Michelle’s Journey

As I embark on a new day and settle in to the day’s tasks, I don’t want my mind to get caught up with the responsibilities placed upon me. In the past, there were times when I would go through a number of circumstances trying to handle them in my own strength, not recognizing that [...]

Something happened yesterday, which left a question in spirit and I wonder if there are moments when Jesus looks to see if I’m going to grab a ‘blessing’ or not. This conversation in my spirit all started when I stopped at a gas station that I would often go to and like any other day, [...]

I used to think that may be I would feel complete if I were married but I know that whether I’m married or not, I’m to seek fulfillment in Jesus and not in a man. It’s something that I’ve struggled with for a long time. I would be sad when I thought about being single [...]

“Burdened,” is the word that describes my heart today. As I read Jeremiah and God’s decision to punish His people for turning to wickedness, my bowels immediately move within me when I see the greed and open show of wickedness in our land and the powerlessness of God’s church. What’s reported in the news is just [...]

During one of my quiet moments, my thoughts trailed back to a period in my life when I would question the direction of my life and my achievements based on the investments I made. I remembered when I was preparing to leave high school, even through my first year in college my goal was set [...]

I couldn’t help but reflect on our beloved Pastor Jan Greenley, who we considered to be one of the mothers of Israel. Although, it’s been over two years since her passing, the memories I have of her are still fresh. It’s like I can still hear her laughter, see her wink a smile at me [...]

As I sat listening to the message today on the Sermon on the Mount, which gave an illustration of what happens in the heart of a Christian, I couldn’t help but ask where I am in the process. Have I experienced depravity before Jesus, mourning because of my sin, a humble heart, meekness, a thirst [...]

Several years ago, I heard a preacher, who I thought was a John the Baptist since he called for people to repent of their sins, turn aside from the things of the world and seek Jesus in our very being and in the way we lived. He admitted that Jesus speaks to His people but [...]

A few weeks back I was involved in a minor fender-bender, where a woman suddenly changed lanes and struck my car. After submitting the paperwork to both my insurance company and hers, I was informed that the woman’s insurance company was not going to pay to repair my car. Was the decision acceptable to me? [...]

I’ve walked as a Christian for many years but never fully understood what it really meant to be in Christ in my inner being. Today, I don’t see myself as casually following Jesus but instead following Him in all earnestness and being resolute in my decisions for the Kingdom of God. It’s been a long [...]
