When You Want to Know “WHY”
I walked around the living room at a fast pace. I was circling the room with no destination in mind. I couldn’t think clearly with all the thoughts bombarding me all at once. This was a time in my life when I felt like there were so many questions and no real tangible answers to grab hold of. I wanted to trust God and know that He was in control, but on this particular day I was at a loss. Confusion seemed to fill my heart, mind and soul. I made my final lap around the ottoman when I cried
When You Feel Like God Has Forgotten The Desires Of Your Heart
Today I invited my friend Lisa Murray to share an encouraging word with you! I know you are going to be inspired and encouraged as you hear about the message of peace that she shares in her new book Peace for a Lifetime. When You Feel Like God Has Forgotten The Desires of Your Heart Sometimes maybe dreams don’t come true. I held tightly to Psalm 37:4b that He will give you the desires of your heart.

5 Habits of a Woman Who Doesn’t Quit Book Review
Recently, a friend of mine wrote a powerful book that I want to share with you! I hope you will find her book as encouraging and helpful as I did! 5 Habits of a Woman Who Doesn’t Quit reminded me of all the things I’ve ever started and didn’t follow through with.

When You Need To Be Held
I recently visited a childhood landmark and I wanted to share the experience with you. I pray you are encouraged. As I stand at the back of the old auditorium and take a deep breath, I remember. I can hear the sound of the preacher’s voice and remember the conviction that would pour over my childhood soul. I wanted to love Jesus with all my heart, but even then, as a little girl, I knew I failed Him. I remember the familiar smell and the sight of the old wooden pews that seemed to go on and on. And then
When You Feel Like You’re Going Under
Matthew 14:22-33 When the winds of life are blowing out of control, it’s difficult to see beyond what lies directly ahead. Sometimes the trials that loom seem insurmountable. I’ve seen my share of wind and waves, and I know what it’s like to be knocked down and feel like you are nearly drowning by the heaviness of life. Life is full of difficult seasons.
