Up until today, I would describe my journey-to-better as exciting. I’ve eaten better – and written more – this past couple of weeks than I have in a long while. It’s felt good knowing I am finally doing something to help myself get back on track with both my eating and my call to... Continue Reading →
We're on a journey. A passage from one corner of life to another. Leaving behind the mindset of defeat in search of something better. For me, this journey points to better health. To victory over that which has held me captive far too long. It’s also a journey to obedience. To following the call God... Continue Reading →
One week into the new year and I’m already lagging behind. We started school back this past Monday, albeit reluctantly. Today, the kids begin their second semester of Homeschool Academy, setting out to tackle what's left of this school year. As we settle in to do just that, I am reminded there are other things...

I paused, reading the verse a second time: “O Lord, I have so many enemies; so many are against me.” This is how Psalm 3 begins.

I’ve never been much of a talker, always more of the quiet type. As a child and young adult, I was extremely timid and shy. I would sit in a classroom tormented because I knew the answer to a question posed by the teacher, but lacked confidence and courage to lift my hand and let... Continue Reading →
Today I share a post written by my daughter who is a heart mommy. I was not familiar with this term until a few months ago when my grandson was born with a serious heart defect. Since then, I have come to love and respect this special group of people... these special heart mommies and daddies chosen by God to love on... Continue Reading →
Fear has always been a struggle for me. I don’t recall when we first met, but I do know that being shy and introverted provided ample opportunity for fear to show up and take root. So many occasions, in fact, that it became a regular companion of mine. I experienced fear as a young child... Continue Reading →
