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.

Come back to your first love
When you made a commitment to follow Jesus, you didn't anticipate the road he had for you. It was too hard for you and you walked away. It got worse but you felt there was no way back.

What is Christmas about anyway and why are people talking about the Rapture.
Over 2000 years ago a baby boy was born. His name: Jesus. Son of God and Man, he came to die on a cross, leaving glory and being born a helpless baby in a Manger.

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

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

It made me realize the business has been worth it and to keep going just that bit longer. I find … Continue reading Finding a Way to Play as a Bipolar Mom
I’m writing it!
I struggled to determine whether to write a book I had an idea for last year. It is fiction (I always thought I'd write Christian non-fiction self help books) but that is not the direction I ended up going in when I finally got the idea. Yesterday I made a list of reasons to write … Continue reading I’m writing it!
Does the Weather Seem Strange to You?
I actually have a sister-in-Christ that just escaped from the forest fires in Hawaii with her 13 family members. She had a pilot friend in Canada that secured spots for them on a flight and they got flown to BC just in time, but others have not been so fortunate. Close to home, we have … Continue reading Does the Weather Seem Strange to You?
