“The Lord your God is in your midst…” – Zephaniah 3:17 ESV. Wow, did I need to hear these words. Summer is over and it was a wonderful series of many fantastical blurs, all of which are individually treasured up in my heart. Not often can one say “we have three children and they are all […]
The 2018 Spring Tour has made it’s last stop. Now, we rest and get ready for the 2018 Fall tour. What a ride it has been meeting so many amazing people, hearing the stories of God’s faithfulness, being able to walk alongside those who are struggling and drawing close to God in the midst of […]
This weeks blog comes from our Aspire prayer warrior and team member, Madeline Cole. Amen. We hear this word from most everyone during a time of prayer. It’s the easy part! Even those of us who don’t normally pray in the presence of others will even say it. There are the quiet conservative “amens” that sound […]
Today, my words are few. Today I bring a message from my friend, Michelle, who was homeless… “Anyone who sees my picture, tell them to love Jesus so they can go to heaven.” There is something overwhelming about the call of God. In spite of our present suffering, the call remains the same…. to go, tell […]
Hopefully by the time you read this, I will be on board a ship setting sail on the first ever ASPIRE Cruise. Typically an Aspire event lasts 1 night for 3 hours, but we thought it would be fun to do a three day event and what better place than on board a ship! So, off […]
One of my favorite aspects of serving on the Aspire Tour is being an advocate for children in poverty, children waiting to be released from the grip that poverty has on their life and the lies that poverty tells them, like you will never be anything, you will never have enough. To speak on behalf […]
“Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some REST!” Mark 6:31 This is the sweet invitation that the Lord gives us, or may I be so bold as to say, He commands of us. The word “Command” sounds so harsh, yet the reality and comfort of the commands of Jesus are that […]
Today, we welcome guest blogger, Madeline Cole, who just happens to be one of our faithful Aspire Prayer Warriors. Welcome Madeline as she shares a glimpse into her life with us. As a teacher, I get a “special kick” during Parent Teacher Conferences, because I am given much insight as to why my students have […]
Aspire Fall Tour 2017 is in full swing and it has been amazing. It’s been a hoot adding Anita Renfroe to the lineup, she has brought a refreshing amount of laughter and energy that we love to have at our girls night out. It’s a joy working with a rotation of speakers, comedians and teachers, […]
Recently, I had the opportunity to attend a speaker training session for Compassion International Presenters in the beautiful city of Nashville, TN.
