Declaring, "Come, Holy Spirit," is accepting the invitation to become aware of the Holy Spirit. We partner with him in daily life, receiving the comfort and peace he brings.

In life the unexpected is sure to happen, and when it does, if you’re like me, you look for answers. In my book Finding A Treasure, I share my journey through life as a teacher and mother of five.

We all need encouragement, and Scripture shows us how Jesus modeled this gift everywhere He went. This makes the gift of prophetic encouragement a necessary gift for today.

It’s a gift that can change the world and atmosphere around us, one encouraging word at a time.
