We’ve all seen the extreme preppers and survivalists. Their goal is to simply survive in the face of a global disaster that they are sure is about to happen. They are preparing in a panic because they are fearful that the world is beginning to fall apart. When you consider their position and fear, it’s …
Yes, the world is beginning to fall apart. Are you Ready? Read More »
I am starting the new year contemplating the scariest verse in the Bible as we move through the third week of January. How we are this far into January is beyond me. Anyway, Happy New Year! I hope you had a merry Christmas and an enjoyable holiday season. I wrote a blog post at the …
The scariest verse in the Bible is written in red (and why it matters) Read More »
If you are frustrated by a negative mindset, read on for the antidote! Hint: It has to do with remembering… Tell me I’m not the only one. When life gets hard and the days tend toward long and exhausting, I find myself feeling like everything is wrong and nothing is ever going to change. I …
In my last post, I tackled the topic of remembrance and why it is important, then I set out to spend 40 days remembering what God has done in my life instead of the typical thankful/grateful exercises. Interestingly, God brought me back to remember my season of anxiety and how He had worked within that story. …
Ever found yourself in a season so hard you seriously wondered if there would ever be joy and happiness again? You’re in good company if you have. The devil loves to make us think we are alone in our suffering. He wants nothing more than to isolate us and keep us discouraged. Can I tell …
I’m always looking for new ways to dive into scripture to study it. Finding those hidden treasures tucked away, buried but accessible for those willing to dig a little is incredible.

If you’ve followed my blog for a while, you know a common theme I write about is trials and God’s sovereignty. Life has been difficult for me in all areas- marriage, motherhood, professionally, and personally. Over the years I have come to see God’s sovereign hand in it all and I am so grateful for what the trials have produced in regards to my relationship with the Lord.
“I’m almost 100% sure it’s cancer.” My mom and I listened to the doctor who had just performed a colonoscopy on my dad give us the life-changing news over the phone. Thanks to COVID, my mom couldn’t even hear it in person. A procedure to rule out cancer showed the very thing no one ever …
It made me so sad. Reading through comments on a Facebook post, I came across someone who was afraid to plant something because they didn’t want to hurt the soil.
