When I think of joy, I think of this verse: The word ‘JOY’ is more than just a noun, defined in the dictionary as: JOY (n): “a feeling of great pleasure and happiness.” To me, the word ‘JOY’ is a VERB (a call to action!), defined in the dictionary as: JOY (v):”REJOICE” We often talk…

I can completely relate to the Centurion man who went to Jesus asking Him to heal his servant who was at home, paralyzed & “dreadfully tormented”.  When Jesus responded with, “I will come and heal him.”, the Centurion quickly responded saying, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only…

There’s something beautiful about encouraging someone else when we’re the ones needing encouragement the most. Reaching out to someone when we’re hurting changes our focus from: As we seek the One who gives healing, hope & life on behalf of someone else, we’re no longer able to stay in our own mud of: Focusing our…

Today I’m joining Lisa-Jo Baker for her 5 minute Friday where we’re given 5 minutes to write. No editing, no fluffing, no second-guessing. {START} Aphids: those nasty white flying bugs that get all over plants & kill them. I hate them!

Ever have a day when everything seems to be going wrong & all you want to do is crawl back in bed & claim a “do-over”? I DO! There are days when I wake up feeling off & my day just seems to follow suit. My skin is less than “cover-girl” ready, my hair is…

Tears are forming in my eyes as I sit here tonight writing this. Originally, I deleted my  scheduled post because I just didn’t feel brave enough to share the backstory to my God-sized Dreams.  But here I am, shaking in my slippers & praying God can use my testimony to bless & encourage you. When…

Last evening I learned a beautiful lesson from my six year old stepson.  After coming home late from work, I walked in the door & received a hug hello, to which I asked my typical, “How was your day, Bub?”  He hung his head & barely above a whisper I could hear his response, “I…
