Recently, I was blessed to watch God provide for a family member. This unit was putting faith in Him, making the best decisions they knew how, and asking for His guidance with many variables along the way. And, as always, God came through. As my loved ones marveled at what God did, I encouraged, “write…

With Humility and Honesty
How do you feel on vacation? Recently, hubby and I found ourselves in our nation’s capital for the week leading up to Independence Day. We decided to download an app to use the public transportation system. We were determined to navigate as a local. But we are not used to city life! We made…
Freedom to Choose
“Which do you want to wear?” I held two preselected outfits for my preschool diva to choose. She would study them both and then pick one. My morning would go better and faster if I narrowed down the selection. She would happily choose what she would wear that day. God gives you and me many…
Carry Him to Jesus
How far would you go to ensure a friend found Jesus? We read in Mark 2 that four friends were determined to carry a lame friend to Jesus. The friend was carried on a blanket or mat between them. Imagine the friends telling him they knew a man who could help- finally! He just had…

The snake slithered up to her and challenged her mindset. He fed her half-truths but worse, engaged her mind and held her captive beside him while he carefully crafted a concoction of confusion.

They’ve witnessed me go to bat for them. When one needed a medical appointment and we got the run-around for a few…
Remembering Who I Represent
“Do this in remembrance of me.” Luke 22:19b When I was a young teen, I had a very important person in my life: my great-grandmother. She was this lovely, petite lady who barely approached my chin as I held her arm on the way into church. She had long white hair she always wore up…
Help Me Move Out of the Way
Years ago, I started a new job requiring significant technical knowledge of a specific software. I had never used it before and had a lot to learn! What I did know was something a bit similar, but I found over and over again that other knowledge mostly hindered my progress of learning the new program. The…
Peaceful Preparation
Black Friday! The holiday season is in full swing! Christmas is coming! Christmas is coming. Does the thought of the approaching holidays increase your blood pressure? So much to plan. To do. Trying to keep everyone content, all the while maintaining the reason for the season? Maybe you, like me, have to fight a feeling…
