What My Book Is About

I wish I could sit down, look into your eyes, and tell you about this journey. I wish you could see the tears, the awe, the wonder of God on my face. I still can’t believe God has given me this responsibility to put words on a page and allow real people to read the words. This week I am sharing a snippet of what the book is about so you can know what you are getting when you order it. Here is an overview: Problems can make you feel like God is far away, but they can also be

Why I Wrote a Book

Why I Wrote a Book

There are some things in life that you always dream of doing. And you even tell people, “One day I’m going to …” Writing a book was never one of my dreams. As a school-aged girl, I struggled to finish reading a book for a simple book report.

When You Feel Overwhelmed

It’s been a while. There are many reasons why, but for now I’ll just share one – Foster Care. I don’t know how much of this journey I will share, but as God gives me words, I promise to let you in on the beautiful broken road we are walking. We live in a world where we are challenged to simplify, organize, and compartmentalize our lives into cute planners with holiday stickers and journals for every occasion. I’m the first to confess I love an adorable planner with a fun pink pen and a place to keep my list of

Problems, Problems Go Away!

Problems, Problems Go Away!

When it rains, it pours! Especially when it comes to problems in life. It never fails. Just as soon as one thing goes wrong, a series of difficult circumstances seem to follow. Ever been there? Why is it that problems always seem to come in sets of three? Strike 1! Strike 2! And by the time strike 3 hits, you’re already walking to the dugout.
