My New Name
In 8 days I will have a new name: Mrs. Renee Fisher. All those years ago, God knew. He prepared me. Changed me. And now, He wants to give me a new name. When Jesus asked his soon to be disciples to follow Him they were FISHER-men. They simply worked to make money and provide for their families. Nothing more. Nothing less. In this next year of marriage, I want to be a living example. No matter who you are or what job you have–I want you to know without a doubt that Jesus loves you and wants to have a relationship with you. I look forward to revamping my…

Silence Speaks
“Look! I am sending my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me. Then the Lord you are seeking will suddenly come to his Temple. The messenger of the covenant, whom you look for so eagerly, is surely coming,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. “But who will be able to endure it when he comes?” – Malachi 3:1-2a, NLT In my own version of the Bible–Renee 3:16 says “when” and “how long” I must wait. But in the days of Malachi, they didn’t have anything to go off. And all we see is a single white blank page in our Bibles. Silence speaks. But all too often, it’s…

29 Things
Everyone who knows me, knows how excited I get about my birthday, and that I celebrate my birthday month! So on the last day, I wanted to share with you 29 things I’ve learned in my short lifetime in the hopes that you’d be inspired and most of all encouraged! 1. Your spiritual birthday matters more than your earthly ones. ~ I proudly accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of my life and became born again on my 5th birthday, June 24, 1987. 2. It’s never too early to get a Bible concordance. ~ When I was 7, I balled my eyes out when I saw how horrible the…

He Should Have Known Better
“On the way to Egypt, at a place where Moses and his family had stopped for the night the Lord confronted him and was about to kill him” (Exodus 4:24, NLT). I never really understood that passage. I mean Moses had just been singled out (again) by God. Called. To lead the people of Israel out of their slavery in Egypt. He was the only one besides Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to get face time with God, and yet God choose to reveal Himself as Yahweh (Exodus 3:15, NLT). Not even Abe, Izzy, or JJ got that far!! So why in the world was God trying to kill Moses? Seriously?…

Whom do you follow?
“Can one blind person lead another? Won’t they both fall into a ditch” (Luke 6:39, NLT)? Today’s blog inspiration comes from a number of places. #1 – Editing my dating & relationships book for Harvest House #2 – Study of 1 John 1 #3 – Personal reflection & quiet time #4 – Time spent with my boyfriend. #5 – Remembering my first book, “Faithbook of Jesus.” Recently, I was convicted and encouraged by the “blind leading the blind” passage. What a great representation of examining the self, right? David was personal with God; that is why I believe He was called a man after God’s own heart. He continually asked…

Called to the Altar
When I say the words: promise, dream, and destiny, what comes to mind? Are you excited? Are you afraid? My gut reaction is JOY and lots of it. But if I think about it too long, my day dreams turn into fear and anxiety. Why? Because this is me we’re talking about. I am fearfully [literally] and wonderfully made. I’m not gonna lie, sometimes I don’t trust God with my emotions. I let them overcome me and I run. I mean, I had waited and prayed for a church like this for three years. Don’t get me wrong, I love my church in North County – North Coast Church. It’s…
