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! In light of the recent celebration of Father’s Day, I thought it would be interesting to discuss what I consider the difference between fathers and dads. Hopefully, we’ve had good experiences with the patriarchs of our families. However, I know too well that this is not the case for many. It’s such a disappointment that […]

As we march through Holy Week to Easter Sunday, it occurs to me that our lives are aptly named a journey – just like the path Jesus took to the cross. Each day of Jesus’s life led him to the day he saved the world. For God so loved the world, that he gave his […]

Change is a’comin’! I know it, I feel it and I have failed to prepare for it. (If the act of thinking prepares oneself for the future, than I should be the most prepared person in the world. But, I’m pretty sure preparation takes action). Argh! “The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, […]

It is the one time of the year when everyone gathers together to romp and rip through my parent’s house. We […]
