Books for the babes, blog for the Body!
Somehow, some way, we've all felt it. We've experienced it, either directly or indirectly. We have used and successfully walked away, or we are still using. Some of us can control the substances in our lives, many of us cannot. Many have recognized their struggle and have addressed it, many more have not. Still, we... Continue Reading →
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 →
Sometimes the world feels like it's spinning out of control. Sometimes my family is so busy we see each other only in passing. Our mighty God not only wants us to study and worship, he also wants us to rest. So I present to you today three simple answers to prayer. May they build your... Continue Reading →
As I looked through photographs and artwork trying to find the most appropriate image for the subject of my blog post, I found the one above and I couldn't scroll past it.

When I prayed asking the Lord to remove anything from my life that would keep me from growing closer to him, the answer sure didn't look like I thought it would.

There has been quite a bit of time since my last blog post. For this one, I had to make absolutely sure I had the Lord's permission to share it. I believe he gave me his approval because God wants to comfort his people regarding their loved ones who are nearing death. When I experienced... Continue Reading →
As I begin this post I want to start with a disclaimer: I am not a dream interpreter. I have, however, received several dreams from my Lord since the first one in 2017. I have listened to godly men and women who studied the Bible and were given the gift of interpreting dreams. Through their... Continue Reading →
When I was in high school I loved to write! Many of my scribblings were lost through the years, but a few of my favorites I held onto. As so often happens, life got busy and my writing notebook got stowed away with pictures and certificates and newspaper clippings. Recently I rediscovered this poem I... Continue Reading →
