It is “that” time of year again. It is the time of year when many people take inventory of the previous year, prepare a plan, outline goals for the year ahead, and resolve to make this the year that they stop letting that thing that has been holding them back hold them back. How do…
Spiritual Warfare or Divine Discipline…
This topic can be tricky. Spiritual warfare: demons, evil spirits, temptations designed to pull us into the darkness, and Satan can all feel a little hinky. Even as Christians, there is a spectrum of beliefs on the subject. Some of us would rather not acknowledge or dwell on things like unseen evil forces, and others…
The Father We Have in God…
First, I must apologize for the delay in getting this month’s Blog out. The worst thing about having kids 16 months apart is that they go through the two worst sleep regressions at the same time, the dreaded 4-month and 18-month – 2-year regressions. I am so tired! Needless to say, turning my study notes…
This One Is For The Mommas…
If you are a new mom, this one is for you. If you are a seasoned mom, this one is for you. If you are a grandmother, this one is for you. If you are a mom that never got to hold her baby, this one is for you. If you are a mom that…

Trusting when you can’t see…
Trust Issues… Trust is a squishy subject for me. I would love to say I freely give trust without hesitation from the moment I meet someone. That as relationships develop and inevitable selfish acts of recklessness occur, I can see past the current wounding and extend grace. Unfortunately, that has not been historically accurate. I…
When Hope is a Burden…
Have you ever felt that hope was a burden too heavy to carry? I was studying women of the Bible when this idea first surfaced in my mind. My first thought was how awful it must be to be in a place where hope is nothing more than an imminent disappointment. Then, I took a…
Happy New Year!
Resolutions and Goal Setting January 1st! Do you know what that means? Resolution time! Who loves New Year’s Resolutions? I bet everyone that said “yes!” also loves goal setting and vigilantly maintains daily To-Do lists. Do not worry, this is a safe place. I like lists too. I even see the value in goal setting….
The Who and What…
Who am I and what am I about… I am certain this will be the hardest post I will ever write. Primarily because, I have never been a fan of the neatly packaged, “this is me”, introduction phase of relationships. In fact, I have written no less than four drafts already. Here is to lucky…
