Seasons
We encounter many seasons in our life don’t we? Not just the change in climate, but the seasons that bring forth shifts to our daily life. Some of these shifts are so welcomed and needed. And some just bring us to our knees. Change is inevitable and we all face different seasons where we need…

A Day To Remember
The year was 1982. The atmosphere was cold and snowy. The day, December 31. This was the day that a 13 year girl stood on her front porch and watched a 14 year boy trek through the neighbors wet-snowy grass. Their eyes locked, their cheeks blushed from ear to ear, and from that moment ……

Blessing In The Bruising
When I was younger I read the autobiography of Joni Eareckson Tada entitled, Joni. If you aren’t familiar with her, she dove into a shallow bay and became paralyzed from the shoulders down.

Hush The Lies
This past year I stumbled and listened to the Enemy and the lies. Harsh lies that screamed, “You are not worthy. You are not loved. You will never be enough.” These lies led me straight into a pit! A dark and lonely pit. Added weight fell upon me with this ‘man-hole-like cover’ planted right…

Grace
Something has changed in my heart. I’m not quite sure how to describe it, (or that I like it?) but a shift has grabbed hold of me and enabled some boldness? to come forth. I have really never felt bold so it seems a bit strong when relating it to myself. So instead, I’m going to…

Cleanse Me
Not long after the onset of entering into our cancer journey, I had a chat with a friend. Several years before this her daughter had her own battle with cancer. I recall this conversation so vividly. It’s etched into my mind like carvings on a scroll. She would be the first person who was able to connect…

Inside: the unseen
Not long ago my lips were starting to get chapped. I could feel a ‘split’ right down the center of my lip starting to form. Strangely though, I could really only feel the split. There was not much visible evidence on the outside of my lip, but wow, it sure was tender! After a few…
