One of the things God has been speaking to me after my January fast was the importance of moving forward. Moving forward is a natural process in the journey of life, and I would like to suggest to you that it is how we are designed as humans. Take a look at your feet. If they are crossed, position them flat on the ground. Tell me which direction they are pointing? For most people, their feet are pointed straight. Our…

How’s your fast going? Is it difficult? If your answer is yes, I think you’re on the right track. During this year’s fast, the Holy Spirit has been revealing to me that I am going through a change in my body, mind and spirit. I felt the Lord tell me that I was going through Spiritual Ketosis.  For those of you who don’t know what Ketosis is, it is a metabolic state that occurs when your body burns fat for…

The theme for this year, 2024, is Patient Endurance. I’m not gonna lie to you and say that I was excited to hear about this year’s journey. I’m not too sure what it will all entail but it doesn’t sound like it’s going to be easy, nor does it sound like it’s going to be fun. When I was thinking about patient endurance, I thought about an analogy of what patient endurance may look like. Imagine on Christmas day you…

As someone who is goal-oriented, one of the first things I do in a new season and/or new year is to come up with a set of goals that I can work towards. Setting goals has been a very useful tool for me in many areas of my life from my physical goals – getting into shape and eating healthy, mental goals – reading more and taking time out of my day to sit and think, emotional goals – becoming…

One of the things that caught my attention last Sunday was when Pastor Alvin said “without a broken heart, we will never move to action.”  When I thought about what he said and let it marinate in my spirit, I was reminded of my relationship with my Dad.  Today, we have a great relationship. I can pick up the phone and call my dad if I ever need anything. I walk and talk with my dad, I hug my dad…

I remember receiving an email from Ann Dalton a couple years ago. At the end of her email was a quote that said: Those who leave everything in God’s hand will eventually see God’s hand in everything. After hearing Ryan’s message on Sunday about five loaves and two fish, I was reminded of that quote. In his devotional on Monday he said: “Five loaves and two fish is a tiny amount of food compared to the masses who needed it.…

At Lifespring we have many opportunities to be a blessing to others, especially those who are in need. This past Sunday, we created 200 winter care-packages for the homeless. We had everyone who attended that day help assemble these winter care-packages, from children to parents to grandparents. It was truly a family effort. One of the verses that seem to capture what we were doing is: This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life…

As I was reading Acts 13, verse 22 struck a chord in my heart. Acts 13:22 (NIV) 22 After removing Saul, he made David their king. God testified concerning him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.’ Many of us are familiar with God’s words concerning David as being a man after His own heart, and willing to do everything He wanted him to do.…

“It’s not WHAT you know, it’s WHO you know.” This should be the mission statement for the Christian journey.  I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been in situations where I had no idea what to do but God spoke to me and what He said was exactly what was needed. I’m sure you’ve heard of this quote in the context of employment, where knowing the right people was more advantageous than knowing the right things to say. Sometimes…

I’d like to re-introduce to you one of the most rare and uncommon ancient practices that may drastically improve your life – physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Some of you might have heard of it before and for others it may be a new concept. I am unsure of when its origin but it can probably be pinpointed to the time of B.C (Either Before Christ or Before Covid). The ancient practice I am referring to is the practice of…

As we say “goodbye to summer” and “hello to fall,” I am reminded that when one season comes to an end another season begins. For some of us we might be going back to school, starting a new job, or even taking on new responsibilities and tasks. For others it might be taking a break, going on vacation or discovering something new.  For most people, starting something new always comes with challenges. I remember going through a busy season of…

After hearing Ryan’s message on Sunday, I was reminded of the importance of orienting yourself towards God. In order to go in the right direction you need to be facing the right way. One of the things that I’ve been learning to do is to Seek the Guide of my life rather than the Map of it. What I mean by that is, rather than trying to see where I need to go and trying to figure out how to…
