Will you be trick or treating this year? Leave… Continue reading Crossing into Fall

Pain
There is no question that divorce is painful. It's the pulling apart of two souls. I look at my soon to be ex-husband and I'm sad. I mourn over the loss of future memories. I mourn over the pain I have felt the last seventeen years. I wonder why some people are blessed with amazing… Continue reading Pain

Be Brave
At the end of every year, I pray about a word for next year. Through scripture and prayer, I find a word that speaks to my soul. I seek a word that when I pray about it I feel a stirring in my spirit. Sometimes, the word makes sense, but more often I'm surprised by… Continue reading Be Brave

By now, you've walked with Jesus and sang with the angels. You've talked to Noah and discussed life with Peter. Have you moved into your mansion yet?… Continue reading Remembering

Year in Review
I started the year with the word, FORWARD. After much prayer, I felt like that was the word God gave me and I embraced it anxious to see how God would use it. For years, I had worked on a story by re-writing it several times. It was the story of my heart. I was… Continue reading Year in Review

Today while watching episode 2 of their new series a man said, "I don't want to be remembered. I didn't achieve my dream." If I could tell him one thing,… Continue reading Will you be Remembered?
