the Music within us…
This last week I was watching The Jesus Music, a documentary chronicling the rise of Christian music. It traces its inception from the 1970s hippie movements, through the glory days of rock and roll in the 1980s, to this day. Famous faces, names and songs brought back memories, invoking nostalgia from my youth into my…

Women of Today (part 6)
I need nothing but Jesus. He is the only reason I live and breathe on this earth. I will be spending eternity with Him in heaven, and there is nothing on this earth that I will need with me…!! Nothing! I don’t need to be pretty, rich, famous, or smart. I just need Him! My…

Woman of Today (part 5)
How can we change the system that is part of the very DNA in our culture? There is only 1 answer. That is Jesus! Two thousand years ago He came onto this earth. He went against the very culture of His day. He had women as disciples, women spreading the news of the resurrection, women…

Woman of Today (part 3)

If anything, our normal evening line up…

“Our____, who art in _____?”
Throughout history we have had generations that have been known for grit, tenacity, faith, morals, and truth. It’s becoming quite apparent that things aren’t the same anymore. We are raising a new generation by over protecting them, and instilling fear into everything we do and say. It might not be that easy to see, but…

Search for Authenticity
Being one’s “authentic self” sounds like such a good thing. It gets talked about a lot. People say they want to be… “Real”. “Brave”. “Aware”. “Unique”. And it feels impossible… What does it look like? For me being authentic is messy. It’s a juxtaposition of anger and vulnerability, honesty and lies, deep pain and survival.…

Body Beautiful
Just last week I had the JOY of sitting on a beautiful beach. Calm and turquoise water, gentle breezes, and warmth just seeping through the bones. BLISS!! “Mom, Poppa says you’re too old to wear a bikini!”, the young voice pierces through the calm. “Yes, I am…but I have decided not to care about all…
