When I was a young child, I was diagnosed with cancer. Unfortunately, it was thought to be incurable and I was given three days to live. I endured more than a year of chemotherapy. During that time, many people prayed for me, and my faith filled parents chose to believe that God is who He says He is, Jehovah Rapha, … Read More

I started praying this back in December, hesitantly at first, the same way I pray for near impossible things. God, could you heal? God, could you save? God, could you just give me more joy?

A couple years ago I was asked to speak for chapel services at my daughter’s high school. I remember being scared to death. The thought that terrified me the most is that these kids would be little versions of me when I was their age, and guys, teenage Brittney was a total turd! As I sat there noting what I … Read More

If anyone saw us they might laugh, my goodness… we laugh at ourselves! But it is so much fun and such a sweet thing between us. I had struggled … Read More

So, I have had this particular goal for pretty much all of my 30’s. I truly just want my mother to walk in my home, gasp with delight and say, “Oh my, Jackie, your plants look so healthy, ALIVE, and well taken care of!!” I know, I know. I reach for the stars with my aspirations! Lol. But (like many … Read More

“So they [the disciples] went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.  Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.  He called out to them, “Friends, haven’t you any fish?”  “No,” they answered.  He said, “Throw your nets on the right side of the … Read More

December 19th, 2016, I remember standing in front of a huge Buddhist Monastery’s iron gates in Kathmandu, Nepal. The Lord spoke to me about sharing the Gospel with these beautiful baldheaded girls, that were enslaved behind the walls. This gate was “supposed to be locked,” but was supernaturally unlocked and cracked, whispering for me to enter. Need I also mention, … Read More
