It is a good time of remembrance to take a look at life. What has worked out, what hasn't. Has it really been all for the good, as God promises us? Sometimes the things we want most seem so out of sight, so impossible. But surely there are some things we've prayed for that have … Continue reading Remember that time you asked for…

Grateful for Good Friends
It is interesting how there are periods of time when we seem to be overbooked by so many social dates it makes our heads spin, and then there are those long periods of time of silence with no calls/texts and it's just you and God. I feel like in those moments, your inner man is … Continue reading Grateful for Good Friends
Peer Group Support on a Particularly Bad Day
What are some of the things you look for in a peer support group? Is it community? Tips for struggles? Someone to listen? I found all of that last night at a peer support group which was something I never wanted to go to before. I had always considered myself to be someone who was … Continue reading Peer Group Support on a Particularly Bad Day
Unstoppable
As I reflected on Easter Sunday this morning there was a character quality of God's that brought me to tears. All of hell tried to rid themselves of Jesus and on a Friday about 2000 years ago, they celebrated His death while His disciples mourned in utter grief. We now call it Good Friday because … Continue reading Unstoppable
“Jesus and I were tight once, but…”
Do you ever feel like you wish you could go back to those first days when Jesus first came into your life? When you were filled with the Holy Spirit and complete joy and peace.

A host of angels appeared, to shepherds, in the sky proclaiming peace on earth and goodwill to men "For on this … Continue reading What is Christmas about anyway and why are people talking about the Rapture.
Humbly broken but not forsaken
This world is not easy. People are not always kind. Is it any wonder that we can be unkind to ourselves? Jesus tells us to forgive but does he also mean we must let go of self loathing? Do you live in a constant state of regret and self condemnation? Jesus did not throw a … Continue reading Humbly broken but not forsaken
It’s time to come home to Jesus
Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, God sees you. He understands you because he made you and he's saying it's time to come home. He doesn't care what you've done or where you've been because he already paid for it all on the cross. All he asks is you believe that he took your … Continue reading It’s time to come home to Jesus
To Be Still and Linger
4 birthday parties and back to school! This month is flying by and there is so much to do. Still I am reminded that sometimes if the enemy can't take us down, he'll keep us busy. I don't want to lose sight of God's purpose for my life in the hustle and bustle of things. … Continue reading To Be Still and Linger
