It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud; and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth. Genesis 9:14-16 NKJV Jade, floods are symbolic for a

NOT me and Jade, lol! Family Jade, the idea of family can be a tricky subject. In the natural, you have a biological mother and father who procreated to give birth to you, and every person on this earth was made that way (in some fashion). Yet, in God’s kingdom, family is not by blood, but spiritual. Everyone birthed in God’s kingdom has Him as their Father, and experience as their mother. My job is only to take care of you and pass on the wisdom that our Father has given me,

Jade, in this fallen and broken world, you may come to believe that there is really nothing to be thankful for. But that is so far from the truth. There is a God, and He is the reason you have everything in this world to be thankful for. I think about some of the things I am thankful for in this season, and it really blows my mind all the things that God has done for me, now that I’m almost forty. But before I discuss what I am thankful for with you, let’s discuss the power o

Jade, I am almost four decades old, and I just realized that I have spent the majority of that time being the unloved woman. I have heard a couple of sermons on this, and they usually revolve around Leah being unloved by Jacob. Leah had been used by her father and unwanted by her husband, while her younger sister Rachel, who was beautiful and loved, became jealous of her when God blessed her with children. That is not my story per se, but my recognition of me being the unlove

Jade, I know you’re too young (3 months!) to know the story about Peter walking on the water in the midst of a storm, but let me give you a synopsis. The disciples were in a boat that Jesus sent ahead without Him, and a storm eventually settled over the boat. The disciples were very scared that they were going to die, but then they saw something floating on the sea. It was Jesus, coming to them, and walking on the water in the midst of the storm. They thought He was a ghost a

Jade, mental health issues are rampant these days for everyone. I want to focus on women, however, because I am a woman and you will become one. I have suffered from several mental health issues during my time, and when you get older you will be privy to what they are, but I am doing everything in my power to take care of myself, for your and my sakes. I had to make the difficult decision to stay on mental health medication during my pregnancy with you, and I even went to a m

My daughter Jade, you need to know that God is love. I could not truly love you without the love of God. God's love is unlike anything you will ever experience. My favorite chapter of the Bible is 1 Corinthians 13, as it teaches you what love is (and is not) and how to recognize it. We'll start with some important scriptures from that chapter: 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (NKJV) [4] Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; [5]
