Some years ago I realized I was holding unforgiveness against my mother. Her sin? Failing to call me by my name and see me as an individual, separate from her.

One way God speaks to me is through dreams. Last year I dreamed that someone was placing peace on or in my left chest. I said, “Oh good, now I can go to it and feel it whenever I need it.” Last week I dreamed someone was saying to me: “Give it time.” After some reflection, I knew the areas…
Across our nation, American people are asking, “What’s going on?” A real true fear is bubbling up as we watch a radical shift take place before our eyes.
