The 2020 Pandemic Exposed My Weaknesses, Defenses, Strengths, and Potential

Not unlike most of the world, 2020 threw me into a tailspin and exposed a shadow side I was unaware of. My last post was a tribute to turning 50, where the future was my to possess. Little did I know four weeks later, everyone's world would be turned upside down. And I would see just how emotionally unhealthy I really was.

A Letter to My 8-Year-Old Self

You'll spend a lot of your life feeling like you don't fit in. Most of the time, you'll believe it's because you're not enough, and then you'll swing to you're just too much. Somewhere along the way, you'll lose yourself, but you'll discover her again. You will actually fall in love with her, and fitting in won't seem to be that big of a deal. But it will suck that the revelation comes so much later in life.

Identity Crisis

Recently, I had a conversation with a high school friend as to why she no longer attended church. She said she didn’t feel as though she fit in. She’s never been married, and felt like church is geared towards the married, and all that…

Thank You Jesus...

I am so excited to introduce to you my friend Maria Votto. We met through Blogger Linkup. After reading her blog The Heart of Ruth, it didn't take long to recognize similarities in our lives. Take a moment to check out her site, I'm sure…

Learning to Dive Deeper…

I thought for sure that when I heard I was getting ready to dive into a deeper season with the Lord that the two of us would take the plunge together, swim to the bottom, and I would get to soak up new and fresh revelation. Thus far all its…

It's Only A Chair...

I remember sleepovers at my grandmother's house as a child. I loved everything about them, except waking up in the middle of the night - alone! Every noise I heard was someone coming to get me and every shadow was that someone! I can remember…

In The Desert...

I am in one of the driest spiritual seasons ever!  Lately, every good intention dies shortly after it’s birth, and I look behind me at a pathetic path of restarts! I keep crying out for the rescue party, but none seem to arrive. Nevertheless,…

Let's Do Coffee...

This week I've started three different blogs, and I get to the end where I want to close and publish, but I just can't! I mean I could have talked about what was going on in my life, or picked a random topic, but I couldn't get all of you out…

Do I Have Enough Faith?

I will never forget what my husband said to me the night he was diagnosed with cancer. I don't have enough faith to do this. I don't think anyone ever feels like they have enough faith when it comes right down to it. However, the Bible tells…
