The promise of Heaven is on my heart today as I mourn the loss of 21 precious lives in Uvalde, Texas. Twenty-one families who are crushed, broken, shattered.

A few weeks ago, my husband was gone on a business trip. As soon as I started getting ready for school, Myka became so sad. She walked around the house with her head down.

The same questions get asked so often that we have an acronym for it – FAQ. We question our children’s … Continue reading Questioning God
In his book, Through the Eyes of a Lion, Levi Lusko calls grief an endurance sport. Nothing could be more accurate. I have run many sprints during my earthly life - the challenges of finishing school and graduating, the hunt for a job, the break-ups, financial struggles, illnesses, recovery from a surgery.

For the last several days, I have been trying to decide where to go with today’s post. What could I write that would encourage and inspire others to continue to reflect on their word of their year and continue to seek opportunities to grow in that area.

Have you ever come across a scripture that you know you have read a million times, and this time it's different, it hits you, hard, and you realize that you get it?
