God is Good
Even when God works in everything for our good, not everything that happens to us is good. We live in a fallen world. It is often out of brokenness and desperation, that we seek God. And God will take that opportunity to open your heart's eyes…..if you let Him. God...
Faith Over Fear
9:37 Amidst all the headlines that stoke fear and uncertainty, the thing that keeps coming to me is the full armor of God bestowed to all who believe. All of the pieces of armor are significant (belt, breastplate, shoes, shield, helmet, and sword) because they all go...

When I run a brush through my hair…this is what I get!! LOL!! As a little girl Isabel called my curly hair "crazy" and would say, "mama I want crazy hair like yours." Gotta love the stuff kids say:) And no, I did not order coffee looking like this, but I might as well...

Check Up
Our poor Isabel got a little woozy as the phlebotomist had to stick her twice to get the blood she needed for the labs ordered. She tried to bargain for Chik-fil-a since she had to be stuck by three different needles. I had forgotten both her and her brother got their...
