What's in a name hundreds of centuries-old? That's still able to move mountains when upon it's called. What's in a name? Whether Gentile or Jew? That is full of power and mighty to save both me and you. What's in a name that makes demons tremble and flee? And yet gentle enough when spoken to… Continue reading What’s In a Name?

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!
Poem: Deciduous or Evergreen: Which Would I Be?
Whenever I look out my window, I always see a tree,One day I questioned, "If that were me, what kind would I be?"Would I be deciduous? Or would I be an evergreen? (The Evergreen) Evergreen never changing, full of leaves always green,Competing for every available spot in the rainforest canopy, Trying to get every bit… Continue reading Poem: Deciduous or Evergreen: Which Would I Be?
Deciduous or Evergreen: Which One Are You?
Fall is my favorite season. It is representative of the transition from the smoldering heat of summer to the cold of winter. Now, I am speaking from an ideal perspective. However, I live in Texas so it usually doesn't happen that way. It is not unusual for fall to have 90-degree weather but due to… Continue reading Deciduous or Evergreen: Which One Are You?
There Is A Place
There is a place where the Spirit is alive,And the reward of all who believe is everlasting life. There is a place where you can taste and see that He is good, Where all can be restored and His will is understood. There is a place where vision is regained to once sin blinded eyes,… Continue reading There Is A Place

During this time, I've also found myself enjoying the simplicity that comes with solitude and minimal distraction. Since becoming a stay at home mom, I've found great joy in being… Continue reading Break Away
Is That All You Have?
Let me be the first to say that I detest grocery shopping. From the lines, insufficient registers, and crowds, I could do without all of it. Let's just say I try to avoid it at all means. I make every effort to get everything I think we may need every time I go because I… Continue reading Is That All You Have?
You Are
From light breaking through the darkness of night, To the wind that gently breezes and guides a child's kite. From the heartbeat at conception as a sign of new life, To milk in the breast of a mother whose infant holds tight. From every inhale and exhale as a our lungs breath in and out,… Continue reading You Are
So They May Know
This past week has been a challenge. Our daughter came home last Monday from school not feeling well and it led to a sequence of unexpected events. Throughout the night, she kept waking up feverish, with a headache, saying that she was being bitten while sleeping and bumps kept popping up all over her body.… Continue reading So They May Know
If We Only Had a Heart
If we only had a heart, We wouldn't look on as the innocent die, Or turn a deaf ear as children torn from parent's arms cry. If we only had a heart, We would see human and not race, We'd understand that because of Our Father everyone has a place. If we only had a… Continue reading If We Only Had a Heart
