Life can feel so unfair at times. And if we’re not careful to put those things in their proper place, into the Hands that hold us together when we are about to fall apart, we can mistakenly get distracted by wayward thoughts and go off a deep end. There’s no explaining the ‘whys’ of infertility, […]
Looking in the rearview mirror at the roads traveled during the early days when my children were younger, I can utter under my breath the familiar, “If I only knew then, what I know today …” And not to say that I fully wrap my arms around a lifetime of should haves, could haves or […]
When my children were growing up and I was managing an “outside of the home paid job” (some of y’all will be able to relate to how I just described that), life was shall we say, often a tad bit chaotic — but in a productive way. Yes, the dishes sat in the sink a […]
Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him. Psalm 127:3 NLT Many of us have vivid memories of those early pregnancy days. Being pregnant was a time of great … well, expectation (yes, pun intended). No matter how long ago it may have been, we can still retrieve those moments during that […]

Proverbs 27:9 The Passion Translation True friends are a rare find … I get it. The older I get, I’m finding that life takes us all in different […]
Death is inevitable. Pain feels insurmountable. Grief is survivable I know. It sounds counterintuitive to everything we know. We use words like, “I would never survive that.” Or maybe, “I can’t live without you.” Tossed flippantly, we coast through life without much regard or awareness of life. That is until we are faced with a […]
For you were called to be free, brothers and sisters; only don’t use this freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but serve one another through love. Galatians 5:13 CSB One quote that has stuck with me for several years now is “Our lives were never meant to be our own”. I believe we are […]
When I think of a servant’s heart, one name comes to mind. Jackie. I first met Jackie at the school that our children attended. We had two children in the same grade levels and together we have been through it all. From room moms to volunteer moms to bleacher sitting moms, Jackie and I have […]
