Fractures Can Heal to Become Stronger Than Ever
When my daughter was a teenager, the day before starting her freshman year of high school, she fractured her femur while playing on a trampoline in our neighbor's yard. It was also right before she was start dance lessons, which was a dream she was finally ready to fulfill. After a long night in the [...]
Faith Operates By Saying!
Jesus spoke to the wind and waves! We, too, are going to have to speak to EVERY SINGLE THING that is out of place in our lives! Faith comes by hearing, but it does not operate by hearing, it operates by SAYING!!! In other words, your miracle is in your mouth! Take some time each [...]
Am I a Fraud?
Am I a fraud? Has this question ever buzzed around your head like it has mine? Has that old spirit of condemnation tried to sink its teeth into you, too? This question has often tried to sidetrack me into doing nothing. Feeling unusable, thus drawing back into complacency. Can I still lay hands on others [...]

When we hold onto unforgiveness we allow its bitterness to poison our own hearts and make us feel sick. But when we choose to forgive or to release [...]
The Path is BRIGHT!
Been thinking about this post for weeks now...not able to completely articulate what's stirring in my heart yet. For me, 2020 was a year filled with much pain, confusion, loss, heartache, anxiety, uncertainty, and revelation. And yet, I have felt the love of the Father like never before. His path is not always the easy [...]
Seek First to Understand
I truly love this quote. This is simply a practical application of the Biblical concept of 'preferring one another'. If we strive for this mindset in our approach to every relationship, it can be a win-win where neither person feels the need to act offensive or defensive. We can trust that the other person is [...]

Some are wives, some are sisters, some are caregivers, some are moms, some stay at home to care for their families, some work at home while simultaneously caring for their children, some work outside the home and must balance caring for their children during the early [...]
