Prophetic Burden Bearing: It’s a Gift, Right? In the last post I shared about bearing one another’s burdens, what it is—and what it isn’t. I briefly mentioned a different kind of burden bearing, and today I wanted to take a deeper dive into it. Prophetic burden bearing. This is VERY different from letting Christ bear […]
Bearing Burdens Burden bearing. As someone who operates in the prophetic, this phrase brings a flood of memories of sudden shifts in emotions or thought patterns, ones that definitely weren’t mine—or God’s. As a mother of prophetic kids, it brings up even more recent memories of learning how to walk my daughters through those moments […]
Pause. Breathe Healing Grace “I can’t, Lord. It’s just too painful.” That was an actual prayer. Nope, not joking. Something had happened, well, actually, something was done toward me, that was hurtful. Oh, I had forgiven the person. There was no animosity or anger in my heart.

CAST BURDENS WE DON’T KNOW WE’RE CARRYING God: Remember, I said to cast your burdens upon Me. Me: But God, this isn’t a burden. I’m hurting! God: Remember, I said to cast your burdens upon Me. Me: Ummm…. This is pretty close to a conversation I had had with God. I had been hurt, pretty […]

Peter, Jesus’s disciple. And more than that, His friend. Peter, someone that Jesus poured His life into literally day in and day out for […]
Do We Take Steps or Make Prisons? It happened so many years ago. Honestly, it was one of those memories that was buried and forgotten. It wasn’t a pleasant memory, but I thought I had completely dealt with it, until I realized, there was more. I was in fifth grade and looking forward to leaving […]
MAKING THE INSIDE MATCH THE OUTSIDE Isn’t it fun to be excited? Isn’t it fun to have something to look forward to? But what happens when all that time spent in anticipation and excitement ends up becoming a huge disappointment? What happens when we can do absolutely nothing to change our circumstances or the outcome?This […]
BLOWING WINDS It’s been over a year since I heard the audible sound of wind in an early morning prayer session at my church. At the time, God revealed a tiny portion of what this meant. Since then, He has spoken to me about His winds of change bringing a shift and His breath that […]
