WE ARE SO EXCITED!
Last year I posted a story about my daughter (Lexi) and what it looks like to respond in LOVE when somebody hurts you.
When I clicked "send," I had no idea the legs this story would have, as it literally journeyed across the world.
The story quickly went viral and I had two video production companies, news stations, journalists, several huge online media companies, all contact me to publish our story!
The most exciting of them all is 'Love What Matters' published a book with the most inspirational internet stories and our article was selected and published in their book! We received the gorgeous hardcover gem in the mail and I surprised Lexi by wrapping it. She couldn't believe her story was published!

God Encounters

5/18/2017

I was driving down the road to meet with a group of people. When all of a sudden, the Holy Spirit began to randomly download information about a specific lady that was apart of this group. "The download" was so intense, I had to pull my car over and grab a pen to jot down everything that was being said to my heart. I wrote down very specific details that I could NEVER had known or imagined on my own.
In order to protect this person's privacy, all I can say is the 'word of knowledge' shared with me was so personal and revealed a secret this person had struggled with and been tormented over.
You may be asking yourself, why would God share someone's private information with me?
I'll tell you why... because He also provided me with answers that this person had not known (about this situation) and desperately needed to hear.
He provided me with a "key" to unlock this person's doubt, unforgiveness towards herself and shame.
God is not in the business of gossip, He is in the business of setting people free and He wanted to partner-up, by asking me to communicate this message to His beloved! The only thing standing in the way.... was me!
I battled with my own doubts,
"What if I made this up?"
"What if I'm wrong?"
"This person is going to think I'm crazy!"
"I can't share this with her, it's too personal and I don't really have that kind of relationship with her."
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!
Here is what I can tell you; When a message comes from the Lord... IT WILL NOT GO AWAY UNTIL YOU ACCOMPLISH WHAT HE ASKED YOU TO DO!
I would stay up at night thinking about this. It would flood my mind during the day, and even visit my dreams! The Lord was relentless until I surrendered. You see, I was thinking about myself, God was thinking about her freedom!
I finally reached out and when I shared what the Lord had told me... she cried!
She cried because she knew this came from the Lord. It confirmed things she had privately thought about. She told me, this "secret" was the very situation, many years ago, that had ultimately turned her away from God!
I didn't know that but God did and in this supernatural encounter, He mended the gap that stood between them!

He Meets Us Where We Are...

5/8/2017

I got my hair done the other day and as I went to leave, my hairdresser walked me out. Before we could reach the parking lot, the owner of the salon next door motioned for us to come see her.
As soon as I entered, she looked me straight in the eyes and said, "Holly, will you pray for my business and bless my new salon?"
There were women getting their hair done, so I replied with a little hesitation, "You want me to pray right now?"
"Yes! Right now!" She said with urgency!
I have to be honest, just because I am in ministry doesn't mean I don't get intimidated and caught off guard.
Yet, I have walked with the Lord long enough to know how He operates, and He usually works best when I take risk and step out of my comfort zone.
Just as I was about to begin, another woman pokes her head in (from outside) to ask a question. But instead of getting what she came for, she quietly sits down as if the Lord positioned her to receive in such a timely manner.
As I begin to open my mouth, I quickly learned that I was not there to "bless this business" but instead the Lord had each woman on His mind!
As I prayed, one by one God began to share things with me about each individual person in that room.
What I heard, I spoke. Which released His presence (love) in the room and each individual heart was fused together.
The things I shared could have only came from the Lord (Someone who knew them intimately) and the listener knew it.
It didn't matter that we were strangers. Hair, no longer was the focus. It was Him who was at the center of it all, which means everybody gets blessed (even His messenger).
For a brief moment in time, busy schedules were put on hold, curling irons were set down, walls began to crumble and strangers wept while sharing their secrets.
It didn't matter if you were "religious" or not! We ALL felt His presence and we all agreed that we had encountered Him!
Church doesn't only reside in a steeple, Church doesn't only take place on Sunday. We, the people, are His church and He meets us exactly where we are, even in a hair salon!
