Many of you are new to this blog, and probably don't know a lot of my history apart from what I briefly mention in my posts. Because I was asked to write my testimony for a women's group I'm a part of, I thought I'd post it here. It's not all pretty. But God is… Continue reading Just A Lil’ Bit About Me
I pray you know that you are deeply, unconditionally, and sacrificially loved by the One Who created you, Who knows you by name, and Who has a purpose for you. Love and hugs, Passionista Mimi
On a Wednesday night a while back, my friend and I led worship at our church. She’d picked a song I didn’t know very well, “The Goodness of God”. As we practiced before service, I was caught up in this song, with almost a vibration humming in my spirit. Don’t you just love when Holy… Continue reading The Goodness of God
You may have experienced God’s love and forgiveness, but here’s a question…Do you forgive yourself? It seems that many of us struggle with this act-of-the-heart which would release us from something we’ve done in our past and the self-guilt and shame that plagues us.

The translators have taken all the original language writings, and then more, to give us a more accurate verbiage. The footnote said, “There is found after… Continue reading “Fasting” From the World?
Blowing down the corridors Of the dusty halls of past and memories Your love is cleansing, washing, Like the Swedish housekeeper Diligently ridding my heart Of the dank, dark corners and musty, ill-smelling places Opening windows, allowing clean, clear Sunshine to lighten the thoughts, Bathe my heart in sweet-smelling delight Curtains flutter as cobwebs are… Continue reading Cleansing
God gave me the best illustration!Ok, so some (most) of our backgrounds are a bit shady, or tumultuous. Definitely not made of the stuff you want to pass along to anybody! Perhaps you are thinking that you are just a nobody--no one particularly special. Yeah, yeah, so were the disciples, if you will--a bunch of… Continue reading Be Like Fireflies
Do you have a "firestarter" in your spirit? You know, something that can easily ignite the kindling of shame, guilt, and accusation that the enemy has so carefully laid? Firestarter=the lies that pile up, the beliefs you base all your self-loathing on, the guilt that eats away at you. Dearest friend, that's the enemy at… Continue reading Firestarter
I've been in the middle of several very trying situations. I know in my "knower" that God is in control, but I really love that when I'm in the midst of a mess He leads me to verses in His Word that encourage me! I just read this: Keep trusting in the Lord and what… Continue reading Feasting On God’s Faithfulness
