I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend! I desperately want to morph my life into a journey that glorifies God and makes Him proud. I am not a bible scholar, a pastor, a teacher or a person who is qualified to counsel or guide. However, God has given me the gift of gab and a talent to write, so I have decided to do what I do best to help others. I hope you will give me grace, as I'm sure I will make plenty of mistakes during this adventure! Have you ever found yourself at wits’ end? Have you felt so depleted and exhausted that you could sleep for years? Have you lacked the energy to do anything but cry out with a big “I can’t do this anymore” but know that you really have no choice but to move forward? YIKES! Where’s that […]

This coming weekend is my church’s “Consecration Sunday.” Your church may call it something different, but it basically comes down to the one Sunday of the year when the church asks each person in the congregation to pledge what they will give to the church for the upcoming year. This is all in an effort […]

Sometimes you win. Sometimes you lose. Regardless of any outcome, the ethics you use are up to you. Guess that means no back-stabbing, hair-pulling or screaming ‘you started it’!!! Grrrr….

My sisters and I have a saying, “We will praise Him: win or lose.” Kind of makes you think, doesn’t it?!?! This short sentence reminds us daily that no matter what happens during our life…God is ALWAYS in control, He loves us and He is our saving grace! Don’t get me wrong. This is not […]

The El Salvador mission story I blogged about on Tuesday really has had me thinking lately about what God really wants me to be doing. Not that I’m going to pack up and move to a far off land and build schools, hospitals and orphanages, but it does have me wondering what I bring to […]
