God Writes Your Friendships
I think Satan might have thought part of this week he was winning in knocking me down and defeating me, but today here I sit amazed at how God is tying everything together and instead of feeling alone and defeated I am realizing how much love I have in my life and it is all […]
Hope Unfolding: You are a Good Mom
I’m recently finished reading Hope Unfolding by Becky Thompson and I have found it to be interesting, relatable and entertaining to read. Nothing earth shattering. And then I started the last chapter. It starts with a message I think we all need to hear. “You are a good mom.” And since she knows you, she […]

Strengthen our marriage
We just finished Love and Respect with our marriage group in Ohio and we moved to California and the group we joined…they were doing it again. Luckily, they were near the end so we just hoped in for the last two months. It was amazing to me how quickly I forgot the great truths from […]
Open my Eyes
Open the eyes of my heart, Open the eyes of my heart Lord. I want to see you. When I saw the prompt word of Open that was what came to my mind right away. And as my mind drifted around the words that make up the song I wondered how many people truly mean […]
