Strength
For the past 7 months, my son and his baby have been staying with me. A broken relationship and wanting a better environment for his son brought him to stay with me. Although, this was a temporary living arrangement, it is now time for him to move out on his own. I know this is what’s […]
Handy Work
Have you ever gone through a construction or remodeling of your home? If you have, you know the mess, the destruction that it causes at first and during the process until it is all new and beautiful again. When we become new Christians, we are just like, a home remodeling. It may bring mess; a […]

Invisible Presence
With my son’s 3rd birthday coming up next week, I have done a lot of reminiscing. One of my thoughts was of how my son’s birth ultimately saved my life. During my pregnancy, I developed symptoms that I would later find out were from a brain tumor. The hormones during pregnancy had made it grow […]
Not Crushed
Our new sermon series at church is called “Pressure Points”. Wow! Very powerful lessons because who doesn’t have daily pressures? Young working moms trying to juggle every aspect of life and thinking everything HAS to be perfect because what would people think? Oh I did that for many years. I called it the “supermom” syndrome […]
Refining
This past week I had the privilege of receiving a sermon from the front row of the church instead of sharing a sermon from the platform. My friend, Jerry, challenged our faith family during his message in the area of drawing closer to the Son, Jesus Christ. One of his primary points involved the illustration […]
