Roots and Wings
These last few weeks have been a bit stressful, but it’s normal stress, the kind that comes with the end of a school term. It’s even a good kind of stress because you get tested in so many ways. How do we measure up? Are we students that procrastinate? Cheat? Blame? Compare? Do we know…

The Difference…
We now have a new year ahead of us. January first is also the first day of a new age for me as well, seeing as my birthday falls on the last day of December. So, each time I plan how the next year is going to look. I love the idea of resolutions, but…

This is not a test!

Patience? What’s that?
“What do you love about Jesus?” was a question that my friend asked me yesterday. I had to think about that for a bit. These last few years I have learned about a new Jesus…not the one I grew up with, the one defined by man…but someone more infinitely beautiful. Someone who really loves. Someone…

10 things I learned about myself…in women’s ministry.
These last 9 months I have been privileged to serve in the ladies ministry program at our church. It was a schooling that I didn’t expect. 10 things I learned about myself…in women’s ministry. 1. I am not as spiritual as I pretend to be. Yes, we can have a spiritual “look” about us,…

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…
