Moses
The Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend. -Exodus 33:11a NIV Do you ever think about the crazy life of Moses? I mean, what a life! Born as a slave and slated for murder by the order of Pharoah, his mother and sister put him in a basket to float down the…

Our First Online Class!
It’s fitting that Band of Opals’ first online class would be about the voice of God. There wouldn’t have been a single post if it wasn’t for God speaking so clearly and so gently to me 5 years ago. “You should be writing.” It came quietly and sounded like a thought in my own mind…

A Mother’s Parable
The Kingdom of Heaven is like a baby. From the moment of conception, she grows and develops, in the order and pattern set for her. She is born and draws her first breath. She is driven to eat, be held, kick her legs, roll, sit up, rock, crawl, then walk. Jesus taught through parables in…

Friendship
Most days I just share what’s going on in my head or heart and how God has moved in my life, but today I want to challenge you and ask you a direct question. Are you truly friends with Jesus? Notice I didn’t ask if you were a Christian. That word gets thrown around more…
