Spending uninterrupted time
A few days ago I was struggling. I wasn’t sure why, but something just felt completely off. When that happens, I usually start analyzing what’s different in my routine. As I was evaluating what changes I had made, I knew how I was spending my quiet time was to be blamed. I still woke up […]
You are LOVED!
Do you know that God loves you? Like, really really loves you? Do you know He thinks highly of you? Today I want to share a few verses with you, just to remind you (and me), that the God of the universe loves us with an everlasting love. One that is not comparable to anything […]
In the fullness of time
My friend and I were having a conversation about the things that are happening in my life. She’s a new friend, so she’s only seeing what’s happening from a very current perspective. I’ve shared a little about my writing experiences and how I got started a few years ago, writing, with no intention of sharing […]
Would you have stopped?
I try to be very candid with the lessons I’m learning and what I share. To be honest, this one is a hard one, but I want to share anyway. My mommy friend who I also take the train with text me mid afternoon to confirm what time train I would be on. I shared […]
A changing season
I love mangoes! Wait.. did I mention that I absolutely love mangoes? I was in Jamaica a month ago. It was the peak of mango season. The fruit was plentiful. Every tree was laden with ripe mangoes, and even mangoes lay fallen under the trees everywhere I went. Due to family reasons, I had to […]
Give Thanks
A few days ago I thanked God because someone was mean to me. Before you start wondering if I’ve lost it, let me explain. I’m an early riser, and I love to go to the beach. I went to the beach on my early morning excursion, expecting to pay my usual $10 for the parking […]
Our disappointments
I think I’ve gotten into a rhythm of posting a blog thought once per week, mainly on the weekend. As Friday approached, I realized I had not seen any lessons that would translate into a thought, and so I started praying for something. Saturday came. Nothing. Sunday came. Nothing. Sunday evening came. Still nothing. I […]

Initially, I told my husband I was too old to start over with...
Tomorrow?
I usually don’t think much about the fact that we aren’t promised tomorrow, but I had such a powerful lesson that I wanted to share. My sister in law and I had a wonderful first few days together of our vacation. When I was planning our trip, as we were spending the first few days […]
Good news!
Hi Friends, I just wanted to share some news with you! I’ve been writing for a little over two years now (still seems hard to believe), not knowing what the next step would or should be – and I was ok with that. My only call had been to write devotions to share. I’m learning […]
