When Rest Speaks

Brenda Savanhu Author of Memorial Stones When Rest Speaks Last week I shared about God’s presence and how I have been walking in a season of silence with Him. I’d ask Him questions and hear silence. So, I took the cue to sit with Him and not ask for anything. It has been hard to do that without distraction. To just “BE” with Him. I have to fight for that space especially in my mind.

Praise Him

Praise Him

Brenda Savanhu Author of Memorial Stones Praise Him I can’t shake it. For weeks, I’ve heard ” Praise Me” from the Lord. Prayer requests? “Praise Me.” Prayers answered? “Praise Me.” Navigating a challenge? “Praise Me.” In despair? “Praise Me.” Therefore, I won’t take time today to share. Instead, I invite you to spend the next few minutes praising the Lord. No matter where you are or what is happening in your life, join me in thanking and praising Him. Don’t know where to start? How about…
