“Fat, Black and Ugly!” Those were the words she was yelling at me down the middle school hall. I was a 7th grader and she was an 8th grader. She was bigger, stronger and more popular. So when she threw a basketball at me in the gym and it hit me in the head, I… Continue reading Lies We Believe, Truth in the Inward Parts

Morning Reflections
This morning I had a great time with Jesus. We met around 4am and for about an hour I struggled to get out of bed, make some tea and move our meeting spot to the living room couch. I read an old journal last night and it stunned me how much I have transformed over… Continue reading Morning Reflections
V Day Party/Book Release
I woke up super early Saturday morning and continued my cleaning and straitening up from the weekend before. I scrubbed and dusted and vacuumed. I looked outside and saw the white stuff taking over the world. “Lord, please make the snow stop for my party!” I know, it was a selfish prayer. But I prayed… Continue reading V Day Party/Book Release
One Year Later: V Day
So this time last year I was meeting my guy for our first date which just so happened to be on V Day. We went ice skating and it was something out of one of those sappy Lifetime movies (which are BTW now on Netflix!). My eyes fell on him and he was gorgeous. We… Continue reading One Year Later: V Day
Mission-Minded, Purpose-Driven, Eternally Focused
So I’ve been very distracted lately. Worry, anxiety and fear have been prevalent and I was heavy with sorrow. I couldn’t seem to find my way back to truth but in His grace Truth found me. A few weeks ago I was listening to some sermons by a well-known minister. I was encouraged and edified… Continue reading Mission-Minded, Purpose-Driven, Eternally Focused
When Settling Seems to be the Only Option

I know what it’s like to walk down the aisle of a wedding, only to go to your designated position as bridesmaid… Continue reading When Settling Seems to be the Only Option
We Need New Leadership!
For the bulk of my career I have been under poor leadership. This is particularly difficult b/c I, myself am a leader. I don’t really think of myself in that way but I know that is how the Lord sees me. When you yourself are a leader, you know the qualities a good leader has.… Continue reading We Need New Leadership!
Write the Vision, Make it Plain
So Holy Spirit has been speaking to me about having a vision for my life. I find that a little difficult b/c my experience in this area has caused me to put so many dreams and goals on hold. In the area of relationships/family/living residence/career/and spirituality. Everything has been submitted to Him and every choice… Continue reading Write the Vision, Make it Plain
Winter Revelations
This week has been an adventure as every morning I woke up earlier than my normal, peaked outside through my blinds and assessed just how much snow had invaded my street. And every morning I prayed for the Lord to “not let me get stuck” in my parking spot as the snow was often blocking… Continue reading Winter Revelations
A Sweet Offering
Today I sent a text to my friend telling her I was struggling. I revealed my soul in that text. I shared my inner thoughts in that text. And she did not take it lightly. She understood. And she proceeded to encourage me. I told her about the pain of this season. That, as much… Continue reading A Sweet Offering
