Great Expectations
I was all set! I had determined to be successful at writing! I studied, I invested, I sought encouragement, but alas, I found frustration, and frustration stopped me in my tracks. My struggle to understand the ways of marketing and social media promotion simply took the wind out of my sails and writing lost its …
Peaceful, Cheerful, and Kind
Peaceful, cheerful, and kind; what do these three words have in common? They are feel good words, words that even just saying them make you smile. Go ahead and say them out loud. How did they make you feel? Now let's add a few more words to them: a peaceful heart, a cheerful look, and …
Four Simple Steps Toward a Healthier You
When I talk to friends and family about the changes I've made to my diet, they commonly reply, "I could never give up (insert favorite food here!)" And for most people the fear of having to give up the things they love, outweighs their desire to get healthier; until it doesn't. So for those of …

Doing Good
Just a quick post. Sometimes as we are praying and receive scriptures for others, God uses the same scripture for our own benefit. That happened to me yesterday. Galatians 6:9 New Living Translation (NLT) 9 So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest …
Love in Process
I made a commitment to myself and to my friend to send her a scripture each day through April with the intent of writing a devotional. The funny thing is I'm uncovering some amazing scriptures and she suggested it might take me two months instead of one, and I agree. I'm finding God is leading …
