A Letter to My 8-Year-Old Self

Just Do It Afraid

It was one of the scariest days of my life. The phone rang and the doctor said the result from my husband’s biopsy was throat cancer. I remember the blood rushing from my head, and everything seemed to echo from that moment on. I can recall…

I Have MS (Martha Syndrome)

It doesn't get any easier! Twenty-one years and three months since I recommitted my life to Christ, asked Him to never allow me to wander again, and it's still a challenge to make spending time with Him a priority! I look at myself in the mirror…
