“Truly, I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it […]
When God has made big moves in my life, I am usually resisting Him. I like to keep things as is. I like predictability. I like to stay put. I don’t like the unknown. Do you? But just because we are wrestling with God does that mean we aren’t trusting Him? I think it can, […]
My tables got delivered damaged. With excitement, I waited and waited for my new kitchen table and my new dining room table to be delivered. I’ve never had a formal dining room so, I was like a kid getting their first bike on delivery day. As the table was placed in my empty dining room […]
I grew up with a dad who was an atheist. He still is actually. Growing up with no faith caused much angst for me as kid. My mom used to say this prayer with me, maybe you’ve heard it… “Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If […]
We just bought and moved into our dream house. It’s a home my husband and I thought we’d never have. When we purchased our home in California, we thought it was our beginner-fixer upper-home, and it became what we thought was our forever-home after our fixes and renovations.

A better area. A better house. A better life. A better [you fill in the blank]. I loved my life and […]
‘“When you wake up in the morning, Pooh,’ said Piglet at last, ‘What’s the first thing you say to yourself?’ ‘What’s for breakfast?’ said Pooh. ‘What do you say, Piglet?’ ‘I say, I wonder what’s going to happen exciting today?’ said Piglet. Pooh nodded thoughtfully. ‘It’s the same thing,’ he said.” –Winnie-the-Pooh What’s the first […]
I have found myself crying more often. I don’t know if it’s age or the season we’re in or just me being in touch with my emotions more, but out of what seems nowhere I’ll be overrun with emotion and tears flow. I’ve been experiencing many changes and I’m guessing you have too. This last […]
