Peace and Joy are Not Options
Today’s subject on Making Space Mondays is based on the Scripture Romans 14:17: For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. What strikes me in this Scripture is that as believers, a part of God’s kingdom, we cannot opt out of kingdom […]
The Eclipse God Moment
Today marks a historic event– the solar eclipse. For our nation, this will be the first coast to coast total eclipse in 99 years (1918). Additionally, it will be the first total solar eclipse of its kind for the US since 1776 when we became a nation. The path 67 miles wide from Oregon to […]
Ordinary People with Extraordinary Power
Earlier this week I shared a post about A Dose of God Confidence. Did that resonate with you? I sense that so many women see themselves as “ordinary” but what we all need is a dose of “God confidence,” which comes from spending time with Him and in His Word. He equips us and leads […]

The definition of fear is an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain or a threat. Fear is something that we all have in common. It is unpleasant, often […]
Letting Go of the Old
Last week, I wrote about Taking a Risk. When God is leading is us to take a step out in faith, it can be scary. But when we follow God’s leading, we get to join Him in the new thing that He is doing in our lives. Sometimes embracing that new thing can mean letting […]
God’s Leading
In Monday’s Making Space for God blog post, I talked about Taking a Risk and specifically the question, “How do you know when God is asking you to step out in faith and take a risk?” God gives us signposts to help us discern His will. But once we’re ready to take that next step, it […]
Taking a Risk
Good morning, Making Space for God friends! I have been thinking about something for the last few days. What if I choose to take a risk and then I fail miserably? I am embarking on a new season in the life of Drawing Near Ministry and we are in a time of great transition. At […]
Desires of Your Heart
In my Monday “Making Space for God” blog, I talked about Purpose and Direction. So many women share with me that the question they are most often asking is “What is my destiny?” The post below is an entry from my devotional, Sitting at His Feet. As you may know, this devotional is a compilation of […]
