REDEMPTION STORY
I share so much of my life with you all in this blog. I decided it was time for you to meet my husband and hear our story.
DROP THE WEIGHT
Now that we are over a week into the new year, I think it is appropriate to address the topic on so many people’s minds: weight loss. Some of you may be finding your healthy resolutions are proving hard to keep: avoiding sugar, getting daily exercise, avoiding carbs, lifting weights three times a week, etc. Wouldn’t you like to find an easier […]
COVER ME
I had almost missed her soft whisper as I left her room: “Cover me, Mama.” The words gripped me as I pulled the blankets up to her chin. She gave me the words I have been trying to find to express the emotions stirring within me the past couple of weeks.
BELIEVE (CHRISTMAS VISIONS PART 5)
We were created to believe, and we are constantly searching for something worth our faith and trust.
Perhaps we are in search of a Christmas miracle to undo the damages of life.
