Finding Joy in God’s Presence
The promise, “You will fill me with joy in your presence,” perfectly captures the heart of worship.

The writer in me
Have you ever desired to say something and you didn’t have all the words to do it? Writing became a passion of mine several years ago, actually back in High School I started writing but some unkind people made me stop writing. I started writing to express all the thoughts roaming in my head in…
Words & Conversations to ourselves and others…
Our words carry weight. They can help build a wall so others cannot get in, as well as tear down that wall. Ephesians 4:29 “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouth, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.”…
Suicide Awareness
Have ever thought about what makes a person commit suicide? September is suicide awareness month, so I’m late in writing, I am open about my suicide attempts. As a hormonal teen I found myself bullied and unable to cope with what they said to me. I felt I had no one to talk to. Before…
Prodigal Son (again)
Prodigal son teaching returns to me again. Our community group studied it for a while, then our pastor preached on it, my Monday night Bible study has a section on it right now, then at Faithwalk the first night had a devotional on it. Last night my husband and I were watching something about fame…

And most of us are unaware of what is going on in the minds of those around us. Let’s face it, most of us have some dysfunctional relationships within our families…
Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day is a day to honor your Mom, Mother, Mommy, Momma. It is a day to say thanks for giving me life and I love you. I am not a fan of this day. Not because of my Mother, but because of the focus of being a Mother. For the motherless children, it is…
Woman of Faith
I have been asked how I came to have such a strong faith in God. My answer had always bee “oh my Mom.” Until recently. “But as for you, teach what accords with sound doctrine. Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness. Older women likewise are…
Letters of Encouragement
1 Thessalonians 5:11 “Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.” Encourage/Encouragement in Greek “Oikodome” the act of building, building up, edifying; the act of one who promotes another’s growth in Christian wisdom, piety, holiness. (Strong Concordance) If you google “encourage or encouragement in the Bible”, your results could…
