Who do you turn to when life gets hard? I am so grateful for friends and family who listen to my struggles, offer guidance, and pray with me. They are a great source of comfort. I am ashamed to say that for too much of my life, I overlooked the most important source for life-changing … Continue reading Our Eyes are on You
I was at a conference in Dallas this summer and attended a presentation titled “Spiritually Leading Children at Home – Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly” led by Dr. Richard Ross. He is an incredible speaker who weaves humor in with the serious while challenging his audience to deepen their spiritual lives. You definitely should look … Continue reading No Matter What They Face
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. As I was scrolling through my Facebook feed … Continue reading What Does It Matter?
One year for Christmas, my grandfather built me a beautiful two-story Barbie doll house. I would spend hours playing with it. I loved to make “books” for my Barbies. I wasn’t allowed to have scissors, so I would fold a sheet of paper over and over until it created a crease that I could gently … Continue reading A Dream Comes True And It’s Oh So Bittersweet
There are so many scriptures about prayer that I cling to.

He has not always said yes, but He has answered every … Continue reading God Answers My Prayers (Part 1)
Have you found yourself calling out to God during this pandemic? Are you wondering if He is listening? He is. If God says He will do something, He will.
