When God Hears and Says No

As I’ve previously shared in this article: When God Moves But You Don’t Want To God moved us from California to Arizona with many unexpected turns and bumps. But isn’t that life? We don’t always know what’s coming, nor do we want to know most likely. Last week my post was about how God answered […]

Pray and Ask

“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 […]

Show Up

As I was organizing my office I came across some notes from a conference I attended. A friend of mine, Pastor Chris Cannon, shared some truth bombs about balancing life for happiness and success. Four main points: -Show up -Be present -Tell the truth -Let go of the outcome He also said… Schedule your top […]

When You Get Slammed with a Cancer Diagnosis

When you smash a muffin, you’ll get crumbs. When you cook oatmeal, you’ll get mush. When you squeeze a lemon, you’ll get sour. We’ve all heard it said… When life gives you lemons make lemonade. But what if life gives you cancer? How do you make lemonade with that? If life squeezed you, what would […]

Safe Place

My safe place is my husband. This is one of the long reasons why… Dear Husband… Before I met you I felt like a little girl who had been put out on the streets with no shoes on. Sometimes the ground would be really hot or really wet and cold. Many times I would get […]

COVID-19: When the World Stopped

I tend to be a planner. Are you? I always feel better when I have my lists made and my plans in place. I even pack days before I have to travel, just so I don’t forget anything. One time I travelled to visit a friend and once there realized I had forgotten my underwear. […]

A Message for Moms

“Lord, please give me the strength and wisdom to get through today. Please Lord, I need energy—I’m not asking for extra—just enough to do everything I need to today.” Many days started like that, but on this particular day it was not one of those parenting days, in fact, all was well—superb even. My day […]

Santa Clarita Shooting

It was a normal day not much different than any other day. I was preparing my home for a visit—my parents were due in the next day and would be spending the weekend with us. Noticing an early morning text on my phone I picked it up to read it, but was not ready for […]

Selfish in Marriage

Some days I want to be selfish. Some days I don’t want to think about anyone but me. Some days I don’t want to do what I know I should do. Some days I don’t feel like being loving. It’s on these days, I have a choice. I have a choice of how I want […]

Feeling Empty

I am sitting at my computer forcing myself to write because it’s Tuesday which means it’s blog post day. I’m feeling empty, poured out, depleted so how can I share anything with you? How do you write when you feel as though you have nothing to give? You’re honest I guess. You’re honest about how […]
