Nothing to Lose…
What do I have to lose? You might be wondering what I am talking about. This last year has been one of those journeys that I used to only read about. The “great awakening”!! It has been a year where the tears and laughter have flowed, but also the full spectrum of emotion has also…

Girl Power!
I have been a terrible flirt throughout most of my life. I didn’t see any harm in it, and couldn’t really understand why other girls/women would give me the evil eye. “No harm in a little fun”, said the voice in my head, “I am not doing anything really serious and would never follow through…!”…

Hurry Up Jesus!!
Do you even feel that your true destiny is not coming to fruition? You have had a prophecy or a dream in your life, and you know that God has something planned…and nothing seems to happen? Or then we tell Jesus what we think should happen, after all it says in His Word that all…

Last Week’s Blessing
I spent a lot of time wandering around my house yesterday. At home, alone, and restless. Watching Netflix seemed like a good option. Why do housework, as it never ends, and I don’t enjoy it anyways.

When I “Grow Up”?
“So, what are you going to do with your life, now that you are home without kids, and aren’t going back to Africa?” A common question, and I must admit I squirm every time I hear it. Am I supposed to be “doing” something? What, exactly? I don’t actually know. In the fall last year…

“Be Still, and Know”
About a month ago I asked Jesus what this verse meant, and how it applies to my life. “Be still, and know that I am God” Psalm 46:10a Today I felt that I needed to share what He told me…I hope that this also can help someone else… “Dear Child – first of all, I…

Pretty Prose? Not me!
After quite a bit of questioning and self reflection, I have realized that the way I communicate seems to be quite different from other women that blog. They have soft/flowery pictures and words of love and encouragement. The bible verses are uplifting, and help others get through another day. My blogs tend to be rants,…
