I was reading this morning in James using my favorite translation, The Passion Translation, and was caught by the simple yet powerful words in chapter 1 verses 3 and 4. “For you know that when your faith is tested it stirs up power within you to endure all things. And then as your endurance grows… Continue reading God’s Gym: Hard Times Build Our Faith Muscles
We were created to praise God. He created us for His glory, and there is nothing that reflects His glory more than giving Him honor and praise for Who He is! But what if we don't know how?
It doesn't matter what is being said about you. It doesn't matter what others think of you. What matters is what you think of yourself! And if you believe lies about yourself, then you will act on those lies instead of the truth. Any words that make you seem "less than" the amazing person… Continue reading You Are MORE!

Do you ever feel as if God doesn't know you, doesn't even see you? That you are just floundering around down here, trying to make this crazy life work?

Here’s what I saw: like these crazy Allium bulbs--that were in bags in a dark place--we can grow… Continue reading Grow In The Dark!
I wrote this during a time of excruciating difficulty. I feel that someone needs it, as well as I , right now. Because I've been a control-freakish-type person, relinquishing has been really hard for me. But, I do know that Jesus is the One I turn to. Hope this helps you today. Hugs… Continue reading Relinquish
I say I love and follow Jesus with all of my heart. But the true story is that I can only love with the part that’s been healed from its wounding. Feeling abandoned and rejected, looking for love in all the wrong places because of my abuse (can I get an amen?), not loving myself… Continue reading With ALL My Heart?
Do you feel worn out, ragged, in bits and pieces? Sometimes we feel as if the world has pulled at us so much that there’s no resemblance to the person we were. And sometimes it’s a good thing, because we needed to change into the glorious creature we are created to be. The wondrous thing… Continue reading Sewing the Patches of Our Lives into Wings
You ARE amazing!! I finally began to believe that about myself after a few days of saying it out loud in front of the mirror. The year was 2008.
