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! Some days just don’t turn out like you think they should. Today is one of those days. I have a very sick boy who has the flu and is having an asthma attack every time I turn around. Pretty scary stuff. The worst part is that this kiddo is just like his momma when she […]

I have had a revelation. Now, before I delve into the depth and width of this revelation, let’s define what I mean. Webster’s New World Dictionary describes revelation as 1) a revealing, 2) something disclosed, and 3) God’s disclosure to humanity of himself. (Love No. 3)! As you can see by the definition, a revelation […]

I think the instruction manual was lost in the births of my two children. They both came into this world without a handbook on good parenting. Pregnancy was difficult enough…now I’ve got to know what to do with these little ones? WHAT?!?!?! How in the world am I supposed to know how to train, teach, […]

Easter is much more than bunnies, baskets, colorful eggs and chocolate candies! Sure those M&M’s and Peeps are excellent to savor on Sunday morning, but the true meaning of Easter is Jesus Christ’s defeat of DEATH! The delectableness of the candy cannot compare to the sweetness of the sacrifice made by our Savior, Jesus Christ. […]

God works in mysterious ways…. I have heard this mantra my entire life. Most of the time it is said when something terrible or unexplainable happens and the onlookers are at a loss of what to say to the victim. Basically, it’s said when we don’t know the why, the how and the what for. […]

Recently, I tried to read The Girl with a Dragon Tattoo. I got bored with all of the character details within the first 70 pages and set it down to wait for the movie. My husband, Lee, then picked it up and read the whole book while giving me a play-by-play of the events as […]

O-B-E-D-I-E-N-C-E. Just the word ‘obedience’ sounds like a drag. And I bet it makes you think of giving up something you like, but know is not good for you. Or that you’ll be lacking in the fun area of life. Sure sounds like that to me! Hold on a second! As a parent, don’t I […]

Today’s topic is very personal to me. I have a dear sister whom I’ve watched struggle with depression for several years. She is one of the strongest women I know, but this debilitating illness can put her in bed for weeks and make it nearly impossible to live a productive life. Some of us have […]
