Walking in Faith

Each year the Lord highlights something special for me for each Christian holiday. Tonight, on the eve of Lent, as my children lay sleeping, I am reflecting on what just happened in my home last Saturday night, as I was preparing for a small V-day party at my home. The refrigerator went out due to […]

Just like the Bob Goff book, love can be so sweetly said. But, I have learned, if somebody loves you, they show it through action. We are all limited, yes, and there is grace in our struggle with natural human selfishness, but true, deep, real love-always does. This Valentine’s Day I am focused on loving […]

I know the importance of perseverance. But day after day, handling physical pain and trying to internally motivate myself to think positive and push through battles and chronic pain can be too much to bear, even for types who bend toward trying to be tough/push through pain/persevere.

It is so important to be accurate with our words. To explain things with words that accurately and correctly give our audience a good picture of what we saw or experienced. The more accurate, the more integrity, which can have a ripple effect, and bless those who hear our words.

A natural human response to physical pain is to want to make it stop. Emotional pain is no different. I have ways of coping, the main strategies are finding Scripture and distraction. Some pain doesn’t ever go away, it just heals. And it is better left in the past. Today, as I fast and realize […]

I have seen too many times in my life and road of navigating relationships that the tighter we hold on, the worse it can get. My kids, I want more than anything, to turn out right. I teach them, I demonstrate that teaching by example, I pray for them, I protect them, but ultimately, I’ll […]

Today, as a mom and therefore automatic prayer warrior I am praying for the prevention of coronavirus. Lord, hear our prayers. Please stop this deadly disease right now. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
