Unplanned Friendships
I’m still amazed at my friendship with someone I have not yet met. How can someone become good friends with someone they’ve never met in person? There are times that I’ve asked if she’s really real. I know this sounds silly – especially because we text all the time – but can this type of […]
Do it well!
This week I had the opportunity to do something I rarely make time for: to get a manicure and pedicure at the same time. I guessed what time the salon would be open and went around then. To my disappointment, both salons (same owners) were still closed. I knew there was another one not too […]
Trust
Have you ever had a situation where you are reading a particular verse of scripture and meditating on it, and your friend sends you the same exact verse with her notes during her quiet time? In those moments, I realize just how real God is, and how much He cares about the little details. The […]
God cares about the details
This past week was a rough one. It felt like so many things were happening. It felt as if money was flowing out of my account like water. My friend shared this quote and I must agree, ‘in like drops and out like a waterfall’. Well, it certainly felt like a waterfall as there seemed […]
Show them love…
I’ve debated whether to share this much detail. I still struggle with sharing the private aspects of my life – but alas, I believe this story – embedded in my other message, will help someone. Recently, I had an anxiety attack while driving. I don’t think I’m typically prone to anxiety, but it might have […]
Choices
Our church’s lesson for this quarter centers on choices. As I started reading through it, it talked about how many choices we make.

Big changes???
Winter is finally over! I can see and hear the signs of spring. The birds are chirping and have become my morning alarm. The grass is going from dry burnt yellow to patches of green. And one of my favorites – the temperature hit nearly 70 degrees yesterday. With the return of warm weather, and […]
The power of the tongue
I had the pleasure to visit a church to speak for their women’s day. The topic that had been requested six months prior – ‘The power of the tongue’ talking about there is life and death in the power of the tongue and the words we use to others and ourselves. As usual, in the […]
Are you prepared?
I’m still sharing some of the lessons I learned while away – some because I forgot and some because they are harder topics to write on. But alas, I must do what I’m asked to do. As soon as we arrived at the airport in Mexico, we were told that we needed to make reservations […]
Bad company corrupts good character
1 Corinthians 15:33 states “Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.”” NIV One of the goals I set for myself a few years ago was to be abreast of the news. It is important for me to be aware of what’s going on as it impacts my work and general national and international […]
