In His Time
I’ve heard it said that God makes all things beautiful in his time. But that’s not the only thing he does in his time. In his time, he fulfills his promises. This is something we see played out in the lives of many in the Old Testament. Let’s take a look at Father Abraham. You…

True Faith
Too many people who are believers have a misunderstanding about what it means to truly be a believer. Have you ever had anyone tell you that the life of a believer is easy? Have they ever told you that it only means prosperity, joy, rainbows and a pot of gold at the end of the…

Unchanging!
I remember as a little girl being so excited to get to weigh myself at the Publix Grocery store when my mom would take us. We just loved to see how we were growing. I could tell you that now when I walked by that scale at Publix, I do not step on it any…

Embrace Your Story
In the last 20 years of my life I came to the point where I can’t stand generic romance or love stories that are unrealistic fluffy love stories. I guess I’ve become too cynical after seeing the challenges in relationships, my own and those around me. What appeals to me more are stories about real…
