I wept. It was artistic, salient, and SO needed. May the spirit of the Incarnation and the life Jesus lived be with you all through this season of life.

Thank you that beautifully penned prayer Sarah. The Devine knew what my heart needed today.

You spoke the Holy Spirit’s words into me in Rosemont, IL in late Spring 2016.

I never would’ve imagined how so many aspects of my life have change since 2016. But your blessing today has reminded me of those words,

“The Holy Spirit has plans for you, a ministry that has been years in the making.”

Today I realize that ministry involves:

to love the broken, for you will be broken too; to love those that society and family have shunned, because those close to you will feel that pain too;

to help those who are victims of domestic violence, sexual trauma, sexual trafficking and generational poverty, because they need restoration, and hope;

because the Devine will layout a path of providence for yourself and the least of theses.

What so ever you do, to the least of my brothers (& sisters, & they them’s) that you do unto me. 💟

Believe comes from the German bei (by) and lieben (to love). What we believe is the thinking that enables us to be loving people. And being loving people is necessary for our survival.

In Saxon times god was how your spelt "good" and if you meant it in the abstract "goodness" you gave it a capital. So believing in God may just imply holding goodness dear.

Wow, youngin’! That whole presentation was just what I needed. Loved the music and messages! Your blessing at the end is a clear example as to why women need to be heard both in a small group setting and from the pulpit! You’re a natural! May God bless you and your family in the coming years! Loved the looping tech in the first song. Is this a conglomeration of different folks you know pieced together or a community church either online or in person? My wife and I would love to hear more. I’ve forwarded to my daughters and some of my music buds who are still mired in the evangelical mindset! Peace!
