Depression + Anxiety + Obesity + Chronic Pain = An Uphill Battle. I had to take a break here because this topic is hard to write about. I started getting an ocular migraine from staring at the screen, waiting for the words to come. I took a tour of the veggies growing in the garden, …

I’m excited for this post, because it is what I needed to hear. I read Bible plans with my support group and the one we read over Easter taught that God wasn’t going to waste His time fixing the old man. He made us into a new creation. So let’s look at relevant scriptures and …
One of the twelve disciples, Thomas (nicknamed the Twin), was not with the others when Jesus came. They told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he replied, “I won’t believe it unless I see the nail wounds in his hands, put my fingers into them, and place my hand into the wound in his …
I was thinking about the saying, “an audience of one” the other day, as it pertains to my mindset for writing my novel. I questioned if that was a biblical concept. Did God only want me to write to please Him or did he have a greater intention? Here are my thoughts. First, what scripture …

I’m content to not pursue matters that are over my head— such as your complex mysteries and wonders— that I’m not yet ready to understand. I am humbled and quieted in your presence. Like a contented child who rests on its …
I’m such a baby when it comes to being sick. I was ready to put on my running shoes and get busy writing my novel again when I came down with a stupid cold. Now all I want to do is sit around in my pjs and read until I’m better. Oh! And eat. I …
Know the importance of the season you’re in and a wise (per)son you will be. But what a waste when an incompetent (per)son sleeps through his day of opportunity! Proverbs 10:5 TPT (parenthesis are mine) Don’t you love when God speaks clearly by multiple avenues? That’s been my experience this week. Between my Bible plan …
“That’s just the way I am.” Have you ever felt that way? Or maybe—“I’m too broken, God can’t fix me.” Or even—“My son/daughter will never come back to Jesus.” We try and we try to be the person we think we should be, and we pray and we pray for our lost loved ones. But …
