My son needed restoration physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I needed to let go and allow God to work in my son through a program eight hundred miles from home. The Holy Spirit encouraged me to study Hannah. HANNAH’S story can be found in 1 Samuel 1-2. Hannah prayed boldly, in the Spirit, and with all…

 I looked crazy talking to myself.   I drove to Rhode Island from New Hampshire to speak at a ladies’ retreat. I usually practice the teaching while driving.

 You are a slave?  Don’t get mad or feel discriminated against.  Please keep reading.   I sign my correspondence, “Saved to Serve.” It was time for me to research the word servant in the Bible. I desire to be a servant of God so I desired to know exactly what the word means. I carefully read…

Time to Listen

The Spirit whispered to me as I stood in the emergency room. My grandmother fell and hit her head.
