2026

In 2020, shortly after Covid hit our nation, God called me out of the writing career I had spent 30 years building and led me to spend my time praying in intercession for the nation and for my city, region and church. Actually, He didn't tell me what He was doing at first. I was on a break from writing, so when God asked me to use all the time I would have spent writing in prayer instead, I thought it was just for a season. God was gracious in not giving me more than I could handle all at once. I had thought I would write for the rest of my life. I could not have imagined totally walking away from my career. But that's what I did, in obedience to Him. And the years since have been the most blessed of my life.

Since 2020, as I have spent days, weeks, months, now years, praying, my relationship with the Lord has greatly deepened. I've learned to hear His voice in the various ways He speaks, even when He barely whispers. (Of course, this is a learning journey for the rest of my life.) I had been recording all of His words in a journal. Then in the fall of 2024, the Lord spoke to me very clearly and told me to begin posting them publicly. This was yet another big surprise to me. Nothing I had ever sought to do. But in obedience, I have been posting the words ever since. To read, please visit burningbrand.blog
