  I pray that all of you are well. I must admit to being under the weather lately, but I am feeling better. I hope you don’t mind, but this post is me writing myself out of hurt feelings and negative thoughts. I have been thinking a lot about different circumstances in my life and the…

• You’ll Be in God’s Heart

  This toddler of mine has me all messed up, especially at bedtime. One night, I had a particularly hard time getting her to sleep, so I decided to do something I did when she was in her infancy: sing. The song I chose is one of my favorites: “You’ll be in My Heart” by Phil…

• Obedience: Consequence of Listening to God’s Voice

  Sis, Sunday was a big day for us. We (JR and I) officially joined a church. God has been calling to go back to my home church for over a week. I had reasons why I didn’t want to go back, but most of them were selfish and illogical. Yes, I still have some growing…

• Power of the Tongue: Speaking It Into Existence

  Life with a toddler is fun, but I realized I had to become brave with a toddler. Wednesday was one of those days. I had to fight my first real nemesis since JR was born: a lizard. Hear me out. I love animals, but reptiles and insects are not for me. When I walked out…

• Faith Over Fear

  Prayer: Have Your way, Lord. My mind and heart have been so full of fear. I understand now that You can not dwell in the same space as unbelief. I know now that when I feel fear, I will trust in You. Fear. Girl, I had to take a deep breath after typing that word.…

• Struggling to See Wonderful

  

  New Oxford American Dictionary defines wonderful as an inspiring delight, pleasure, or admiration; extremely good; marvelous. For most of my life, I’ve been told how good I am, and I have been praised for being delightful. I received good grades, and I was very active in sports such as soccer, cheerleading, and dance. I still…
