured many firings. Now, in God's time, I'm happy to use this vessel to his service.
