Books for the babes, blog for the Body!
What once discouraged me now excites me! Conversations that were once a stumbling block for me, have now become an exciting opportunity. I was raised in a very legalistic denomination. I had friends that were from other denominations, but when I asked questions about what they believed and why, I became confused. Many of them... Continue Reading →
At times, my children have asked how I know our heavenly Father has spoken to me. They've asked me how he has given messages. Our Lord has expressed himself through a timely song on a radio, or through a comment someone made that I knew deep inside of my spirit was from him. Often when... Continue Reading →

This blog isn't about the trials in my life; it isn't even about me. What our heavenly Father has done for me, and in me, during the hard times has left this part of my life like a treasure trove of priceless gems. I once joked with my friends that the learning curve God had... Continue Reading →
In the book of Acts Jesus tells the disciples to wait until they receive power from on high (Acts 1:4). They obeyed, not sure what they were waiting for, or what it would look like. A while later they heard a sound like a mighty wind, and saw what looked like tongues of fire on... Continue Reading →
