Isaiah 43:2 “When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.” How are we already in mid-November? In a few days, I’ll have been in Hawaii … More It’s Not Always Sunny in Paradise
Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” Another version words the second part like this: “plans to give you hope and a future.” Here we are at the end of July. This year sure is … More Don’t Give Up
Here we are…smack dab in the middle of June. It feels just like yesterday I was shoveling snow and relishing in its beauty. Although, not quite at the same time. To be completely honest, I have been struggling. Spiritually and mentally. The past several months have been some of the most challenging filled with some … More It’s Going to Be Okay
Sitting on the back deck, I can’t help but soak up God’s beautiful creation. The sun shines gloriously. Trees swaying on the gentle breeze. Birds chirping and flying to and fro.

I force myself to walk slower. A seemingly unimaginable task for someone who has walked fast their whole life. I close my eyes, breathing deeply. Inhaling the scent of lavender as I walk though this small lavender farm. What is it about lavender that can almost instantly put our nerves at ease? A few days … More God Can Use You

Besides swimming, there are a few other sweet reminders that summer has begun. Lightning bugs, trips to the beach, tropical breezes, juicy peaches. This past … More Keep On Shining
As the sun sets, I sit here trying to read a literary classic. It’s hard to focus with the sound of a lawnmower going back and forth in the background. As my brain tries to focus on the words in front of me, I can’t help but think of how I’m spending my time. I … More As Time Slips Away…
I haven’t written in a while. I’m not really sure why. Maybe life got away from me, maybe I was focused on other things. I wasn’t giving my soul time to bleed onto paper. Life has been filled with fun things and frustrating things. I haven’t been inspired to write. Everything can change in a … More Firefly Blessings
Isaiah 26:3 “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.” Have you ever been completely at peace? About a week ago, my nerves were frazzled.
