It has been a year since I started my blog. It took a lot of convincing from the Lord to get me to do this because I didn’t feel like anyone would want to hear what I had to say. I battled back and forth for months with Him and then He reminded me that this was going to be a team effort and He would be there with me every step of the way. Because it is a team effort, I want you to know that the words that I write come from Him. I want you to know that my biggest desire is for the Lord to be glorified in what I say. I desperately want to be used by Him and I hope my words can be an encouragement to you. I want to say thank you for reading and I appreciate you so very much! Continue reading “One Year Ago” →

Have you ever been in a state of total confusion and lack of understanding in a situation? Your brain just can’t wrap itself around what is going on. You are so confused and completely disoriented by what just happened. Your mind is filled with so many questions and doubts and you want your questions answered but you know deep down inside that there is no answer that makes sense. That is how my life was for years. It seemed like I went from one assault to another and I didn’t have time to even take a breath. When I look back, I can’t believe I survived it! There were many times I didn’t think I would. I felt like a ball being tossed around and being dropped over and over again. Continue reading “When Life Throws You Curve Balls” →

I have a heart that wants to love, share, give, help, nurture and teach. My heart wants others to feel cared for and valued. I am a sucker for little kids and buying anything they sell and wanting them to feel special. I want to do anything I can to help them achieve success in what they are doing. Because I am like this, I have always had a hard time accepting people not caring and people being cruel to one another. I know that a lot of people say, “Well, nothing surprises me anymore.” But inwardly I must say that cruelty still surprises me. I still don’t understand why anyone could be cruel to someone else.

I don’t know about you but I am having a hard time these days watching or listening to any type of news. I just don’t want to hear the political stuff or what is going on in the world because frankly it is too depressing. I would love to have a channel that reports all the good things that are happening because there are good things and I would much rather hear about that than the other news. Because I am a sensitive person, things in our world really trouble me. It is so easy for me to get discouraged when I look at the bad news and all the violence out there in the world today.

I have been going through a lot emotionally lately. There are so many things that I have been struggling with but the one thing that I want to share with you is how much I care about you knowing Jesus Christ as your Savior. I gave my heart to Christ when I was twelve years old. I knew deep down inside that He was the only way I was going to survive my life. I had a deep yearning to know Him and love Him. I went to Bible studies, Young Life and church as much as I could. And once I knew the Lord, I wanted my friends to know Jesus too! I got as many as I could to go to Young Life every week and I wanted them to grow in their faith too. Continue reading “Take the Lead” →
