In December, the Lord gives me a word. A word that He uses to grow me in my next season. The first year the Lord gave me a word, was in 2015. My word that year was TRUST. Saying goodbye to my Grandmomma ushered in the passing of a mantle of prayer. Through that year, God took me on a beautiful journey, teaching me who He was and who I was in Him all while teaching me how to trust and believe in His promises. It was a beautiful year of placing my hand in the Hands of the One who chose me in Him. In 2016, my word was FAITH. In July of the year previous, I wrote a spoken word called Fear or Fait ..read more

Who is in your life? Have you taken inventory of the people God has blessed you? Some are teachers, others are encouragers, and still, others serve to sharpen you. Yes, even those rough around the edges. I was taking inventory of the existing conditions of a job site when a gentleman walked up to me. You could tell he had been around the construction industry for a while and had the resume to prove it. I was a green young woman in a man's world. Or so I thought. As I was taking notes on my trusty notepad, the gentleman looked up at the rectangular duct hanging in the air and looked down at my ..read more

This weekend I ventured on my quarterly quest for a health update. The air was brisk but the sun shined bright. I delighted in the resilience of the daffodils as they shined in the light and the Cherry blossoms that welcome spring's reveal. These trips are quick. Fly out Sunday and fly home Monday or Tuesday. In between is a flurry of activity including checking in and out of hotels, finding food, tracking down Vlad, getting bloodwork and sitting in a machine as the colorful lights tell my doctor the current state of my extra brain mass. Once upon a time, I would have been anxious. Anxious ove ..read more

Inhale.....Exhale Genesis 2:7 tells us that God breathed into man the breath (Neshama) of life and man became a living being. YHWH (say it with me- Yahweh). Now breathe in the first and breathe out the second. God breathed life within us and placed His very Name on each breath. As I was praying for a word for 2022 God gave me "BREATH" or Neshama. The very breath of His Spirit. My prayer is that God's Spirit would breathe new life over around and into us. May we consciously breathe Him in every moment of every day of this year ..read more

The Two Janes I am not a proponent of coincidence. The closer I get to the Lord, the more I witness God in the midst of every circumstance. He is consistently connecting dots that we often miss. I am at one of favorite places. As I flew out for the NIH yesterday, I found myself at the end of the terminal where I was able to ooh and awe over the planes taking off. After what must've been 100 pictures, I chose to sit down. It wasn't ten minutes before a young woman and her friend sat down next to me. She was giggling over the 5 hour nap she was going to get on the flight. Her friend laughingly ..read more

Is the world antithetical to the Gospel or is the Gospel antithetical to the world? In John 15 Jesus said: "If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.” IN A WORLD OF HATE WE ARE CALLED TO LOVE Truth be told, we live in a world of extremes that create conflict within us. Jesus said, if we were of the world, the world would love us, but because we are not, the world hates us. How do we resolve this confli ..read more
