Have you ever felt as if you knew someone based solely on what you have heard without ever meeting them? I have. Such can be problematic due to the error that comes with human communication.

When…
When darkness falls, When things are still, When I’ve put up walls to hide what’s real, When all seems lost and winds blow to and fro, When I’m backed up in a corner with nowhere to go, When deceitful lies bring tears to my eyes, When it becomes far too much to hide the painContinue reading “When…”
Tears
My heart has been broken,My heart has been filled with joy. My heart has been played with,As if it were a toy. My life has been shaken by grief and strained,My feelings discarded as if they were spare change. I’ve lain my head in sorrow,I’ve lain my head in pain. I’ve felt like I wasContinue reading “Tears”
Fighting for Us
The past two weeks, I’ve had to watch my children walk through a very familiar place. They have been in situations where they’ve had to choose their responses and choose their battles. Have you been there? I have many times. Each time, I’ve learned something new about myself and have had to decide whether toContinue reading “Fighting for Us”

I would graduate from high school, attend a 4-year university, go to medical school, and become an Ob/Gyn. Thereafter, I would buyContinue reading “Trust His Plans”
Worthy
God has a way of opening our understanding by using the things of this world. As a child, I would watch the women in my life settle for less in life and relationships. I could never understand how women who I saw as strong and beautiful could allow a man to devalue or mistreat them.Continue reading “Worthy”
Power In His Name
Last Wednesday, I was on my way home from picking my children up from school early due to the winter storm. We were slowly crossing a bridge when I lost control of the car, spun out, and hit the wall. As we were about to hit the wall a second time, I called out, “Jesus”.Continue reading “Power In His Name”
Count Up the Cost
Earlier today, I sat down to reflect on my weekend. Immediately, I began to think about where each of our three children are in their lives. All of them have goals that they are working towards. Our oldest son is taking classes and has been training our youngest along with a few of his friendsContinue reading “Count Up the Cost”

So much confusion, Chaos all around. It’s not an illusion. People need solid ground. We are in it not of it; But what should we do. We fill our tabernacles and act blind to the clues. You’ve called us to a higher place, One of great love and grace. We ask what should we do,Continue reading “Love Past the Pews”
