Womanhood

When your soul feels like it’s being tossed to and fro and when problems can make us feel like we’re drowning in this life we can rest assured that God is in control. 2 Peter 1:3 says, “By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life.” Life in this…

I believe with every fiber of my being that this message needs to be given.  Somewhere out in cyberspace, someone  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 away or…

Several years ago I fell down some stairs in my home. The pain was so great it literally knocked the wind right out of my lungs. Thankfully, my knees and shins were just bruised and not broken. But that fall left an impact on my body leaving me with deformed shins several years after the…

But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!” Luke 10:40 It doesn’t take much effort on my part to act like Martha wondering…

A while back, a friend of mine shared how he will be walking his last daughter down the aisle to get married. The closeness, love, and pride this daddy feels for his girls is not something I can relate to. I was happy for him and the heritage he and his wife have built in…

Hurricane Harvey, Irma, and now Maria. Fires in the West. Massive earthquakes in Mexico. Threats from North Korea. Shootings and bombings across the world. From natural disasters to man’s sin, the world is in need of hope. But where does one find hope in such darkness and despair? Hopefully, they’ll turn to us, the Christ-follower,…
