Every Notion of Your Heart



You can’t let love fly by but neither can you catch it in your hand. 

It’s not a song you can sing or a melody to hum. 

It’s not a chick flick on the screen or a favorite “thing” you love.

It’s deeper, more tender, more furious this love.

It’s jealous, more safe, more dangerous this love.

This love is embraced. 

Felt at every angle.

Experienced at every inch. 

Highly intoxicating from the fumes in which it gives.

A love always piercing, every area in which you live. 

We’re surrendered to the thought, to this underlying emotion,

That there’s more to give, at the breath of every notion.

How wild the thought.  How crazy this love.  

A deep satisfying emotion which conquers your devotion.

A love far greater than a mood, found only in a person.

A love with no framework, and no reference of its borders.

The perfect peg of our heart, an exact to fit to our form.

With no system, no program, or rules to follow,

Only a man named Love in whom we call Father.

We wait, we invite, we open our eyes.

To see His love which He reveals inside.

August of NEW Beginnings




There are new beginnings happening all around us.  God is bringing new opportunities into our path and giving us surprises into the NEW thing is He about to do!


Get ready!  Here's a short poem – declaring the new season!


It’s a time of new beginnings, of choices and of chance. 
A time for love to blossom, for hope to rise and dance.

For the song in your heart, to finally find its voice.
No longer being plagued by the always-nagging choice. 

Where the bitter patter rain won’t silence your sound. 
And the rumble of thunder won’t keep you confound. 

A time of fresh anointing awaits at your door. 
A time of new beginnings is all that’s in store. 

So grab it and hold it and embrace all of it. 
Because you’re about to find the perfect, perfect fit!

The Mastery of Being Content





It's a skill, an art, a talent for sure. 

To be content completely, without a care in the world. 

I haven't mastered this art (yet) but as the days go by and I get closer to another birthday, I realize it's a place I long to live from each and every day.


God popped this poem into my head as I was driving home one night, contemplating the mystery of God and the heart He's given us.  



Content with no worries, content without plans.
Content always knowing, you’re holding my hand.

Content, oh so happy, content, oh so free.
Content always knowing, all I need to be is me.

Content, oh so steady, content, oh so smooth.
Content always knowing, Holy Spirit’s groove.

Content with my Dad, content with His Son.
Content always knowing, we are all together one.

Content now and always, content help me be.
Content is the place in which I hold the key.   

Content is how I want to live, content is how I want to be.
Content is the place that this world longs to see.

What would you do if you had no limits?




What would you do if you had no limits?

Would you write a book?  Would you start a business?  Would you travel overseas?  Would you become a rockette?  Would you work at a zoo?  Would you adopt?

It’s interesting, as I asked this question to a few different people over the past few weeks, I have been met with more questions than answers.  Less people seem to stop and dream and more people seem to question, doubt, and worry. 

A few months ago, I heard God ask me this very question, “What would I do if I had no limits?”

I must confess, I too didn’t quickly spat off loads of answers, but the more I started to dream, the more I couldn’t stop!  In doing so, my faith has increased and at the same time I have had to stand fear in the face and say, “You have NO place here.”  I am so tired of fear and letting a false nothing hold me back from what God has for me, but I digress that’s for another post!

Recently I read this prophetic word from Tim Sheets which said:

Right now God is opening doors for us to leap forward.  He is opening doors for us to surge ahead, and we are now going to run through open doors and spring into the future. 

Amen, Tim Sheets! I am ready to start running through open doors and leaping over what the enemy wants to put in my way.  I am tempted to start leaping places.  Seriously I am.  The Holy Spirit keeps whispering the word “activate” to me so I am doing my best to “activate” or set into motion His words.    

It’s a time for dreaming, it’s time for the dreamers to arise, and as we do we must get ready to LEAP, to BOUND, to FLY, into the calling God has for us.  

So today, as I got out of bed, I leaped to the bathroom.  I think I might make it part of my morning routine.  That may seem a little extreme and weird to you, BUT did you know the word weird actually means to pertain to destiny and suggesting the supernatural?

Count me in for more weird!

Lastly, I will leave you with a poem of Limitless Leaping!


Limitless leaping that’s what I do! 

I leap, I bound.
I transcend sound.

I leap to my destiny, I leap so high.
I leap out further, I touch the sky!

Leaping is my middle name.
Leaping never brings me shame.

Leaping is my very inner core.
Which means my life never is a bore.

Leaping is worth every cost.
Only then are limits lost.

I jump, I prance, I dance today. 
This freedom in me paves the way.

Limitless leaping is all I know.
As He forever runs the show.

Not a ceiling above or a box around.
But discovering what seemed lost has now been found.

Leap higher and wider and push the door.
Leap into your destiny, and you’ll discover so much more.
