I want to mark this day. I don’t know if I’ve prayed for an election quite as much as this one.
I finally turned off the tv last night because I couldn’t keep my eyes open 😴 but as I did, I prayed and said, “Lord, I said I’d trust You either way (so goodnight)…” And I went to sleep.
As soon as my alarm went off, I turned on the news. I was honestly surprised at how relieved I felt. Maybe like many others, I was ready to trust God either way, but a sense of gratitude washed all over me when I read that Trump had won the presidency! 🙌🏻
But here’s the thing… our prayers can’t stop now. God said, “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14).
Our land needs a lot of healing. And the Church can and should play a VITAL role in that.
I pray our humbleness and gratitude speaks louder than anything else. Jesus was Lord yesterday and HE IS STILL LORD TODAY!

I woke up today with sheer appreciation for these amazing men and women I have the honor of serving with at Transformation Church. Each one of them has added to my life in a big way.
Pastor Tod: you’re an encourager at heart but I also have the privilege of seeing your prayer walks. You want people to know and believe the victory we have in Christ— that no matter what, we are overcomers! Thank you for always calling us up!
Pastor Chris: your dedication to the Word of God blesses me. You’re like a deep sea diver who brings up treasures to share with everyone. I love watching the call of God on your life unfold more and more. Thank you for your love and dedication to teach and lead us!
Pastor Micheal: your eyes light up as big as your smile when you talk about the love of God. You’re dedicated to knowing Jesus more, and it seems only natural that you’d want to share that with all of us. Thank you for your continual pursuit.
Pastor Gabi: you are unflinching and I admire that. No matter what obstacle comes, you handle it with such grace. And you teach that way too— line upon line, revealing the beautiful riches of God’s Word that would be a blur to some. Thank you for always pointing us to grace and truth.
God has set each of these in His church as He saw fit— and I’m grateful to be a part of it!

The Texas RMAI Retreat is always special. A big thank you to Pastor Trey and Earlene Hill for their leadership! It was extra special to have Don and Denise Burns as special guests this year— powerful words of encouragement (and wisdom)!
I haven’t been to Galveston in years but recently watched “Restoring Galveston” on one of my favorite DIY channels so of course I had to find their 1912 renovation and get a pic! Gotta love sweet friends who will go with me 😅 Jay, Selena, Allison— yall are the best! Really enjoyed our afternoon together!
Grateful for the many friends in RMAI. The Lone Star Region is doing well!

I remember writing this quote by Charles Spurgeon in one of my early bibles. But it wasn’t until recently that I thought about this again.
While at a prayer meeting, the Holy Spirit said, “God is the end goal. He is not a means to another end.” And I had to ask myself, is what I’m doing reaching the goal to know Him more?
He wants us to know Him and His Word first and then help others find Him. If we’ve ever made Him the means to an end (even unintentionally), we’ve had it backwards.
He is Alpha.
Make Him Omega too.
