What if We Could Figure This Out Together?
Sometimes we've lived in survival mode for so long, that we can't even begin to picture that our life could be different. That we COULD FEEL BETTER. That we COULD HAVE MORE, BE MORE, ENJOY MORE.

I WILL Give Thanks
Is it possible to be GRATEFUL and DISAPPOINTED at the same time? Is it possible to feel THANKFUL and SAD? Sure it is. We are complex beings with complex inner workings created by a magnificent God. On a day like Thanksgiving you may be tempted to feel shame if you are not all exuberant with [...]
JOY is God’s Powerful Prescription for You!
Ever been at a hard place in your life and felt guilty for momentarily feeling joy and happiness because of this one huge thing you are still grieving? Me, too. To be honest, some days I'm still there. And you know what? That's okay. Grief often comes in waves and when they no longer hit [...]
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 [...]
