MY THOUGHTS as a Pastor's wife:
I love to see you come through the door on Sunday mornings! My heart smiles when I see your face. If you think I don't notice you, you are wrong, for your presence is important. I invest my time in our relationship, the best I can. I fall short on this at times but I still consider you to be a valuable part of my church family. When you are absent, I wonder about you. When you hurt, I will pray for you. And I can't thank you enough when you reach out to me too. I pray my husband's message and the work of the Holy Spirit will touch you. I secretly hope you feel deeply engaged in your relationship with Jesus. I always wonder if that one Bible question you have, you are afraid to ask, when you should feel free to chat about it. I love to hear how you had prayers answered! If you need to shed a few tears, that's okay too! When you bring kids and grandkids with you, wow, that's really special! Once in awhile I want to say a loud AMEN! (You may not know that!) For reasons we don't always know, God brought us together for a certain amount of time, to fulfill His purposes. May we do that, without being hesitant. May we use our time wisely. And lastly, may we find that complete joy in Jesus together!

DIVINE:
Jesus died at 33. The human spine has 33 vertebrae. The same structure that holds us up is the same number of years He held this Earth.

We have 12 ribs on each side. 12 disciples. 12 tribes of Israel. God built His design into our bones. He wrote Heaven into our anatomy.

The vagus nerve runs from your brain to your heart and gut. It calms storms inside the body. It looks just like a cross. That’s the power source running through us. Every time your body heals, every time your heart slows in prayer, every time peace shows up when it shouldn’t…that’s Him.

Jesus rose on the third day. Science tells us that when you fast for 3 days, your body starts regenerating. Old cells die. New ones are born. Healing begins. Your body literally resurrects itself. That’s not coincidence. That’s design.

And it keeps going.

Your heart has an electrical rhythm. Your brain lights up when you pray in tongues. Tears contain different chemicals depending on if you're crying from joy or grief. The blood speaks. The bones store memory. The body worships whether you realize it or not.

We are fearfully and wonderfully made. We are walking prophecy. Walking tabernacles. Dust and divinity in one.

God didn’t just create you. He carved Himself into you.

You don’t need to look far to find Him. You just need to look inward. He’s been in the design since the beginning.”

The other day I was hanging out with a friend. This friend is a Christian, but he doesn’t always act, speak or think like one. Some days, he is completely in-line with God’s Word, and some days, his life is a struggle that gets the best of him.
As our eyes met, I really wanted to say something about it, but, I decided to let the Lord speak to his heart, knowing nothing that I say will have the same impact as the Father’s words.
So… I prayed with him and after some time had passed, I winked at him and walked away from the mirror.
I try everyday, and I fail everyday. I am so not perfect, I am a work in progress, and I'm thankful for God’s grace, mercy, faithfulness and His promises to His believers.
