I wanted to share something I believe the Lord has shown me for 2020. I woke up super early on the morning of December 19th, picked up a pen, and these words just began to flow. Since then, this theme of reconciliation has not left me. This morning, I felt it was time to release it. I believe 2020 will be a year where we experience an unexpected level of grace for reconciliation. There’s another word I keep hearing that in a way, is tied to this same concept, and that word is “wonder”. Connect the two, and we have a picture of acts of reconciliation that are literally going to fill us with and cause us to wonder. Here’s what else I wrote that morning: Continue reading →

When my family and I first moved to the Raleigh, NC area, (three years ago this July) I began asking God to give me prophetic insight as to what He originally had in mind for this area, and what, prophetically, He wanted to do now. I researched the history of the city, pulled out maps, making note of boundary lines, studied the topography, etc. and began looking for anything I could get my hands on that had been spoken prophetically over both Raleigh and over North Carolina. Seeing as it’s the capital, this is the gateway to the state. What happens here permeates.

There are a few words I’ve gotten clarity on and that I have held to and been personally praying and interceding over. This year, however, I finally feel led to release them. I know this series of blog posts will speak specifically to those in my beautiful state, but my hope is that through reading these posts, and how they came about, that God will also give you insight as to how to seek Him prophetically for wherever He has positioned you.   Continue reading →

I felt this word drop so strongly into my heart tonight. I shared it first on my FB Page, but then felt like I should post it here too… Continue reading →

Part Four: Getting a “word” from the Lord for your year

Many of you have, for some time, gotten a word that tends to frame out the upcoming year for you. It could be something that captures in one word (or phrase) the focus or desire of what you sense the year will bring about, or what direction you feel you are being pulled towards or even what you hope and pray to experience. Words like: Joy. Courage. Rest. Belief. Intentional. Obedience. Hope. Build. Release. Balance. Restoration. These are just some of the words I’ve already seen popping up in friend’s posts for this coming year. But where do these words come from? Does everybody get a word? And if we’d like to have a word, how can we know what our “word” is? Continue reading →

Part 3: Knowing What Season You’re In

“To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.” Ecclesiastes 3:1 NKJV

Seasons are cyclical, and just like we experience seasons in the natural, so we experience natural rotations through spiritual seasons. Each one has a unique purpose in our lives and knowing what season we are in now can help us navigate more clearly what we are experiencing spiritually. We can also start to anticipate and prepare for what season we will most likely step into next. Continue reading →

I hope you’ve had a chance to read my first post in this series. If not, I encourage you to do so. Before moving on to the next step in this process, I wanted to give you an update on my “reflection” step. I did say I’d open up my journey to you, so, here you go. Continue reading →

I’ve just hung a new calendar on the wall and cracked open my new day-planner so I can start penciling in some key dates for the new year. I love the holidays. But there’s a unique, unmatched energy that comes with flipping over to a new calendar and starting a brand new year. Continue reading →
