Listen when it's busy, Listen when it's still. Listen when you're healthy, Listen when you're ill. Listen when it's dark and dim, Listen when light shines through. Listen even in your sadness because I want to speak to you. Listen my children because your life depends on it, I had to shut things down just… Continue reading Listen!

I am an educator, a wife of 21 years, and mother of three beautiful children. I have taught the word of God to all ages and love to share it in creative ways. I've always had a passion for written expression. Over the years, I have documented my personal thoughts and prayers. Poems, devotionals, worship songs, and more have come from my life experiences. Now, I am ready to share them with the hope that lives and hearts will be changed as well as greatly blessed.
I am flawed but striving for perfection in Christ.
Although I have fallen short of the glory of God, I am forgiven.
I am loved with an everlasting love.
I am FREE!

Pedestals
Pedestals were meant to bring objects up higher, Not for us to place men upon so we can admire. Nor to exalt ourselves above others and say look at me, Or put our lives on display for all the world to see. Who are we except filthy rags washed clean by lamb's blood? Or wretches… Continue reading Pedestals

FREE has been a community and a platform for others to share their gifts to uplift others. It has taught me a whole new meaning of what it… Continue reading Happy 1st Year Anniversary!
Worthy
I haven't always felt that I deserved the best of things. In a strange way, I felt it was being haughty or selfish to expect the best of everything. Life's journey had whispered and told me I should just be grateful for what I did have. The truth is I wasn't living my "best life"… Continue reading Worthy
