Books for the babes, blog for the Body!
In high school I took two Spanish classes. I cannot say I learned to speak Spanish. I did, however, learn my teacher liked chocolate covered ants and she accidentally killed a baby bunny by warming it in the microwave after she found it in the snow one winter. I cannot meet a person in Mexico... Continue Reading →
Do you ever have one of those days where you start off walking tall with a spring in your step, and by the end of the day you're hunched over, and thinking "I'm getting too old for this"? I know this feeling all too well. In fact, when my ex-husband left us I think I... Continue Reading →
When I was first learning how to ride a horse, the instructor kept telling me to keep my eyes up. She'd call out, telling me to keep my eyes forward, keep them up, look in the direction I wanted the horse to go. This didn't make any sense to me. I thought the reins were... Continue Reading →
The Uyuni salt flat. Photographs of this geographic wonder are the closest I can get to portraying what I saw in a vision. Someday I'd like to go there, but I don't think it will be nearly as spectacular as the vision I was given. A sermon I'd heard once explained the gift of praying... Continue Reading →
This may seem like a long list of what I call victory verses. However, after reading this list is there any question about God's will for your life? He wants you to have victory!

The book of Psalms in the Bible is a collection of emotions from those who came before us. There are expressions of anger, praise, and heartbreak woven into the lines of beautiful poems.

However, his word says when we choose to follow Jesus, God adopts us as sons and daughters (Galatians 4:4-7). Therefore, in surrendering to Jesus as Lord and Savior, we become God's chosen people. Thus, these... Continue Reading →
You should know this is not an exhaustive list. One of the qualities I love about the Bible is that it's a fluid book. I love books! However, I have never read one like the Bible. I call it fluid because it is the only book I've read that can give me a different message... Continue Reading →
Many times growing up I heard the challenge, "Oh yeah? Prove it!" Society has taught us not to believe anything until we see concrete evidence supporting that belief. However, our Lord says in Isaiah 55:7-9, his ways and thoughts are higher than our own. God wants us to believe first, then we will see it.... Continue Reading →
At about two o’clock one morning I woke up, and felt the need to pray in the Spirit. There are prayers to God in our own language. Then, there are prayers to God in a heavenly language (1 Corinthians 12:4-11). I told of how I received my prayer language in a previous post, I Need... Continue Reading →
