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! So many times we try to make life more complicated than it is. Why is that? Some of my examples include the fact that I’ve been saying for years that I want my kids to grow up with a servant’s heart, but I’ve done nothing to make this happen. I’ve prayed for wisdom, but refused […]

Have you ever had a moment where a realization hurt your heart because you recognized how much you really stink at living like Jesus? This happened to me on Sunday listening to a sermon on Sinners, Outcasts and the Poor. I think we can all agree that helping the poor is a good thing to […]

Our actions speak volumes about who we really are from the inside out. What do your actions say about you? Unfortunately, my behavior reveals that I am struggling with an identity crisis. Sigh. There is nothing worse than wanting to make the right choices, but find that you make the wrong ones on a regular […]

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 […]

One of my dearest friends has been through the wringer over the past month and it’s been absolutely heartbreaking to watch. The poor thing has had problem after problem and she just can’t seem to catch a break (insert sad face and hear my boo’s)! Needless to say, it was not by ‘coincidence’ that I […]

Life is like a roller coaster…sometimes it’s uphill and sometimes it’s downhill and I’m really not sure which one is better!! (Neither one sound like that much fun, do they?) Traveling all of those hills can get exhausting. Trampling up or down can sometimes become too painful. Sometimes the stresses seem too overwhelming and the […]

Is it summertime, yet? I seem to be getting antsy for the lazy days of summer, vacationing with friends and family, reading some good books and resting from the hectic schedule of everyday life. What’s funny is that as I’m looking at my list of items to do over the summer…the calendar looks as busy […]

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. […]
