Jana Spicka and Women Getting Real Ministries
If Walls Could Talk
Here’s the quote that was engraved in the wall of a 150-year-old church in St Louis.
“I think more of the place where I was baptized than of the cathedral where I was crowned.For the dignity of a child of God, which was bestowed on me at baptism, is greater than that of the rule of the kingdom.The latter I shall lose at death, the other will be my passport to everlasting glory.”
St. Louis IX, King of France

Relationships Need a Real God
about 5 days ago - No comments
It is always a challenge at first to follow God into a new teaching topic. It is not the study or the actual delivery of the spiritual download I tremble over. It is the living it out first in private before He lets me share it in the public. Therefore you can imagine my hesitation…
A Picture into the Future

In honor of Mother’s Day, I thought I would post one of my favorite photos of the Spicka Chicks. Shot nearly five years ago, I love is how this picture captured the “Who” of them before they came to “Be” them. Salem, the oldest, is the strong, not so silent type. Her face is full…
Songs in the Night

“He will light the way He will lead us home As we offer all To the One who saves us” The Lord woke me up with this song at 1:30 a.m. I had gone to bed with a rolling question that needed His answer. And although this didn’t answer the specific, it absolutely answered the…

We have all green lights from God. All the promises of God are “yes and amen” in Jesus Christ, therefore we can move with ease and confidence in God. Why does this matter? So many people are paralyzed about what to do with their lives, what God’s will is, how then should they live, or…
Yes or No, both are Good

Sometimes it is good to state the obvious. My kids still act shocked by it, but on occasion, I tell them “No.” I usually have a good reason, or insight, or hunch that they may, or may not see– or agree with. But the answer remains a no. And, I still love them. I have…
A Wedding, a Baby Shower and a Funeral

Within a month I will have attended all three of these life events. These reality checks should be mandatory once a year for every human being. Why? Because they remind us of promises and futures. They give us perspective on our choices, and what we are sowing and reaping. And, if our hearts are beating…

I am reading this AMAZING book called, Compelled by Love, by Heidi Baker. She and her husband are lovers of Jesus and they pour out their lives to orphans in Mozambique, Africa. She says the poor and orphaned have taught her how to love. Talk about a paradigm shift. Beyond her degrees, Powerpoints, and fundraising…
Render Miracles of Our Sin

What a crazy call. A friend of mine who had completely given up hope on her marriage called to tell me that God had changed her heart. You have to understand how radical this is. They are separated. They have been at war for years. And the last time we talked, my friend and I…
Sweetly Broken Abortion Healing Retreat

“I thought I was over it.” “I’ve never told anyone.” “I’m afraid God is punishing me.” “How can I make this right?” “How can I forgive…?” We know how you feel. We have been there too.Through the fear, nightmares, denial, anger and regrets. BUT we have passed through to a new place called peace, and true forgiveness. We…
A New Spin on Forgiveness
about 3 weeks ago - No comments
I love it when the Holy Spirit blows me up. He keeps bringing revelation about love and forgiveness. At Yes and Amen the Lord called for us to fall in love with Him. How do we love Him more? At WGR class last Tuesday, we looked at the parable Jesus told about the two debtors.…
