BREATHE DEEPLY: Launch Forward
http://breathedeeply1.blogspot.com/2012/03/launch-forward.html
AN OFFICIAL BLOG OF RALLY POINT MINISTRIES. Friday, March 9, 2012. Setbacks. Thin places. And torn veils. All of these have interchangeably described the past five months of my family’s life. Setback. (perhaps the greatest of our young family’s life). A setback can be described as a “reversal.” You are moving forward, when something spins you around and takes you back a few steps before you can stop it. We had direction, confirmation, affirmation. Even preparation. Then the unthinkable happened. Sickenin...

BREATHE DEEPLY: From Slavery to...
http://breathedeeply1.blogspot.com/2010/12/from-slavery-to.html
AN OFFICIAL BLOG OF RALLY POINT MINISTRIES. Thursday, December 2, 2010. Several years ago, exhaustion found me lying in a heap on the floor, crying out to God. These were the cries of misery coming from the depths of a wounded heart. Years of oppression had taken their toll. No longer in denial, I had become painfully aware of my condition. I was a slave to my past; and I wanted to be free. God first rescued me through the work of Jesus Christ. We have an enemy much like the king of Egypt, named Satan...

BREATHE DEEPLY: God's Love: Part VIII, "Experience the Width"
http://breathedeeply1.blogspot.com/2010/10/gods-love-part-viii-experience-width.html
AN OFFICIAL BLOG OF RALLY POINT MINISTRIES. Sunday, October 17, 2010. God's Love: Part VIII, "Experience the Width". Last week, I mentioned Paul’s prayer for us in Ephesians three, verse eighteen, that all of the followers of Jesus would experience the extravagant dimensions of God’s love. The NIV version of the Bible reads from verses sixteen through nineteen,. And to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.”. The dimensions Paul spoke of ...

And I pray that you, having been rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ. Though Paul offered this...

BREATHE DEEPLY: June 2011
http://breathedeeply1.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
AN OFFICIAL BLOG OF RALLY POINT MINISTRIES. Thursday, June 30, 2011. Bold Love (offering love in the most impossible places). Confrontation. Ugh. The very sound of the word causes the skin to crawl and the stomach to sink. Most of us would rather run and hide than confront someone who has hurt us. On the other hand, some people rather enjoy fighting back, but rarely with the goal of reconciliation. ( click here for the topic of vengeance. The latter is from The Wounded Heart. If you cannot identify with ...

BREATHE DEEPLY: May 2011
http://breathedeeply1.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
AN OFFICIAL BLOG OF RALLY POINT MINISTRIES. Saturday, May 28, 2011. Onions. They look so innocent in their thin paper-like outer covering. If you’ve ever removed the outer skin and cut through one, you are not at all surprised by what happens next. Uncontrollably, you feel the burn. Your eyes begin to water. The deeper you cut into its layers, the more intense the burn until you are crying big tears! In that moment, we misunderstand our continued need for healing from Jesus in these now raw places where ...

BREATHE DEEPLY: September 2011
http://breathedeeply1.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
AN OFFICIAL BLOG OF RALLY POINT MINISTRIES. Friday, September 23, 2011. The Innocence of Beauty. Sitting here trying to capture the perfect thought, I just let out a deep sigh. All sorts of images are vacillating around in my mind. Bouncy, swingy, swaying little figures, skipping down a sidewalk with a sweet little song. Pictures of frilly dress up clothes, pink tutus, and plastic strings of pearls- tiny little feet in high heel shoes. In their innocence I see them. Do you delight in me? Isaiah 6:3 tells...

AN OFFICIAL BLOG OF RALLY POINT MINISTRIES. Wednesday, March 28, 2012. Launch Forward: the Background Story. Ackground to every story matters. Oad from yesterday directly connects our tomorrows. My thirst was truly quenched, as Jesus did not disappoint! I will share various specifics along the way in future posts as they relate. Little could I have known at the time, though, just how much his words to me, the beauty, and the rescue would continue. She had seen the kids riding and heard the screams from h...

BREATHE DEEPLY: Beauty Speaks
http://breathedeeply1.blogspot.com/2011/08/beauty-of-past-that-has-been-healed-is.html
AN OFFICIAL BLOG OF RALLY POINT MINISTRIES. Friday, August 26, 2011. The beauty of a past that has been healed is expressed in The Song of Solomon:. 8220;My beloved speaks and says to me: ‘Arise my love, my beautiful one, and come away, for behold the winter is past; the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth, the time of singing has come…” (2:10-12 ESV). The ground disappears under a blanket of white while a piercing silence dominates. You feel trapped inside, and life is scarce. Then th...
