Life Lessons
In my current season of being a caregiver, it leaves me little time for myself to do the things I enjoy doing. I also find it hard to steal away time alone to pray.

Not Today Comparison
Key Verse: Psalm 68:11 (NIV) “The Lord announces his word and the women who proclaim it is a mighty throng.” All my life there has been one battle I have tried over and over again to gain the victory over.

Have you ever felt insignificant? It is a feeling that I know I struggle with from time to time. It is hard to believe that such a big word can make you feel not only small but less than. Less smart. Less beautiful. Less qualified for the job. We are never insignificant to the one who matters most. God never…

Finding Confidence to Jump Into Life
I haven’t always had confidence and often let things intimidate me. As a result, I lacked the confidence to jump in and would sit out. I remember when I was a kid, I wanted so much to learn to swim. I watched all the other kids jumping in the water and swimming around. They made it look so easy. They…
