God has been speaking to my heart for a while now about my value in His sight. I grew up in a household where, like many people, one had to earn love. Even then, when you believed you might have earned some, it could be quickly and completely withdrawn for any reason{or even no reason}, [...]
Forgiveness has been on my mind a lot lately–God’s forgiveness as it relates to our forgiveness of others and as it relates to our forgiveness of ourselves. The latter, in particular, because I find it much more difficult to forgive myself than others. I hold grudges against myself. I mentally beat myself up. Though I [...]

Although this is very much the normal routine for me, I was overwhelmed with a thought today while I sorted through the stinky socks and [...]
In my own life, there have been many things happen that have caused me to pause and take a look at my faith. James and I lost our first pregnancy on our 5 year anniversary and my family was told that my mamaw’s cancer hadn’t responded to the radiation and chemotherapy resulting in the unlikelihood [...]
I’m short. I’ve always been short. Not just short, but really short. I’ve heard all the jokes; I’ve heard all the songs. I’m even pretty sure that I’ve had all the nicknames associated with or eluding to my lack of verticalness. I have a stool to get around in my kitchen and I’ve learned to [...]
“We have a strong city; God makes salvation its walls and ramparts. Open the gates that the righteous nation may enter, the nation that keeps faith. You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord is the Rock [...]
