This has just been one of those seasons where it has been one thing after another. With each challenge that has presented itself, I have been able to hand it over to God and trust…..mostly. There is still that little part of me that has found it easy to trust because I have mentally assessed … More When It is Not Well with Your Soul
Have you ever looked at a river? I mean really looked at one…its nature, its flow, its changeability yet still remaining the same? Rivers overflow, meander peacefully, rush down in white water rapids, pool deeply, wear mighty boulders down to pebbles, while gently feeding tremendous trees, providing a wonderfully nourishing environment for plants and wildlife. … More Peace Like a River
The Parable of the Talents “For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted to them his property. To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he … More Spending Ourselves
I made the decision to follow Christ 30 years ago this month. I was 9 years old at the time. I wasn’t forced. It wasn’t shoved down my throat. I wasn’t scared into it. It happened as I was being read the story of the crucifixion of Christ. There came a point that I just … More Choosing Sides

We now know that our brains are much more plastic, malleable, able to be molded and changed than we ever knew was possible before, even at advanced ages. God spoke to me … More Hope for the Helpless
What if, just what if the mountain that you’ve spoken to, IN FAITH, still doesn’t move? What you’re standing in front a body of water that you can’t seem to cross….you step out….and fall right in? What if the giant you’ve been fighting JUST WON’T FALL? What if you’ve been praying and asking for healing … More What If
I am going to say something that is meant to be encouraging but will not seem as such at first: you will never be good enough for God’s love. You can never be or do anything to deserve it. We are all flawed, imperfect, and totally incapable of fixing ourselves. And His love is so … More Perfect Love
This blog was originally posted via That Girl This is going to be a quick read. I’ve had very little time for writing. Mostly because I’ve had very little head space to have any thoughts other than work and school.
