However an hour or so later when I tried to talk to my husband again about why I was angry he said something that made me really think about the origin of what had happened…which really was insignificant and would have been no logical reason for me to get so upset. It was something I should have just brushed off, but I turned it into such a big thing for no reason!

I have done this numerous times in my life, all in the moment I feel my anger is valid, then after I settle down, I see the reality of my inability to control my emotions. I seem to be able to control my emotions fine around strangers and in the work place, but with people I love, I can’t control it.

I’ve been fascinated with “The Chosen” since I first heard it needed funding to get off the ground back in 2019 at the height of so much change in my life…divorce.

Spiritual abuse is real. It’s something pastors can do to their churches. It’s something parents can do to their children, it’s something friends can convince you of and it’s often things that are coated with little bits of truth but not the whole truth and then just like the snake deceived Eve, you can also be deceived and think things about God’s character that are not true.

God's love provides strength and peace, offering security beyond worldly challenges and affirming our worth. In distress, reflecting on this love connects us to something greater. Scripture emphasizes grace, mercy, and compassion, guiding us through prayer and meditation towards renewed hope.

I am 43 years old today. My husband ordered me a Chic-Fil-A breakfast before I even officially got out of bed and the kids had cards and gifts waiting for me on the kitchen island. It was nice to be showered by gifts first thing when I woke up this morning and even better to read my kids’ heartfelt cards.

All about our honeymoon in Cancun, we took almost a year after we actually got married.

Blind spots are just that. Spots you can’t see very clearly and only after careful examination will you be able to understand what you’ve been missing.

In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.

We have a beautiful home. The boys have a church family that loves them and our work is very rewarding, but very demanding and time consuming. Sometimes it feels like that’s all we do. But it’s at least work we are doing for His kingdom and there’s no greater reward than that.

“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul.”

“The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.”

Hebrews 6:19 “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.”

“Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves

“Above all put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.”

“Blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence.”

“The Lord upholds all who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down.”

“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will sour on wings like eagles: they will run and not be weary, they will walk and not be faint.

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is life not more than food, and the body more than clothes?”
