Driving south on I-25, the mountains were wrapped in haze. It created a mirage that had me questioning if I needed to get my eyes checked again. The layered mountains had a depth that made it look like they were moving as I traveled towards them. When I got to my destination my husband, who... Continue Reading →
I remember the first time someone told me that I had low self-esteem. I was sitting in my pastor’s office with my spouse. I didn’t want to be there, I was hurt. I wanted out, out of the room, out of the marriage, out of the moment. I wasn’t there to hear about m; I... Continue Reading →

When we headed to Colorado for the weekend, the weather forecast was not in our favor. Raining and cold. My husband was planning to go gold prospecting, so neither were thing we wanted. We almost changed our plans after hearing the forecast. Low in the 30s and high in the 50s, my husband knows I... Continue Reading →
“shouting: “BLESSED IS THE KING WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD; Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples.” But Jesus answered, “I tell you, if these become silent, the stones will cry out!”” Luke 19:38-40 Before me...

Twenty seven years ago today I said “I do.” . Despite having spent most of three years with him, I had spent the four months prior to “I do” running from that relationship. Broken, I was young and honestly jumped into the marriage. It might have been the worst and best decision of my life.... Continue Reading →
