This weekend it is significant that the SpaceX Launch has been rescheduled for Saturday. This launch is groundbreaking for a number of reasons, and a prophetic picture of breaking into new things and new ways of doing things. Watching the preparations and hearing the stories awakens the forerunner, adventurer, pioneer spirit in all of us. Those aboard will be stepping into a new realm and experiencing things they have never seen before. It is a picture of where God is taking us all. There will be a point where all those aboard must "BRACE FOR IMPACT" as they experience the force of the blast into space. Their training and preparedness have prepared them for this moment, but the unknown is st
Just the other day I heard the Lord say the word "bandwagon". When He speaks a word like that to me, I know it is an invitation into more discussion with Him. I had the general idea of the definition but then went to the dictionary to search it out more. Wikipedia describes "bandwagon" as this, "A phenomenon whereby the rate of uptake of beliefs, ideas, fads, and trends increases the more that they have already been adopted by others."

I felt like this was a picture of where we find ourselves right now, not only in our nation, but in many other places around the world. We have been tightly "pulled back" so to speak. Many have felt isolated and afraid, with plans, jobs, and life cancelled or put on
Recently I was spending some time with the Lord and I heard him say, "Build Me an altar." Then He took me on a journey these last several weeks of personal consecration, recommitment and renewing of my covenant with Him. I had been in similar places and moments like this before with Him, but this was different somehow. I, of course, did not build an actual altar, but an altar of the heart. In my times with Him, I have experienced a deep gratefulness for the outpouring of His unconditional love in My life. But, I have also experienced a sense of His plumb line being extended before me as I consecrated myself again to Him. These moments with Him were weighty and I felt the gravity of my deci
