Lately, I have been meditating on the unconditional love of God. Why? Because there have been times in my life when I didn’t necessarily feel the love of God, or I equated the lack of love I felt from man to that of God. If we aren’t careful, we can easily allow what we experienceContinue reading “He STILL Loves Us”

Not Just Stories
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. Ultimately, the best thing would be for us to get to know someone ourselves. The same was true back inContinue reading “Not Just Stories”
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.

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”

Trust His Plans
All of my life, I have been a planner and an overachiever. By the time I was in high school, I had at least the first 20 years of my life mapped out. 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”
