Can I Say “Really?!?” to God?
Have you ever felt like the verse you just read, the devotional you just opened, or the thought someone just shared was…well…for lack of a better word…ugh? My sister-in-law Debbie sent me a devotional this morning. She surprises me with really beautiful encouraging texts. Just when I need them. This morning the devotional included this…

Are You More than Just Living?
I’ve been studying 1 John this past week. There are a lot of verses that grab me in that little book. And there are a lot of verses I want to grab hold of too. God has used those words to convict, confirm, and mostly comfort me this past week. My study has brought…

Taking 4 Steps Back
Once upon a time… There was a little girl who dreamed of being married and raising beautiful little children who would love the Lord and each other. There wasn’t a white picket fence, but there was a big oak tree with a tire swing, a creek with tadpoles, a kitchen counter with a fresh loaf…

Up to My…Head
When I started this blog I wanted to offer hope with a dash of humor thrown in for good measure. I can, at times, be a little funny. My amusing side has been slipping a bit lately, and I’d like to find that voice again. As I begin this new year, I’m thinking I want…
