“Enough” is Enough
All of us use words to describe what we think about ourselves. For some of us those words are “ashamed”, “stupid”, “ugly”, “unlovable”, and “unworthy”. I know that these words go through my head a lot…especially on those days when I experience something that confuses or embarrasses me. Living in the world we live in,…

The Willing Heart
There are many days when I have an un-willing heart. I don’t always want to hear God’s voice. I don’t always want to follow His path for me. I don’t always want to live in faith and wait for His guidance. I want to just be…and wallow in my own issues and needs. I want…

G.I. Joe
When I was about 8 years old I received my first and only barbie doll. She was beautiful, with creamy skin and short curly hair. Hours were spent styling her and I made her so many clothes and earrings. She was a very lucky doll. Then at about 10 years old I started nagging my…
