I stand on my belief in what God can do! Nevertheless, I still tell God that I’m not good enough. I tell him someone else could do that better… I’m not qualified. I don’t have enough experience. I just don’t think I’ll have the time……. Can anyone else relate?

What’s your title? I began thinking about this question after praying for someone and praying the truth, “She was yours first!” I prayed this short sentence over and over as God started revealing to me a timeline of my own life. I’d like to paint this picture for you. On January 28, 1995, I had … Continue reading I Was HIS First

We’ve all heard someone say that we tend to “treat God like a pill bottle”, meaning that we only go to him when we have an ailment or a problem we can’t solve.

No matter what "it" is, the point is the same....we often find ourselves blaming some invisible force for the decisions we … Continue reading Compromise

Many women today have trouble with seeing themselves as being anything particularly special. We go through our day to day lives without really thinking about it much at all (or at least we think we do). We get up in the morning, get ready for our day. Most of us use a mirror every morning … Continue reading Chosen

Waiting. . . A word defined by Merriam Webster’s dictionary as “to remain stationary in readiness or expectation”. Every single day, we wait. We wait for traffic lights, or for the oven to preheat. We wait for the server at a restaurant, or for our husbands to return home from work. With kids, we may … Continue reading Waiting

The divide in the room was loud even though a word was not spoken. How can two people who stood in front of each other and committed to love each other through good and bad get to the point where the odds seem so stacked against them? Growing up, we learn how to communicate and to ask … Continue reading The Divide in the Room

Do you ever feel like you are just going through the motions of your daily routine? Just doing what you have to do, trying to close off your emotions, focus on your daily tasks, and just get through the day?
