Finding Sense

As a 46 year n old person, I can tell you things I grew up understanding as normal are not that way anymore. I was comfortable with news coming from objective, heroic journalists not actors pushing a narrative of lies. Politicians were for the people not for themselves. Judges actually ruled on cases based upon […]

Imagine Being Encouraged

Imagine being an encouraged in your dreams and aspirations! Consider how much you would be able to do for God and others! I have often wondered if I had married a man who encouraged me instead of constantly criticized me would I have been a great woman of God? What I did not know until […]

School Prayer

We homeschool so not much is different for school for us, except our extra-curricular activities are less prominent. But my son will be working harder because he starts high school and I have him set up for honors classes to get those scholarships later. I am excited and it will be good to get to […]

Christians: The Get Everything You Want Myth

I am tired of hearing this misleading garbage that as Christians, whatever we want- fame, syccess, glory, finances, healing, relational bliss, whatever it is this minute- is at our beck and call. Just believe it and it’s yours. You too can get what you want if you believe hard enough, ask with enough passion, do […]

Doesn’t Get Easier, Gets Different/ Painful Lessons

Personality Challenges

My personality is big. People know when I am there. It is literally impossible for me to keep quiet without the help of the Holy Spirit. My laugh is distinctive and loud and people know me by my laugh. I am equally choleric (the boss) and sanguine (the fun life of the party), as far […]

Washing Houses

Don’t just wash the outside of your house. The inside needs attention too. Evaluate objectively what may need a good ousting or clean and do it. The outside is important but the inside much moreso. Though people see the outside, the Holy Spirit lives on the inside. So much better to impress God than people.❤

Your Creator

It is not your past or even moments of greatness or loss that define you to God. He cares that when He looks at you, He sees Jesus there or He doesn’t. That is what matters most. Are you covered in salvation by the sacrifice of Jesus, adopted into His family, purified from ugly sin […]

Unknown Calls

I do not answer “unknown calls”. To me, if you want me to talk to you, you tell me who you are. If you want a relationship of any kind, you have to start off and remain truthful. The moment a lie or secret steps even past the door, much less strolls in, I am […]

Stories of Our Lives

My life would be a great motivational book about hope and meaningful people and the Lord all through it, and I daresay everyone’s story would be a great read. I love hearing people’s stories. It is truly beautiful to see someone else God made and how their choices took them here or there and how […]
