There are times in my life when I feel completely overwhelmed. Some days I feel as if my head is barely above water and I keep bobbing up and down trying to stay afloat. I splash vigorously trying to get to safety and it seems the harder I splash, the deeper I sink. Then it happens..... I turn around in the water and I see him, standing right next to me. The Father, holding out his hands, just waiting for me to come to Him. In tears I grab His hands and He tells me, "My child, I was right here all along." Does this ever happen to you? Like me, do you ever get too busy trying to solve your problems on your own that you miss the Father standing right next to you, just waiting for you to surrender to Him? When I am able to rest in His presence, I find my whole outlook on life ... read more
The Two Most Important Things at Christmas (Christmas Blessing 2015)
It seems like the Christmas season comes upon us so quickly. Before you know it, you blink, and it has gone from January to December in a flash. As a stage IV breast cancer survivor Christmas takes on a new meaning to me. It makes me slow down and purposefully take in each moment and savor every second. As my family and I decorated for Christmas tonight, it made me stop and think about what the two most important things are at Christmas. 1.The most important thing about Christmas is Christ. He is the real reason we celebrate this season. It's because God decided to send His son down to earth in human form, born to a virgin, to one day save the world. It's the beginning of the solution to rescue mankind from it's transgressions. It's the answer to the problem that was created ... read more

A Titus 2 Legacy and a Legacy Leaver Thursday Link Up
There are so many types of legacies we can leave. We can leave legacies to our children, family members, friends, and even strangers that God places on our path. One of the most important legacies that we as Christian wives and mothers can leave is that of a Titus 2 Woman. "Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God." Titus 2:4-5 So many people quote Titus 2 but don't understand what it really means. What is mentorship? The Word of God tells us to come along side one another. We need mature Christians in our life to lift us up and help us. And we are to be there for the younger ones. I'm honored to partner with, ... read more
Living Out Titus 2
I am so excited to announce a brand new project that I'm apart of! I have been working with Woman to Woman Ministries to create an ebook titled, Living Out Titus 2. This will be a valuable resource for women as they strive to follow the instructions of God's Word and focus on, Living to Leave a Legacy, for their family and friends. Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God. Titus 2:3-5 What does Titus 2 really mean? What is mentorship? The Word of God tells us to come along ... read more
