The Tarrying Mother: Nurturing Persistence in the Heart of the Home

The power of persistence: How tarrying mothers influence generations. #PowerOfPersistence #GenerationalInfluence #HeartOfHome #MothersLove #Motherhood #SpiritualStrength

In the soft glow of the early morning, a tarrying mother stands, a silhouette against the quiet light. Her hands, weathered from years of loving toil, fold in prayer over a kitchen table strewn with the day’s yet untouched burdens. Each whisper that escapes her lips weaves a tapestry of hope and intercession, floating up like incense through the stillness of the dawn. Around her, the house…

Not Every Idol Is A Statue

The concept of idols has shifted and remained the same. Physical as well as psychological representations in our lives. The areas we commit to ourselves though the end goal is well beyond our means. Today, it is not just a statute erected in a room!

God, by way of Moses set the Israelites free from the Egyptians. He parted the Red Sea for them in the wilderness then drowned the Egyptian army that remained in heavy pursuit. Free from bondage. Free from slavery. Surely they would worship God louder and with more heart than anyone. However, the Israelites did not. As you read through the Bible you see time and time again where the Israelites…

Your Sacrifice Becomes Your Reward

If you were given access to everything possible, but that access had conditions. The amount you could access at any given time was dependent upon how much you would release to believe in it. What would do? How much would you give? Could you live with it?

This month I’ve been studying 1 Corinthians. It’s been a rather slow study to say the least. My inability to simply gloss over some the writings has been the reason causing much of the delay. There’s so much speaking to my spirit, my interest and inquisitive nature can’t just keep going without getting an understanding. Or, at the very least, asking why then sitting in the why for a bit. The…

There's Layers To This

Sometimes round, sometimes straight. Compact and intertwined, deepened into the folds and crevices of one another. The layers of our lives that drive us, challenge us, and sadly also at times will keep us bound.

Welcome again to another week here at Faith. Power. Pursuit. Each of you reading this weeks conversation piece was fortunate enough to be given another opportunity. Seize said opportunity and make the most of it! Jumping right into it. In my meditations recently I discovered something about my relationship with God that I never realized, or possibly never paid attention to. In fact, it was so…

Release It

For all things there are a season. A season to live and a season to die. A season to sow and a season to reap. Here today, this is the season to release

Hello, hello, hello family! We come upon that time of year again where we step back to begin thinking about the upcoming year. If you’ve been following along for a while now, you know I run my year from October to September instead of the standard January to December. Initially, there was nothing special about this choice. For me, I was born in the month of October and therefore it made more…

The Enemy Inner Me

Life isn't lifing the way you would like. Opposition is hitting you at every turn. Escape, evade, jump through the hoop of fire. It's character development. What if the response was love and appreciation?

Hello Faith Power and Pursuit family. It is my prayer that everyone has been healthy, fulfilled, and pressing in. I’m sure some have had tribulations or trials. I know I have been tested and stretched since our last post. However, as always we have the strength to overcome whether the outcome is in alignment with what we expected or not. Speaking of tested, for this weeks post I would like to dig…

So, Our Journey Changes

In every season there comes a time of completion, a point when one must shift onto and into the next position. Still, all endings only lead to new beginnings. For Faith. Power. Pursuit. that time is now!

Hello again faith family. We are back again for another discussion as it relates to the faith we use to obtain the power to pursuit all things predestined for us in the Kingdom. I must admit when I started this site it was meant to be a digital documentation of my personal journey. A light into the intricate path that my inquiries with God takes me. To an extent that is still very much the case.…

Stepping Outside Customs

Misjudged and misunderstood. Hannah the absolute depiction of what it means to pray a prayer so fervent even the host of the temple has no understanding of your posture

“Seeing her lips moving but hearing no sound, he thought she had been drinking. Must you come here drunk? He demanded. Throw away your wine!” 1 Samuel 1:13-14 NLT It never ceases to amaze me the number of times you can read a passage of scripture and it hit a little different each time. I’m more of a visual person so when I read different passages I’m captivated by the word choice, the…

Discovering Self: When I Am The Problem

Who you become, who you are, and the way you interact with those around you are all within your control

Last week we talked about the process of what it means to learn oneself. This week I thought we could continue the conversation going even deeper. Learning and discovering the inner workings of self is complicated. Our subconscious desperately wants to hide us from all the things determined to be harmful. However, growth requires the penetration of those deep hidden places to get to the root of…

To Learn Oneself

To grow means to become more than what you currently are. To shed means to get rid of those things which are no longer useful or purposeful to your growth. However, to learn means to discover.

It’s not uncommon to hear the sermons preached on the prodigal son. A boy who demanded all that he had not earned to venture out on his own as a man. In time, all was lost, the realization of one’s decisions and state of being causing a desire for change. This desire led him back to his fathers home as a man indeed. Just as most parents would, the son was welcomed openly and eagerly by the…

Reciprocity in Grace

Authors of our decisions. Narrators of the stories we share. A language of love depicted. Will you walk away or will you stay? The decision was made but now that the truth lay bare was it the same in the end?

It’s another week family. Time to be the iron that sharpens iron. Together we grow in faith that we may receive the power to pursue all that is intended for us. So let’s hop right on in. Ever have those moments or conversations that just stick with you. In the moment you provided your response, yet there was a lingering nag tugging at your garments saying “are you sure because I don’t think that…

Complexity of Faith

Is there a single version of the right path, are there multiple? The road is narrow so what does that mean for each of us individually? All the questions to ponder. Questions remit to the atmosphere for an answer that cannot return void.

By the time you read this it will have been posted late. My sincerest apologies. I’m learning about this here rural life. Come to find out severe thunderstorms means the loss of internet and cell phone connectivity. It did not help that we had a few of them back to back. Imagine my surprise to learn I would be disconnected from everything for a few days. The upside was the amazing cohort from…

For Everything Gained, Something Is Lost

There’s two sides of the tracks. Two sides to every story, two sides of a coin. The side of everything we choose to see is often rooted in our experiences. But, what if for a moment you examined both sides. I posit you might find that for everything gained, something is also lost and for everything lost something is also gained!

Time. All the things gained and all that has been lost. I’ve been away a few months. Time lost amongst the cloud of responsibility and a depressive state of mind. When it’s your season to move you must move. The alternative is being pushed out by force. Delirium, delusions, waking each day on the brink of collapse. That was me in my absence. Time. The healer of all wounds and partner to patience.…

Scheduled All Wrong

Mishaps are bound to happen. Luckily we can scrap the board and rebuild.

Coming up on a month in on my new year and the things I’m hoping for, flaws quickly began to float to the surface making their presence known. Anything requiring building to follow is a thing I have struggled with for a long time. Build a budget, it looks great, I’m motivated and then life or impulses occur. Build a schedule, seems easy enough to follow, everything lines up the way I want and…

Standing In The Gap

The lessons learned for the path to come

In everything there is gap. The space between where you were and where you’re going; the you of your past versus the you of your future. The space between what was done to you and how you survived. The gap, a walk through of your journey; the paved road of what it cost to be the bright and vibrant person that you are. A road that one day may be traveled by your descendants, thanks to you one…
