There are events in our lives that make it feel as though we are having to start over. This could be anything from a fitness journey, a failed marriage, a new job, taking a course again, or even just picking up an old hobby again. Honestly, the list could go on for days. For instance, … Continue reading Starting Over

Embrace the difference
I'm assuming we've all heard the saying "tom-A-toe tom-ah-toe" before. Where two people say the same word differently but in the end, the way it is said changes nothing about the object itself. In our world today we have many different cultures and in those cultures you're finding more and more diversity being accepted. I … Continue reading Embrace the difference
Admit it
When's the last time you got real with God? I was talking to Him today and I said, you know what, I'm sorry my prayer life has been lacking (and by this I mean like my prayer closet time with Him). I said, you know, I could sit here and name all kinds of excuses … Continue reading Admit it

Why does it mean so much to hear someone encourage us? On the other hand, why does it hurt so bad when someone does the opposite and discourages us? I'm going to speak from personal experience here so I am by no means saying I have out figured out. When I was being lead to … Continue reading 3 Hours
You never know
"Go tell that girl, she has worth." "Go tell that guy who poured his heart out during worship that his works are not unseen." "Do life with this one because the potential they don't know they have is going to go unseen unless you do." In the movie Hortan hears a Whoo, Hortan (a … Continue reading You never know

Everything I owned, from the clothes I wore, to the cars I drove represented the … Continue reading Who’s first?
You may never know
Recently I took my faith to a new level, I began asking God to order my steps. In others words I was asking Him to guide my every second, like the "Blanca" song says... (If you say go, I'm not gonna wait. If you say move, I won't hesitate.) It's in my heart for this … Continue reading You may never know
This seems small…
I am constantly learning things from our children. I find that while teaching them how to handle life's uncertainties, I also find healing myself. If I can take their scenerio and find something similar in my life to apply it to; I will, and I do... often. Our morning got off to a rocky start. … Continue reading This seems small…
Gift the Gift
I had an opportunity to serve at an event that regularly sets up box trucks and goes to one of the dangerous counties in the state and feeds, clothes, encourages, and shows the love of Jesus to them. I caught myself standing back just watching everyone and I found myself with a constant smile on … Continue reading Gift the Gift

A few days passed and I began trying to clean the stain. I presoaked, brushed, scrubbed, dabbed it with cloth, soaked it again, scrubbed, brushed, … Continue reading Carpet Stain
