Romans 8:31-39 NLT I got some very disappointing news last week concerning something I have been working hard to accomplish for the last 8 years. I had to get approval from 6 people that didn’t even know me, to move me along in a long drawn out process. Needless to say I didn’t get their […]
1 John 3:11-24 (NLT) Television personality Art Linkletter once asked a little girl if she knew what true love was. She thought for a moment and then said, “Love is when your mommy reads you a bedtime story. True love is when she doesn’t skip any pages.” The same can be true about our attempt […]
Deuteronomy 31:8 I recently moved from a quiet, peaceful country setting to a not so quiet neighborhood that is closer to town. I love being closer to my kids and it’s more convenient and economical. I had been thinking about moving for a while but every time I would get serious about looking, I would […]

Philippians 3:13-14 NIV Sometimes the destination is worth the effort, I found out a few weeks ago while hiking. The terrain was pretty tough with lots of steep and rocky hills. To say I am in the best physical shape is the understatement of the year and I was sucking air most of the hike. […]
Ephesians 2:10 While in college, I pressured and pushed myself to be perfect; to be the perfect size, to have the perfect grades, to be a perfect singer, to be the perfect friend, etc. I ended up developing an eating disorder and became so focused on my looks and being perfec that I skipped classes, […]
Proverbs 3:5-6 While on Facebook the other day, a picture came across my news feed that stated “If you want to make God laugh…tell him your plans.” How true this statement is. Just when we think we are in control of our lives and think that we have it all together, God proves us otherwise. […]
James 5:16 (NIV) I recently experienced my first visit ever to a Chiropractor. It may not seem like a big deal to some, but I was nervous and unsure of what to expect. In my first consultation, I explained the pain I was having and when asked how long had I been in pain, I […]
