Is Our Faith Without Foundation?
This last weekend was Easter weekend, and endless social media posts wished “Happy Easter”, “He is Risen”, etc. I also posted the same “He is Risen” and was left thinking about it all. What does that actually mean to me personally? I’m not going to go into a salvation message, but I’m going to start…

Hope in the Chaos
Wow, it’s been a few years since I sat down to blog. So much has happened, yet what’s real is still real. I’ll start with a short update of what’s being going on. In the spring of 2019 I graduated from Lakehead University in Thunder Bay with an HBA in Political Science and Women’s Studies.…

This is not a test!
These last few weeks have been topsy-turvy. The highs and lows of life as a woman, mother, student, daughter, and Jesus follower. How does one really deal with the emotionality of it all?

Patience? What’s that?

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…
