I was recently reminded of the power, even in its simplicity, of Mark 5:1. Prior to this season, I never saw the power in the verse. "So they arrived at the other side." It's amazing how we can re-read verses and they takes on another meaning depending on the season. This verse is simple yet … Continue reading The Other Side
Recently, we've been studying about Nehemiah and the work he had to accomplish. He had a wall to rebuild. One that according to human eye, could not be reconstructed. However, Nehemiah trusted God and made up his mind to do what God called him to do. Connections have always been important to me.

My belief is for the sake of our children and their … Continue reading Kids, Family & Expectations
For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest. A time to kill and a time to heal. A time to tear down and a time to build up. A time to … Continue reading For Everything, There Is A Season
On the 27th, I posted: We can focus on what we don't have or we can focus on what we do have. Life may not look the way we want, but we should love ourselves and appreciate the fact that we have been given one more day to get it together...one more day to make … Continue reading Thankful, Grateful & Truly Blessed
For years I coached my son's basketball team but recently transitioned to the sideline to focus on just being Mama & Team Mom.
