“You don’t understand what I am doing, but someday you will.” John 13:7 Do you ever wonder what God is doing in your life that you just do not understand why? These moments of wonder can be little things such as wondering why you lost your keys? Or a big moment such as why did… Continue reading A Purpose Found from a Diagnosis
A Mother’s Faith
"Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1 ESV I am holding onto this verse as I remember my mom tonight. Her faith was so strong.

The Women Who Made Me The Mom I Am Today
I wanted to write a post about Mother's Day. So, one evening I kept thinking on what to write about. I was forcing it. I never want to force anything I write.

Rise up
I’ve been thinking a lot about my grandmother lately. We called her Maw Maw, and the warm memories I have of her have made me smile and laugh a lot recently. She passed away when I was 13. She was a Christian woman who would give you the shirt off her back and set you… Continue reading Rise up
Find Your Crayola Marker
Regardless of how desperately I tried, there was no joy—zero joy amid my sorrow. Day after day, I stared at my bedroom ceiling as depression consumed everything within me. I was weak physically from a lack of nutrients and fluids. I was also weak spiritually since "You are a phony" played repeat in my mind.… Continue reading Find Your Crayola Marker
