Roots Exposed

I enjoy cutting the grass. Really, I do. There is something satisfying about putting music in your ears and pushing the mower through the green blades, getting an immediate result. My husband and I have had four homes throughout our married years. By far the easiest yard to cut was the one that was completelyContinue reading “Roots Exposed”

Coming soon…

Y’all, I can’t wait to bring you my new Bible study on the book of Acts. I am still floating on the kindness I have received since releasing my “30 Days with John” study last year. Everything God put on my heart as a reason for writing my first study was echoed through those whoContinue reading “Coming soon…”

When the Words Won’t Come

Writing is how I process my world. It is a free therapist that I never have to worry about overburdening with the same thoughts, ideas, and concerns.

Another is grieving over the loss of a marriage. For some, this is the first holiday without a loved one. Family membersContinue reading “Joy Uncovered”

Hope in a Hopeless World

We are in the first week of advent. In the church, Advent means the weeks leading up to the birth of Christ. Often this is represented by lighting a candle, specifically purple in color, to signify the hope of the coming of Christ. In the Old Testament, God’s people had strayed so far from Him.Continue reading “Hope in a Hopeless World”
