Angel Encounters…

Angel encounters…

Have you experienced one? I would love to hear your story!

This angel encounter of mine is one of my most memorable.

The excerpt is from Angels, in my book, Divine Encounters...

“Several years ago, my son and I were on a road trip. All

was fine and low-key until it wasn’t. A car passing us suddenly

lost the entire driver’s side wheel. It shot straight in front of

our car, bounced, and flew backward, heading directly for our

windshield. We were in the fast lane with a guardrail to the

right and the swerving car with the missing wheel to the left. In

slow motion, I watched in terror as that wheel shot straight at

us. At the absolute last moment, it veered completely opposite

its trajectory path, physically impossible, as if something with

an incredible amount of force pushed it, and the wheel hit the

guard rail and stopped. My son and I would have been killed or

gravely injured that day had angels not intervened and brought

that spinning tire under God’s control. The divine among us.”

Encounters with Jesus

I’m curious…

Have you had a divine encounter with Jesus?

There are so many ways He reveals Himself to us, as intimate and diverse as there are people.

✨in dreams

🌾in divinely planned connections with another

🙏in a moments of deep prayer

I love that He knows us so well that each encounter we have with Him is so deeply intimate, personal, and perfectly timed.

How about you? Where have you had an encounter with Jesus?

Painted Clouds

Good morning from the garden! The sun is on its way up.

The early light on the clouds has a friendly, bright look to it; showing off the paintbrush clouds that God designed for us this morning.

Have a beautiful day & keep your eyes open for blessings & divine encounters.

Morning Blessing

May the God of compassion fill you to the brim with generosity, kindness, and provision. May these treasures spill out and over everyone you meet – ripples of blessings and goodness.

Weakness from Divine Whispers…

Weakness. This isn’t a word most of us want to ascribe to ourselves. However, strength needs weakness. When we are at the end of ourselves is when Jesus has room to come in with His strength to protect and do the miraculous. I don’t believe He views our weakness as something to look down on or shake His head at in annoyance. I believe He views our weakness as a beautiful opportunity to shower us with His grace, love, and protection—to impart His perfect strength into us and our circumstances. He shows us glimpses of the future as He opens and closes doors. We see a foreshadowing of eternity as we watch Him do the impossible, comforting and healing us when life doesn’t turn out how we prayed it would.
He is the Weaver of our life tapestry. He sees the beginning, middle, and end. He intimately knows where our lives will intersect with another’s journey. Perhaps the unique and specific strengths He has given us will be exactly what is needed to help another—our strength perfectly matched to their circumstances.
Weakness doesn’t have to hold a negative connotation. It has much more depth than that. Perhaps there is a richness to it that speaks of humanity needing each other to get through life.
In another’s weakness we get the wonderful opportunity to be His hands, feet, and comfort. We are also blessed with opportunities to be on the receiving end of another’s strength. The life-song of humanity is a thing of beauty that intersects and strengthens as we witness startling acts of bravery and kindness, a chance to bring hope. There is beauty in weakness.
