Spiritual Freefall


I've always been intrigued with watching people jump from planes, cliffs and building. What are they thinking? Are they afraid? Is it exciting?

I've come to find out that the first part of the jump is called freefalling. Freefalling is the part of a skydive where you're not using your parachute, you're just  falling through the sky, with nothing to hold you back, no constraints, no cords, nothing but the open air and the wind in your face.

When people learn to skydive they are often accompanied by an instructor who is strapped to them and is ultimately responsible for releasing the parachute at just the right time.

As we seek a closer and more intimate relationship with God  it's just like experiencing  a Spiritual Free fall. Moving through life without any constraints or fear, enjoying the view that God has set before you. Allowing Gods Holy Spirit to engulf you and His fresh wind to just flow all around you.

What's so incredible is knowing that God has strapped himself to your life and knows just when to pull the parachute cord and land you safely in every situation.

Do you trust God? Do you trust Him even when you are experiencing what feels like a freefall?

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9

Unapologetically, G

Your Purpose is a Blessing

"...Great are your purposes and mighty are your deeds. Your eyes are open to the ways of all mankind; you reward each person according to their conduct and as their deeds deserve." Jeremiah 32:19 Have you ever considered what would happen if someone who is called to be a dentist one day decides that he wants to become a cardiologist? If you were a heart patient, how confident would you be in his ability to successfully treat you? Not very confident at all! You would be uncomfortable with the fact that he is working outside of his calling.  Now consider that this same dentist was present and in place when you come into the dentist office with excruciating pain and discomfort. Would you hesitate in asking and trusting him to help you? No, not at all!! Your confidence lies in knowing that he is operating in his calling. When you operate in your calling you become a blessing to all those God sends your way. So, if you are called to be a dentist or doctor, operate in yo

Be Careful How You Treat Others

Having grown up around many Christian leaders and teachers, I have seen those who have humble spirits, and those who do not. I have seen those who by way of their popularity have found themselves requiring dutifulness of those they were called to help. Just because we are called to help others does NOT elevate us to a position to rule over them. Be careful of how you treat those God has called you to help. Our teaching should always be seen as a pay it forward opportunity.  John 13:14   says; " Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet." I agree that it feels good to empower others, to bless others, and to help others, but in the end the only one that should be glorified is God. We must abstain from seeing ourselves higher than we aught to, and requiring it from others...  Romans 12:16   says; "Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do

Purpose: Perspective and Position

My husband and I have always believed that participating in sports would be beneficial to my children in order for them to learn teamwork, rules, etc. We were blessed to have some pretty awesome coaches cross path with our kids. One coach, in particular, left a lasting impression and life long lesson with me as he coached my middle son. My middle son was scrappy, quick and ...well... he just wanted to hit something. The coaches were allowed to remain on the field with the players to give direction, make adjustments, and call plays. I began to notice that he would at times grab the back of my son's jersey, move him from side to side and eventually point him in the direction and toward the person he wanted him to tackle. We laughed and joked about it because it started to make my son look like he was going to attack someone or something as soon as the coach let him go. Sure enough time after time, he would reach his mark and fulfill his purpose. It wasn't long before the coach co
