We know that God works to help those people who love him. He uses everything that happens to them to bring something good. He does this for those people that he has chosen to serve him. Romans 8:28 EASY If you would have told me that when I was a child, I probably would have […]

“When It Feels Like a Forever Desert”
I am lonely and troubled. Show that you care and have pity on me. My awful worries keep growing. Rescue me from sadness. I come to you for shelter. Protect me, keep me safe, and don’t disappoint me. I will obey you with all my heart, and trust you, knowing that you will save me. […]
“Fig Leaves Look Best On Trees”
Fig leaves are beautiful — they’re also rather large in comparison to other leaves. But in my estimation, not large enough to cover up parts of me (physically or emotionally). At that moment their eyes were opened, and they suddenly felt shame at their nakedness. So they sewed fig leaves together to cover themselves. Genesis […]
“The Weight Room or The Wait Room”
Strength training is proven to benefit the body in a multitude of ways. I know this to be true from personal experience. Those of you who know me personally are well aware of my familiarity around the weight room. I am a firm believer that GOD designed our bodies to be strong and healthy, and […]
“When God Calls”
Connecting with people has taken on a new meaning these days — there are just too many options available … My mind wanders what would have happened if Noah had set the “out-of-office” greeting when GOD called upon him to start building the ark for him and his family to receive protection from GOD during […]
“Expect the Unexpected”
It was a warm autumn day when I sat outside of our office suite, savoring my chimichanga del mar for lunch — my fave craving during this latent phase of my pregnancy — when I looked up into that blue sky and asked GOD what He wanted me to do after this third baby was […]
“The Big Reveal”
Confidence — some of us wrestle with that well into our adult years. I’ve always admired a woman who can enter a room and hold her head up and make that statement about who she is. In fact, her posture alone resembles that grammatical punctuation — the exclamation point — upright and stately. Whether your […]
“She Said, ‘Yes'”
In the most recent of days, I have marveled at what enormous energy it takes to convince a toddler to do what you want them to do. To encourage her to cooperate and follow-through on a request can be … well, exasperating. Obviously her understanding of a win-win situation is very different from mine. Maybe […]
“Repurposed”
As I recall, the movement to recycle used material became very popular in the 70’s. After soda and beer manufacturers made the change from tin to aluminum cans, suddenly we were in the business of collecting all of these cans and responsible for taking them to a recycling (or redemption) center to have them repurposed […]
“Decisions”
Roll your works upon the Lord [commit and trust then wholly to Him; He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will, and] so shall your plans be established and succeed. Proverbs 16:3 AMPC We make decisions every waking moment of every day. But there are some that just exhaust the life out […]
