Listen. I don’t have a big platform in which I can speak. I do not get involved in political issues nor try to argue with people about what I think, especially on social media of all places. I do however have this little blog in which I speak from my heart, share my experiences of …

Patience is meant to perfect us. James in the Bible tells us, “But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.” (James 1:4). Patience isn’t just the ability to wait, but it’s the ability to wait without getting upset, without worrying. I don’t know about you, but in …
It has been a little over a week since Hurricane Michael ripped up through the panhandle. These past two weeks have really been such a fog. It’s hard to process what even happened. It’s hard to know what to feel. There are so many emotions flowing. As we entered our neighborhood from evacuating last Friday, …
I do not believe everything happens for a reason. I also do not believe in a God, a good father that causes bad things to happen to His children. I know things happen. I also know that many things in this life that we walk through are hard to understand, especially when things that we …

She had just lost her husband. With his line of work there wasn’t a retirement, inheritance, or really anything left behind to support their debt or her and her two sons. She was faced with losing everything and all she had was a small amount of olive oil. This is a story of trust, obedience, …
One year. While “time flies” this past year has seemed to drag on. A lot can happen in a year, a lot did happen in minutes to completely change our lives. It all happened so fast, yet the recovery has been so slow. Am I 100%? No. Am I still continuing to heal? Yes. Am …
My favorite coin phrase through my journey of healing and finding my new “normal” post car collision has been “its been a roller coaster.” Roller coaster of emotions, roller coaster of pain, roller coaster in and out of comfort. There have been times just when I had gotten comfortable with the way things were, that …
Stillness. Patience. Waiting. None of my strong suits. For some time I have been praying and believing for God to bring forth some of the desires of my heart. I’ve been praying to be able to use the gifts He’s given me in a place that was healthy, life giving, and most of all in …
I shared previously, that it was after I knew my husband, and especially kids were okay in the car collision that I was able to swallow what had happened and be at peace with whatever was to come. I believe that many of you would be much the same, in first knowing your kids were …
I’m venturing off the beating path today from the order of our story to talk about love and marriage, all in honor of the wedding anniversary to my only one. Today marks seven years that I married Eric, the one who my soul loves, in an intimate, private (being just the two of us and …
So, I said after sharing the facts and account of our traumatic car wreck, to be encouraged because God showed up and just as promised, I’m here to tell you when we first saw Him. You may have read my last post and seriously asked how? How can one find the joy of the Lord …
The Wreck This is my account of the traumatic experience of being struck in a head-on collision by a drunk driver that literally wrecked our lives. As I share in this post mostly just the facts, be encouraged that while this is the account of our real and raw experience, Jesus and His grace was …
