Nearly 5 years ago, during my first year at BSSM in Redding, California, God asked me, “Who will go for My lost sons? Who will go for ISIS? Who will go for the human traffickers?” Without much hesitation I said, “Me”, and then He asked, “What will you do when they put a gun toContinue reading “He Trusts Us”

It’s been a while since I have written regularly, but with all that God is saying and doing in my life, it feels like a great time to pick it up again. I hope you are encouraged by what you read. Over the last couple of years God has been speaking to me about moving.Continue reading “God’s kindness in my transition”
