I recently decided I should probably listen to God about going back to school to get my Bachelor Degree and eventually my Master's Degree. It definitely wasn't something I decided on my own.  There are plenty of things I could do in my spare time.  However, God has huge plans for me and I want … Continue reading Lessons Jesus Taught in Statistics Class

Many times in life I have heard the phrase "be careful you don't burn all your bridges".  I've been thinking a lot about this lately.  I agree there are times you must be careful and not do this. However, I also believe there are times God calls you to burn the bridges in your life. … Continue reading Sometimes It’s Okay To Burn Bridges

I am blessed as God continues to put  many people in my life that speak truth and that are living for Jesus.

About a year ago our pastor called a Daniel Fast. I read about it and without a second thought came up with a hundred reasons why I couldn't do it.

Tomorrow my baby turns 16 and I'm overwhelmed with emotion. I would like to say I'm handling this like a big girl, but I'm not. On the inside I'm kicking and screaming like a two year old throwing a fit. I feel the starting of that empty nest. Even this morning as she was getting  … Continue reading Sweet Sixteen

Regardless how grounded in my faith in feel I am, I still argue with God. I'm not sure why because He always wins.  As my faith is being  stretched, I realize I'm on that edge of the cliff, the one where you have no other choice but to trust Him to take care of you. … Continue reading I Still Argue With God

Often we go through life saying "If only I had done____ differently, things would be better." I know for me personally I have spent many years saying that about a lot of things.
