"To love another person is to see the face of God." -Victor Hugo, Les Miserables If you know me well, you know that Les Mis is one of my most favorite stories, so much so that we named our daughter Cosette. It's a beautiful story of redemption woven through many people's lives. How they hurt [...]

God IS working ALL things together for your GOOD!
I truly believe it when the Word says that God is working ALL THINGS together for your GOOD! Yes, even with that painful situation you may be going through right now that you cannot see how that could be possible. None of us are immune to challenging times. But He has made a way for [...]
Your Spouse is Not Your Enemy
Ever find yourself in a difficult season in your marriage? It can be so tempting to see your spouse as your enemy! But you must consistently remind yourself of who the real enemy is and remember that you and your spouse are a team against Satan and his schemes of division! And more importantly, remind [...]
Having Compassion for Your Spouse’s Inabilities
Part of marriage (or any relationship for that matter) is understanding that your spouse is not always going to be running at full capacity. Life hits us each a little differently and usually when one of you is weak, the other is strong. But sometimes both of you will be feeling weak, and that's ok, [...]
Curiosity is My New Favorite Emotion!
Curiosity is becoming my new FAVORITE emotion! It’s such a mindset SHIFTER because it immediately takes the focus off of YOU & puts it on the other person! Your brain begins to ask questions like, “I wonder what’s going on with them?” And, “I wonder what they must be feeling to make them say that [...]

Happy Wife, Happy Life…Really?
I'm sure you've heard these common phrases, "HAPPY WIFE, HAPPY LIFE" & "If Mama ain't happy, nobody's happy." But I've been thinking about why such phrases irk me a bit and really seem like a myth. And in all honesty, downright selfish. I'm as guilty as the next wife/mama in times past making everyone in [...]
Don’t Give Up! God Will Fight For Your Marriage!
30 years ago today, Valentine's Day, we had our first date. 3 years ago the enemy tried to steal him away from me. Did you know we have an enemy in this life? He hates strong marriages and detests healthy families. Insecurity, confusion, and division, all stem from fear. It's the only card he's got. [...]
People Heal When They Are Heard
People start to heal the moment they feel heard! This perfectly describes the sacred work of a life coach. Creating a safe place where someone can get out all of the thoughts that have them feeling stuck, without judgment or shame and begin to untangle them and thus take the power away from those thoughts [...]
When You Tell Yourself You’re Not Interested in SEX
I showed my husband the title of this new post and his response was “What? Why would you ever tell yourself that? God created us to want sex.” But, I’m sure you’ve been there, Sis. I have, too. Because we all have human brains that try to convince us of things that are just not [...]
