Encouraging Women to Passionately Pursue God
Have you ever excitedly shared a new-to-you Biblical revelation to have it brushed off? Have you pulled all-nighters ministering to teens at a lock-in to have them snooze through the devos? Have those you cared deeply about just not been interested in faith? When we witness to anyone, our words, attitudes and actions are like…
I assessed the eighteen-year-old young man before me. Adam was his name, He had met my seventeen-year-old daughter at a Christian conference the summer before. Although he lived over two hours away, he drove to our home almost every weekend to date our over-the-moon teenager. Now, he had found a job, a career, and was…
In my early thirties, I experienced a heart-wrenching diagnosis: stage 3 cancer. I needed four surgeries, five months of hard chemo, 28 radiation treatments, and a full year of IV drug therapy. Altogether, my treatment lasted over 15 months. But please don’t think, “poor her”. God was unbelievably gracious during that entire journey. Through that…
Recently, I was blessed to watch God provide for a family member.

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. Did God really say? Could He have meant…? Is that really true? While Eve saw a serpent seeding her second thoughts, our…
The message came through, quickening my pulse. Then I noticed I was not the sole recipient. This was a group message. Add embarrassment and pride to the emotions flowing through me. God, I need you! I knew I also could not address this issue right now. I knew I would respond from a place of…
That title sounds scandalous, doesn’t it? You might think I don’t value my kids highly enough or that maybe I’m self-centered. I think my three daughters (27, 23, and 18) would vehemently disagree.
