Zoo Encounter

mn_zoo_splashI was at the MN Zoo with my girls playing in the water, and the Lord highlighted a mother and her son. I got the courage to go over to her and she actually started talking to me first. I told her that I really felt like God was proud of the mother she was and she was doing a great job. I asked her if there was anything I could pray for her about and she said she was getting married in two weeks and they were hoping to add to their family!

Not a complete big deal when most people want that when they get married~ however, [Read more…]

At Our Door

television_17512_600x450This week, a young kid – fresh out of high school – came to my door to pitch television service. I was going to send him off quickly, but he was persistent, and I realized he might be there for a reason. I recognized his ring from the family bookstore and I asked if he was a Christian. He said that, no, he was not.  He said he did believe in God, though, generally.

Then he described his faith in the power of positivity. I invited him to stop by in the evening when my husband came home and he agreed, and I spent the day praying for him off and on as I went about my housework. [Read more…]

Salon Prayer

salon-a-missionMy daughter and I went to get her hair cut. We had a great time talking with the student who was cutting her hair.  She shared with us different things that were going on in her life, a lot of changes and decisions.  I wanted to pray for her but felt a little awkward and unsure.  Then I was looking through my purse and pulled put a little book that I have used to record seeing God at work around me and through me.

Pool & Police Ministry

wamego-poolI went to the park to go swimming with several of my children.  My son, 7, say a police officer and wanted to go talk to him.  So we went over and engaged in a conversation.  He asked if my son wanted to see his squad car, and get some stickers and badges.  Of course we said yes, and went to his car and my son was shown all of the workings of a squad car, the lights, the equipment and oh yes the guns!

Upon the conclusion, I asked if I could pray for him and honor his service to the community.  [Read more…]

Cafe Ministry

Cafe Open_fullMyself and two others hung out at Living Waters New Age cafe in Hopkins.  Every night of the week a different religion has a service and this was the Christian night. We got to preach, lead worship & activated everyone in the prophetic.  In one of the groups, a reluctant 7 year old learned to prophesy and blessed his mom to the point of tears.

One of the cafe’s new employees (a high school senior) hung out in the doorway most of the night and this was my conversation with him afterwards:

Coffee Shop Encouragement

coffee-shopOn my way to work I listened to an urge to stop at a cafe to grab a cup of coffee; earlier in the day I had prayed for a divine appointment and got the word “umbrella.”  As I was waiting for my coffee, a worker came through the door carrying a large umbrella from the patio tables so I asked The Lord and He showed me that he is very naturally talented playing the drums & that he isn’t to stress over practicing but to just release it and have fun.  So I asked if he played music?  [Read more…]

Airplane Ministry

airplane-aisle-81733849I flew out to Washington DC this morning, and about half way through the flight there was a big commotion at the back of the plane and soon, over the intercom they were asking for medical personnel to come back to the back of the plane.  I got up and walked to the back of the plane and they asked if I was a doctor and I said that I work for the Great physician and was a children’s pastor, and that I wanted to pray for the woman.

Engaging My Riders

Motor_Coach_Bus_MN_bigI recently took a new contract at the coach bus company where I work.  This meant serving the same people everyday.  Where previously I saw hundreds of new people everyday.  This happened at the same time that Engage started.

I started to pray for my riders by name as I got to know them was intentionally polite & encouraging.  Soon I started receiving mental pictures and specific information about these people from the Lord.  [Read more…]

Connecting A Husband & Wife

human-touchI had an opportunity to minister to “Jane”. She is currently in jail serving a year. Her husband had a stroke while she has been incarcerated & has been placed in a nursing home while he recovers. She asked me to pray for her & her husband. As you could imagine she is very concerned, especially when she is unable to be with him during this time.

As I visited with her, I found out the her husband is in a nursing home that is located very close to where I live. [Read more…]
