I believe with every fiber of my being that this message needs to be given.  Somewhere out in cyberspace is someone who needs to hear this because: Your loneliness is unbearable. Your heart aches day in and day out. You’re filled with guilt and shame because of your past mistakes. Someone has taken your innocence…

This week I received numerous emails, facebook messages and even phone calls from women asking me for marital counsel.  After hearing about their hurts and frustrations my heart was literally grieved for all wives everywhere.  Which, by the way, is an act of God because I’m not a very compassionate gal!  As the Lord continues…

So, I had a good hair day and I figured I’d make my first video!   Yeah, I’m vain like that.  The great thing about doing the video like this is I didn’t have to prepare a script or recall things from memory while I spoke; I could just remain silent.  I kinda felt like…

Broken relationships with my family Hurt by Christian women Struggled in ministry to stay afloat Years of chronic and debilitating illnesses…

For a couple hours now I have been wrestling with the Lord about writing this post…in fact, if you could take a peak inside my heart you could see me pleading with Him about how I am not ready to show some of my scars and how I don’t want to be vulnerable and transparent…

A few months ago, rather than having my eldest son attend his regular Sunday School class, he sat in the sanctuary with us to hear our pastor’s message.  We felt it was a good time to expose our son to the adult message to see if he had enough spiritual understanding for it. The teaching…
