TPOD #7: Your Resistance Genome I read the prompt this morning, and decided I wasn't ready to conquer my resistance genome. I set my phone down, rolled over, put the blanket over my head and went back to sleep. Of course, the prompt was still there three hours later, and being a task oriented person... Continue Reading →
POD #6: Your Royal Highness: There was a time in my life that I thought I was the crowned queen of the world. It was a fantasy world that many of the members allowed me to fill. Yes, my world was small, but I believed that it revolved around me. When I became a mother,... Continue Reading →
POD #3: Third Time’s a Wrap A few years back I found myself telling a story of my life, it was for a good cause. I knew it was a story woven to raise money and that it could tug at the heart-strings of even Scrooge. It was my story to tell, and could be... Continue Reading →
We often compare our life to the highlight reels of others' lives. When I was younger it was television and magazines in addition to our circle of friends or classmates. Now social media has us comparing to just about everyone with instant and constant access. Everyone has struggles, battles they fight, and a process the walk... Continue Reading →
There are so many Kingdom principles that don't make sense, and yet work. God can do more through a moment of obedience, than we can do in a lifetime of professional work.

He... Continue Reading →
The ornaments are packed away. The lights are taken down. The tree placed back in the box, awaiting a trip to the attic. Yet tonight, visions of a Christmas tree ran through my head. The tree was perfect and full, tall and stately. The evergreen needles full of color. I watched as clear white lights... Continue Reading →
I remember being told that I was insecure. I was shocked when the words left my pastor's lips. I was sitting there beside my husband in marriage counseling. It was a challenge to this confident appearing lion personality. It took some self-reflection to see it wasn't a judgement on my pastor's part, it was discernment from God... Continue Reading →
God came to save me, even when I didn't trust in Him. The first was at Calvary where He paid for my sins. For this one I am most grateful, for all trust in Him was born out of His love for me. If I hadn't learned of His love, I probably would not have... Continue Reading →
