Lately I have read several book that asked the question "What lie have you believed?" Most of the lies I have seen or thought have long been dispelled in my life. But reading Captivating by John and Stasi Eldridge, the answer was there in black in white. Starring up at me was the reality of... Continue Reading →
The past week has been an emotional one. It started with my son moving almost 1,000 miles away. He is my first child to move away, and although I have peace about him going and am excited to see what adventures he will live out, it doesn't make the hurt in my heart less. He... Continue Reading →
As a child and teenager that felt like no one noticed me, I sought attention in any form. I lived for the shock factor. I have some crazy stories of things I did for attention. I was good at getting others to notice me, except the ones that I wanted attention from. However, through all... Continue Reading →

Psalms 23:2 NKJV He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. I am very much someone who likes to stay busy. In the... Continue Reading →
Surrender is an action verb (used with object) meaning to give (oneself) up, or to give (oneself) up to some influence, course, emotion, etc. Surrender is the hallmark of Christianity, and yet most of us really struggle with the idea of surrender, even though our walk with God started with it.

There are times I get it right, and other times I fail miserably.

I must admit the past few months have been anything but passionate. I haven't even done a great job of going through the motions. I know that Christ is in control and I have, even through this valley seen His faithfulness. I have seen His hand at work in my family. I love to hear... Continue Reading →
If I really evaluate my spiritual core, I would say my heart is strong, and my soul and mind are not that strong. I think it is easy for me to hide behind Christian behaviors in areas where ai am weak in the flesh. I hide myself with holy indignation because in the past I... Continue Reading →
