Father God, we thank You for the beginning of this new month in this new season. Grace each of us to arise in You. Grace each of us to arise to the fullness of Your calling in our life.
Let us not look to the left or to the right but let our eyes stay ever focused on You and Your direction in our life. Let us throw off the grave clothes of our own unfulfilled hope and step into the light of
“Oh Come Let Us Adore Him, Christ The King!” This final week of Advent is saturated with love. It is the love that Jesus has for you every moment of your life. It is the love that brought Him to this earth in a lowly manger. It is the love that took Him to the cross to die for you. It is the love that will bring Him back to earth again.
It is the love that has prepared many mansions in heaven for those who love Him. This is the love
Father God, we thank You for the gift of your precious Son, Jesus Christ. As we commemorate His birth this week and await His second coming, grant that we will emulate His love, peace and compassion to all those we encounter.
Place His compassionate heart within each and every one of our hearts as we live out each day for Your glory and to bring Your Kingdom to earth as it is in heaven.
When I was a little girl my Mom made us matching candy cane aprons. It was so special wearing my matching apron. Over countless years this apron was worn from Thanksgiving through New Year’s. Many a Christmas cookie was designed and baked wearing this little apron.
As I hung it up this year I remembered all the wonderful holidays with my family. Although they are no longer here they live in my heart.
May you and yours make and cherish Christmas memories.
Merry Christmas to each and every one of you. I wish you the peace and love that this
Shabbat (Sabbath) means to stop work and to be refreshed. Sabbath creates a space to be given new life and energy. Shalom is God’s perfect peace. Shalom is the absence of agitation and discord.
“I go before you always…come follow Me and I will give you rest.”
Live in My Shalom.
Breathe in My Shalom.
Walk it all out in My Shalom.
My Shalom is all encompassing…it is all enveloping.
For those of you who are not on certain Social Media sites, I publish “Short Takes” every day. Below are the takes for last week. I pray they bless you and keep you striving toward a full Kingdom walk ‘for such a time as this!’
God Bless,

In Esther’s Warriors Ministry, we began in 2012 ‘praying the states’ for healing for our Nation. Queen Esther went before the king to intercede for her people. We go before the King to intercede for our Nation ‘for such a time as this’ (Esther 4:14). We pray for each state in the order of admission to the Union and will continue. Our Nation more than ever needs consistent, diligent prayer cover state by state.
Father God, we thank You that you sent Your Son, Jesus Christ, to be the joy of our salvation. May the joy of Lord be shed abroad in our hearts. May we carry His joy to the world.
Grace us to release others to you with love. Help us to avoid judgment of others as that belongs solely to You. Cleanse our hearts of anything that is not of You.
Gift us to boldly carry the joy of Your Kingdom to earth as
We are quickly approaching Christmas as we enter this third week of Advent. For many tension rises and anxiety spikes as you search for the perfect gift for everyone, plan your holiday meals and so much more. It can be exhausting just thinking about all that is yet to be accomplished. In the busyness of this season do not let go of the real reason we are celebrating.
Jesus Christ is God’s most extravagant gift to all who will receive Him. He is ‘the reason for the season.’ Keep that in the
