Recently as I worked on writing my book scheduled to be released in September 2015, I was reflecting on the influence that church has played in my life. No, it hasn’t all been perfect. As my pastor reminded us on Sunday, the church is not really the building; the church is…
Divorce hurts. I don’t have to tell you that if you’ve been through it or know someone who has. Perhaps you’ve been affected by divorce because a loved one or family member who struggled through their marriage and legally ended it. Maybe you’ve suffered through it yourself. As I write…
Happy Monday! I pray that you are having a good week and have been able to take time to spend in God’s Word. I can hardly believe that we are already to the Bible reading challenge check-in again this week! Last Monday I decided to make a Bible purchase. I’ve…

This week I’m continuing the Lessons in Hope series: What I learned in Kenya. I should forewarn you that I know I’m going to cry as I type out the post. So you can go ahead and grab a tissue now if you’d like. The Lord had very specific plans for…
Last week a couple of my friends got together for a rare girl’s night chat. We had such a great time catching up with one another and although each of us was tired when we arrived, we were all so glad that we made the time in this busy season of…
