Life takes so many twists and turns, doesn’t it? Things don’t always happen as we plan or dream or wish. When you’re in the middle of your story being turned upside down and rewritten? So difficult. Today I wanted to encourage you through this poem my husband wrote for me. I…
I’m so excited to share with you today! For weeks, I’ve been trying to think of what I could give to you, my readers, for Christmas. I really wanted it to be a gift to show you how thankful I am for your faithful prayer and support. But I also…
Yesterday thoughts of the week ahead began to stir my soul. The older I’ve gotten (don’t ask!), the more I’ve seen Thanksgiving have less limelight. The focus of all retail is Black Friday. I don’t think our forefathers ever imagined that the day they set aside to give thanks would be…

A few months ago, I shared with you a story of getting lost in my own basement. Only I wasn’t completely lost, I just found myself engrossed in an old box of journals I’d forgotten about for awhile. One of the coolest discoveries that I made by pausing to read…
When Discouragement Strikes You had a feeling it was coming, but tried to hope for the best. In spite of your hopes and prayers though, discouragement didn’t just come knocking. No, she barreled down the front door and made herself right at home in your living room. Oh, I don’t…
One More Step– it’s almost here!! At dinner today, I told the kids “Mommy’s book will be in the bookstores on Tuesday.” Tessa, my 4 year old, just stared at me and asked for corn. My husband said “Hallelujah!” His funny way of being thankful for many reasons. There’s a lot…
