The God of Comfort

Brenda Savanhu Author of Memorial Stones Did a friend send this email to you? (what an awesome friend 🙌🏿) If so, click here to subscribe. The God of Comfort It would be foolish of me to think I have the words to address what took place here in the United States this week. As I processed with a friend, she asked a poignant question: “Whose voice do we listen to amid chaos?” So I leave you with God-breathed scripture penned by the Apostle Paul, Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus…

Discipline

Brenda Savanhu Author of Memorial Stones Discipline At the beginning of August, the Lord invited me into the secret place. He beckoned me into incubation. (If you missed the post on Incubation, click here.) I never know what to expect when He invites me into something. Mostly, it ends up looking different than I pictured. So far, incubation has looked like refraining from some things, surrendering grief, rearranging my schedule and now discipline, which I least expected. If I could choose,…

Surrender

Brenda Savanhu Author of Memorial Stones Surrender When I asked Holy Spirit what to write about for this post, I heard the word, “surrender”.

Exceedingly and Abundantly!

Brenda Savanhu Author of Memorial Stones Exceedingly and Abundantly! At the beginning of May, I wrote a post called, When Rest Speaks. In it, I share I had been in a season of asking God questions but not hearing any answers. After a while, I took the cue to just “BE” with Him in His presence. I also alluded to a project I had been asking the Lord about in that post. Well, that project was my book launch party. If you recall, a friend texted me a question, and as I read her text the Lord gave…
