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. We have had so much beautiful weather lately. It almost seems like a crime to sit inside when nature beckons. Because of the time … More His Eye is on the Sparrow
A couple of months ago, as a friend and I headed to a belated birthday celebration, my car decided to act up. The traffic light turned green, but the car wouldn’t go. Thankfully, God allowed it to get back to my place (which we weren’t far away from). We got out of my car and … More “Keep Trusting Me”
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

Who knows. … More How Big Is Your Faith?
Have you ever had someone tell you to embrace your scars or to cover them up so tightly that no one will ever see? In January, I shared with the world one of my greatest scars. It’s a scar that still hasn’t completely healed and I don’t know if it ever will. It’s not a … More Embrace Your Scars
The other day, as I walked into work, a thought that ran through my mind was, “What can I do today to be a blessing to others?” The thought took me back for a second because I don’t normally have that thought as I’m walking into work, sad to say. It’s something I should be … More What Can I Do Today?
Do you remember the good ole days of taking tests what seemed like every other day or at least once a week while in school? No? I wasn’t a student that LOVED school. I loved history class, lunch and recess…but that’s pretty much it. If you sat me down and gave me a test a … More Did You Pass The Test?
I don’t know about you, but I love olive oil. Take me to an Italian restaurant where they bring you warm, fresh bread and a small dish of olive oil and spices to dip the bread in and I’m set. I wish there was an option on the menu where you could just keep eating … More Crushed like Olives
