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! Every year on June 25th, I can’t help but mourn the death of my dear friend’s sweet little girl. Ten years ago, today, three-year-old Katie died in a drowning incident that left us all stunned, heartbroken, grief-stricken and questioning why bad things happen to good people. It’s an age-old question that we, humans, are clearly […]

“Where did God come from?” asked my sweet, eight-year-old Jake this past Sunday morning. Duh. Okay, now let’s be clear. I read scripture, I write devotionals, but I am in NO way a theologian or some Biblical scholar. Therefore, my answer was, “I haven’t a clue, but we can ask Him when we die.” Jake […]

Hearing the word “terminal” come from a doctor’s mouth is devastating and frightening. It means the end is near and we’ve run out of time. It means there are no second chances. YUCK! In our humanness, we seem to think we will escape death. Each of us trudge through the days as if we have […]

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. […]
