Difficult Circumstances: God’s Chariots of Fire to Take us HigherBy Terri Broome How there could have been any pleasure in the sight of these stick-thin legs and hunger-bloated stomachs I could not imagine. Surely there is no more wretched sight than the human body unloved and uncared for. “Nor could I see the necessity for the complete undressing: when we finally reached the examining room a doctor looked down each throat, another–a dentist presumably–at our

My Greatest FearBy Terri Broome In the Old Testament, we read of a king named Saul. God chose him to be the first king of Israel. The prophet Samuel anointed him and prophesied about his immediate future. He told him minute details of the next few hours and then said something amazing. The Spirit of the LORD will come powerfully upon you, and you will prophesy with them; and you will be changed into a

A Painless Path to GloryBy Terri Broome Enough about me, let’s talk about you. What do you think about me? ~Steve Brown I often eat lunch with people and I love it. When someone has problems, victories, or just needs a shoulder to cry on, I will often meet them for lunch. Sharing a meal and sharing our lives with each other is a gift from God. There’s something about it that brings two people

What Does God Eat?By Terri Broome I’ve had that title in my head for a long time because I thought it may get you here; reading or listening to this blog. One of the many incredible blessings of seeking God through His Word is something called, “revelation.” The Bible can be read by anyone and understood on a surface level. However, God Himself will do something for each of us when He decides to. We

Why Do We Have a Body?By Terri Broome How many women (and some men) have we seen in Hollywood who start out beautiful and end up looking freakish? Why? They couldn’t take aging and so they went to the plastic surgeon…over and over again. What started as a nip and a tuck often ends up looking like a Halloween mask. We get old. We sag. We wrinkle. We gain weight (that’s a choice, but it

Let Me be a WomanBy Terri Broome Imagine with me a majestic horse galloping across an open field. Her mane is flowing, her muscles rippling and she is a sight of pure beauty as she operates within her element. Now imagine that same horse swimming in the ocean. She looks panicked and clumsy. Her mane is wet and sticking to her as she fights to survive in a hostile environment for which she was not

Our Greatest (and most unlikely) TestimonyBy Terri Broome                                                                                                                                      

No One Can Stop Faith; Not Even JesusBy: Terri Broome In 1985, Jim Carrey wrote himself a check for ten million dollars and put it in his wallet. He dated the check for 1995.  In the memo it says, “For acting services rendered.” At that moment, he was a 21 years old man with no money. He was sitting in his broken down Toyota, parked on a hill overlooking Hollywood. As a young person, his

Anxiety-Are We Destined to Live With It? By Terri Broome All little children have one thing in common; they don’t know how to worry. They are so dependent on the people around them, they don’t realize they are dependent. Their normal is to simply live and let the day unfold. They don’t worry about yesterday. They don’t worry about an hour into the future. They live in the moment and their minds are uncluttered. Jesus

The Reason I Have Not Had an AffairBy Terri Broome Someone came to me the other day and asked me if I had anything in my past that would come back to haunt me in ministry. I wanted to say, “Have you heard my testimony?” I’m pretty honest about my “slutty mcslut slut” days. But I didn’t. I simply answered the questions about whether I had ever had an affair or an emotional affair. I

God is Not Safe, But He is GoodBy Terri Broome Anyone who knows me knows I love The Chronicles of Narnia (children’s series) by C. S. Lewis. Mr. Beaver is one of my favorite characters and he delivers one of my favorite lines. The little girl, Susan, is very concerned about meeting Aslan. She thought he was a man but found out he was a lion (Aslan is actually a portrayal of Jesus in the

Moms, Stand Firm at Your PostBy Terri Broome I read a children’s story called “The Knights of the Silver Shield.” I was knee deep in raising my own children and it spoke volumes to me. Long story short; the silver shield given to each knight was cloudy at the beginning. As the knight would fight battles and his bravery increased, the shield would get more and more shiny. Only the bravest knights ever achieved a
